Taylor Swift Channels '90s Minimalism in a Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy-Coded Satin Skirt

Taylor Swift returned to New York City in a '90s-inspired white satin skirt trend inspired by Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.

One 60°F day in New York City was all Taylor Swift needed to declare that satin skirt season has finally returned. This time around, though, the known pattern-lover went with a more '90s-coded style that makes us believe she, too, is having a Love Story-inspired fashion moment.

On April 8, the pop star was spotted having dinner with a friend in a maxi skirt that could be read as bridal white or as celebrating Pantone's 2026 Color of the Year, Cloud Dancer. She paired it to a black spaghetti-strap tank, making it an outfit reminiscent of what Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy would've worn in the '90s. (Swift also had an extra-long tailored coat, which she took off to enjoy the warm weather.)
