Here you go, just tested it. (works in xCode 7 Beta at least)

@IBOutlet weak var yourButton: UIButton!

var attrs = [
NSFontAttributeName : UIFont.systemFontOfSize(19.0),
NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.redColor(),
NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName : 1]

var attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string:"")

override func viewDidLoad() {
  super.viewDidLoad()

  let buttonTitleStr = NSMutableAttributedString(string:"My Button", attributes:attrs)
  attributedString.appendAttributedString(buttonTitleStr)
  yourButton.setAttributedTitle(attributedString, forState: .Normal)
}
