Taylor Swift was always going to shimmer for her first public appearance since buying back her masters after years of negotiating. She finally had complete ownership of her life's work; she was going to dress like it.
Sure enough, the singer leaned on her preferred loud luxury formula when she met up with Selena Gomez for a celebratory dinner on May 31. First, the pop star (and her stylist, Joseph Cassell Falconer) selected a black Gucci skirt set lined in silver crystals, paired to metallic platform sandal heels and a matte bamboo bag by the same designer. Then, she twisted her curls into a low bun—the better to show off a familiar, $36,000 pair of DeBeers diamond earrings.
