Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce dressed in Polo Ralph Lauren
The whole world knows all about it and has seen it by now: pop princess Taylor Swift and football star Travis Kelce are engaged, and they wore Polo Ralph Lauren in their engagement announcement.
Swift wore a Polo black-and-white striped silk-blend dress, Kelce a cable-knit cotton polo collar sweater in navy. No surprise, the dress sold out.
According to Glamour, netizens the world over have broken down the symbolisms of their attire: “The airy Ralph Lauren dress nods at bridalwear with a white base, although the trendy vertical stripes keep it in the realm of ‘I could just be wearing this for a stroll through a garden with my boyfriend.’ The 35-year-old paired it with an iced-out watch, a diamond tennis bracelet, and yet another Swift-ism: chunky leather sandals in acorn brown, perfect for that aforementioned stroll that turned into an engagement shoot. It really is the kind of ensemble ‘your English teacher,’ per the announcement post, would wear on the weekend.”
Now is as good a time as any to hark back to the Ralph Lauren legacy. Few characters have captured hearts and imaginations like Ralph Lauren’s Polo Bear. Since his beginnings as a birthday gift to Ralph Lauren in 1990, the Polo Bear has become a cult icon with a global, style-obsessed following that spans generations.
Rivaling only the Polo Pony, the Polo Bear has transformed into more than just a brand emblem—he’s become a storyteller, a style icon, and now, a digital pioneer.
For decades, the Polo Bear has served as a canvas for creative innovation, gracing everything from childhood bedding to iconic sweater collections, skateboard decks, timepieces, and prestigious sport partnerships. From pinstripe suits to fishing gear, from flag sweaters to western wear, the Polo Bear has become Ralph Lauren’s most cherished ambassador, embodying every facet of the brand’s lifestyle vision, proving himself to be the world’s most versatile and best-dressed fashion icon.
Today, the Polo Bear steps boldly into motion for the very first time with The Polo Bear Chronicles: Operation Black Tie. The brand’s first-ever animated short film is a new expression of Ralph Lauren’s storytelling spirit, brought to life through its most timeless icon. Set against a backdrop of moonlit galleries, secret invitations, and a spirited polo match at a private estate, Operation Black Tie follows the bear through a tale of elegant intrigue.
