the commentary

Welcome to New York, indeed! Since the Super Bowl Taylor has mostly kept a low profile, taking some well-earned rest and travel. She has been spotted intermittently since February while taking her deserved downtime but has mostly flown under the radar. This dinner out in NYC sees our first professional photos captured of her street style in some time.

Taylor historically loves a dress and often for dinners out will opt for a classic LBD (Little Black Dress). Here, she gives an LBD a summery spin with a dark floral midi by Dôen. Since Taylor added a trio of lobe piercings to her ears in summer 2023, she’s loved to accessorize with a jewelry stack - often layering necklaces and bracelets. One of the first things I noticed here was all the layers! By my count four necklaces and three bracelets (right wrist) plus a single chain (left wrist) and a few rings. To my eye, her choice to pick up on both her dress and her jewelry with black pieces accented by gold hardware makes for a cohesive look. The clincher, literally, is the belt which ties in everything neatly thanks to its cascading chain detail. It also serves, along with the dress, as an example of Taylor’s love of a high/low. Styling-wise, I don’t think I’d change a thing. Especially not those strappy Louboutin sandals - I love!

Of course, what this outfit will always be intrinsically tied to in my mind is it being the eve of Taylor sharing the successful purchase of her masters and life’s work. With that hindsight in mind, I couldn’t help but zero in on the ‘Phoenix’ style name and how, much like one, we always know Taylor will rise from the ashes. And, perhaps this is a stretch, but I couldn’t help but notice the colours of her dress and how closely these flowers, a symbol of something getting their due, closely correlate to the shades associated with her front discography. 💚💛❤️💜🩵🖤
