While Travis certainly experimented with different fashion looks throughout his past relationship, several fans agreed that they’ve seen a noticeable shift in his style since he started dating Taylor in 2023.

With this in mind, here are more celebrities who underwent noticeable style changes when they got into new relationships.

For the record, there’s no proof that these celebrities changed their style just because they were dating new partners. In fact, these switches might have had nothing to do with the relationships directly. That said, these changes have been observed by fans over the years, and — whether intentional or not — have sparked conversations around these celebs’ style evolution.

1. Funnily enough, Taylor has also been accused of switching up her style between relationships. To list a few notable examples, here’s the sort of thing she wore while dating Harry Styles:

2. Kourtney Kardashian is another celebrity who fans feel has displayed noticeably different styles from relationship to relationship. Here are the outfits she wore while dating Younes Bendjima:

3. When Kim Kardashian and Kanye West first started dating, he memorably threw out all of her clothes in a bid to revamp her style. And indeed, over the course of their relationship, all of her outfits were directly influenced by him:

When they eventually parted ways, Kim initially struggled to style herself without Kanye’s input. However, she eventually managed to find her footing in the fashion world:

4. Before she was linked to Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Fox often switched between casual and classic Hollywood glam-inspired looks on red carpets:

And since MGK, she has noticeably opted for more edgy and rebellious fits:

5. Rita Ora’s fashion choices have gotten more and more rebellious since she began dating her now-husband, Taika Waititi, in 2021; ever since, she has worn more sheer and provocative outfits and rocked pretty unrecognizable haircuts at events.

7. When Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth rekindled things in 2016, she memorably grew her hair out and swapped her rebellious, skin-baring outfits for more modest ones. Earlier this year, Miley actually admitted that this style change was a conscious choice in a bid to make their relationship work.

8. Gwen Stefani has talked openly about how her husband, Blake Shelton, helped her embrace her femininity when it comes to fashion. She said in 2022, “Ever since I met my husband, that part of me has really come out in my fashion more than ever — the femininity that I didn’t really embrace for a lot of years, just because of being in a band with all guys and being on stage.”
