Taylor Swift Enters Her Loud Luxury Era With Gucci Platform Loafers and a $54,000 Louis Vuitton Watch
She's still very much bejeweled.
The short walk between Taylor Swift's car and Taylor Swift's table at an exclusive New York City restaurant always gives fashion fans something to ponder. Last night, it was a stack of luxury credits—Gucci! Louis Vuitton! Fendi!—that stretched almost as long as her Eras Tour set list.
Swift arrived at Chez Margaux, a new, members' only supper club in New York City's Meatpacking district, on Nov. 19, in her billionaire best. While the paparazzi focused on her huddle of close friends including Zoë Kravitz, my editors' eyes were trained on her megawatt accessories. From the ground up, Swift layered a pair of towering, G-logo embossed Gucci slingback loafers, a Fendi Peekaboo bag, a Louis Vuitton Tambour watch, and an Effy Jewelry necklace. Each one shimmered with hints of gold hardware. Receipt-wise, the late-night look rings up as one of Swift's most bejeweled street style moments to date. Her watch alone retails for $54,000.
Much like the Versace plaid skirt suit Swift wore to a recent Chiefs game—which she also paired with her LV watch—her night-out look also played on corner office styling. She matched her accessories' CEO energy with a checked coat and coordinating skirt by Carolina Herrera, with a solid black turtleneck underneath for good measure. While her outfit took a decidedly boardroom-esque swerve, her hair and makeup skewed more romantic. (Swift appeared to test coral rendition of the boyfriend blush trend, featuring her favorite NARS lipstick and a fresh blow-out.)
The Taylor Swift fashion directory has always been filled with high-low credits. She's as likely to wear Free People T-shirts and Reformation dresses as she is to layer a Gucci corset with a Vivienne Westwood dress. But the singer's latest outings, including to Chiefs games and nights out in New York, have lately taken a page from Jennifer Lopez's loud luxury styling book. As if stepping into her power as one of music's most-awarded and highest-earning performers, she's recently been unafraid to pile on noted It bags and competing designer logos. Just wait: The next time Swift pulls up to Arrowhead Stadium or the sidewalk outside The Corner Store, she'll have a Birkin bag swinging from her arm.
