Taylor Swift looked like a princess at the 2024 Grammys!
The pop singer attended Sunday’s ceremony dressed in a white strapless Schiaparelli thigh-high slit dress that resembled Kate Middleton’s gown at the 2023 BAFTAs.
Like the Princess of Wales, Swift paired the look with black opera gloves but added some special accessories that included a layered necklace and a custom-made Lorraine Schwartz vintage watch that was worn as a choker.
The musician opted for a dark red lip and wore her hair to the side in textured waves. Swift made history on Sunday, becoming the only artist ever to win Album of the Year four times.
Although similar, Kate’s dress at the 2023 BAFTAs was an Alexander McQueen design that she first wore to attend the same ceremony in 2019. The repurposed dress had its left shoulder floral embellishments covered with white chiffon.
After originally wearing the look with silver jewelry, Kate added gloves and oversized rose gold floral earrings from Zara for a pop of color.
Genevieve James, creative director at royal glove supplier Cornelia James, told PEOPLE at the time about Kate’s accessories: “Opera gloves are transformative; they have enormous leverage. They turn any event into an occasion and a dress into a statement.”

Like Swift, Kate also made history wearing the dress as the 2023 BAFTAs marked her and Prince William’s event debut as the Prince and Princess of Wales. The couple have shown that they are fans of Swift on prior occasions.
While celebrating the 75th anniversary of the HMT Empire Windrush to London and the start of Black History Month in the United Kingdom, Kate was seen flashing heart hands — Swift’s signature move.
Ronnie Wood told Hello! magazine in November 2023 that Prince William joked that he would only go to one of his concerts if Swift made an appearance.
“We were talking about the tour and I said, ‘Come on, you’ve got to come out on tour’ and we were talking about the new album and everything. William said [he would] if we could get Taylor Swift there,” Wood said.
On Sunday, Swift shocked fans by announcing a new album, The Tortured Poets Department, coming out on April 19. She announced the project while accepting the Grammy for best pop vocal album.
