When it comes to date night, the general consensus is to grab your best LBD and highest pair of heels. For Taylor Swift [1], however, a moment with her rumoured significant other Matty Healy [2] called for the total opposite on May 15, when the duo were spotted [3] leaving the Electric Lady recording studio in New York City. The 33-year-old "Anti-Hero" singer and 34-year old frontman of The 1975 attended a studio session-turned-party with other industry colleagues, including Kendrick Lamar and Adam Goldberg.
For the night out, Swift wore a low-key outfit that still managed to leave fans in a frenzy. She opted for a vintage purple and grey NYU collegiate sweatshirt and a black pleated miniskirt, finished with tan leather sneakers from the Olsen twins' NYC-based label The Row. Swift accessorised with an assortment of silver and gold jewellery and a brown crossbody minibag from Tod's, a nod to her 2014 style when she notoriously sported the Italian brand's Stella tote [4]. Meanwhile, Healy wore a black sweatshirt and pants with dark brown Timberland boots.
Swift's latest look is a casual departure from her glamorous onstage wardrobe for her long-awaited Eras tour [5], for which she has successfully coordinated her show attire with her storytelling catalogue [6]. Working with Joseph Cassell Falconer [7], she's donned an array of head-turning ensembles from renowned designers like Versace, Roberto Cavalli, and Oscar de la Renta. Her most notable dresses include an Elie Saab Haute Couture tulle ballgown that blooms into a dramatic skirt embroidered with gardenia-coloured organza petals before the audience, as well as a pink bedazzled Zuhair Murad number for the "Speak Now [8]" portion of the concert. She also switches up silhouettes throughout, swapping a silver, sparkly Versace blazer and Christian Louboutin boots for a gold fringe minidress custom-made by Falconer and Roberto Cavalli designer Fausto Puglisi.
