Taylor Swift's first appearance of 2025 didn't arrive at the venue (Arrowhead Stadium) or in the clothing (a Chiefs game outfit) anyone expected. Instead, she returned to the street style radar on Jan. 17 in New York City, taking her parents, Andrea and Scott Swift, as well as brother Austin Swift and pal Ashley Avignone, for a late-night bite at Manhattan's Nobu Downtown. Her little black Area suit and vintage Chanel earrings sourced by stylist Joseph Cassell Falconer still hinted she had boyfriend Travis Kelce's upcoming Jan. 18 showdown on her mind.
Swift walked into the restaurant in vigilante mode, her Area blazer's chain closures glinting in the light of the cameras. Its cropped cut and matching ultra-mini skirt left plenty of room for the singer to show off a pair of thigh-high Chloé boots. A ladylike clutch bag with a chain strap by Jimmy Choo dangled from the crook of her arm; her favorite Pat McGrath red lipstick shone next to a side-parted blowout and drop earrings featuring criss-cross diamond studs and double-C charms.
