Today is the big day and all the stars are out wearing their finest and most expensive clothes.

We just saw Bradley Cooper photographed in the West Village, in a tux, climbing into a Lexus GX 550 to join Hadid, who was in a pink sparkly dress after rolling out of her own apartment garage to collect him. Construction on his block kept the SUV from pulling up to his door, so Cooper walked the length of the street to meet it, all smiles by the time he climbed in.

Hadid was not photographed because she could leave her apartment, which has a private garage.

Two days earlier, Swift pulled the same garage move at Hadid’s building for a 5-hour sit-down that read less like a hang and more like a bride and her bridesmaid locking down the plan.

Next stop was Madison Square Garden for the Swift-Kelce wedding rehearsal, where Hadid is expected to stand up as a bridesmaid alongside Selena Gomez. Insiders have said since November 2025 that Swift asked her over an NYC dinner and Hadid accepted on the spot.

Cooper and Hadid met at a mutual friend’s kid’s backyard birthday party in 2023, got spotted at Via Carota that October, and stayed quiet for more than a year before going Instagram-official. At the 2026 Met Gala, she walked the carpet solo and kissed him after, then gave him a rare public shoutout as her “man.” They’re roughly 3 years in now, with a 20-year age gap.
