Taylor Swift in David Koma: The Graham Norton Velvet Mini, the Colbert Burgundy Dress and the Closest Pieces in Stock
Taylor Swift has worn David Koma on two television appearances, both times in velvet and both times in a mini. On The Graham Norton Show on 3 October 2025 she wore a black velvet halter minidress with a collar of crystals cut to look like large stones, which People priced at $1,875. On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on 10 December 2025 she wore a burgundy velvet off-the-shoulder mini, reported at $1,695, with burgundy velvet pointed pumps. Coveti does not stock either exact dress. This guide sets out what each look was, and the David Koma pieces in stock that come closest to it.
Key facts
- 3 October 2025, The Graham Norton Show: a black velvet halter minidress with a crystal collar, $1,875 according to People.
- 10 December 2025, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: a burgundy velvet off-the-shoulder mini dress, $1,695 according to People.
- Coveti does not carry either dress. The closest pieces in stock are listed below, from $2,240 to $4,740.
- The two looks are the house’s codes in short: a halter with crystal at the neck, and a bare shoulder in a rich fabric.
The Graham Norton look: black velvet and a crystal collar
The dress was a short black velvet halter, close through the body, with crystals at the collar standing in for a necklace. Coverage at the time read the stones as a nod to her engagement ring. The pieces at Coveti that share the idea, a black halter with jewellery built in, are these.
1. Crystal Pendant Halter Midi Dress, $4,740
Black satin to mid-calf with a halter neckline, a velvet choker and a crystal pendant. It is the closest thing in stock: velvet at the neck, crystal at the throat, a black halter. The length makes it a dinner dress rather than a television one.
2. Supergirl X David Koma Crystal Logo Mini Dress, $4,440
A black halter mini in the house’s signature cady, with the Supergirl logo embroidered in silver crystals across the front. Fitted through the bodice, it flares slightly into the skirt. Same length and neckline as the Graham Norton dress, with the crystal moved from the collar to the chest.
3. Star Rhinestone Open Back Mini Dress, $3,490
A black viscose jersey mini with long sleeves and an open back, hot-fixed throughout with silver crystal stars. The crystal is spread over the whole dress rather than gathered at the neck.
The Colbert look: burgundy velvet off the shoulder
The Colbert dress was a deep red velvet mini cut off the shoulder with pointed sleeves and a fitted waist, worn with matching velvet pumps. The bare shoulder and the tone are the parts to copy.
4. Velvet Trimmed Off-the-shoulder Midi Dress, $3,270
Black satin to the midi with a velvet-trimmed off-the-shoulder neckline. The same shoulder line, with the velvet as a trim.
5. Velvet Denim Corset Top, $2,240
A red velvet denim corset top on delicate straps, laced at the back, in 100% cotton. Worn with the matching {a(‘PF26DK20DTR’)} ($2,380), it is the velvet and the red of the Colbert look in separates.
6. Crystal Oval And Drape Mini Dress, $4,070
A red viscose jersey mini with long sleeves and drape at the hip looped through a crystal-embroidered oval. The colour and the length of the Colbert dress, in jersey.
How to wear it like she did
Both looks are a single strong dress with almost nothing added, which is how David Koma is meant to be worn. On Graham Norton the crystal collar was the jewellery. On Colbert the shoes matched the dress in colour and fabric, which keeps a short dress from looking cut in half. For the shoe, a pointed pump; Coveti’s own David Koma pump is the Satin Slingback Pumps In Green.
