When Taylor Swift returned to New York City earlier this month, her Carolyn Besette-Kennedy white satin skirt rewrote my predictions for her wedding dress. When the singer left San Vicente West Village in a Staud striped dress and Dior Lady bag on April 27, I also got an inkling of her honeymoon wardrobe—and ideas for beach vacation outfits beyond my wildest dreams.
Taylor Swift spent her Monday night out to dinner with close friends Ashley Avignone, Jack Antonoff, and Jerrod Carmichael, plus her father, Scott Swift. Between the something-blue cabana stripes of her Staud Wells dress,the sunshine yellow of her embellished Lady Dior bag, and the tint of her mint green nails, I picked up on energy as fit for a beachside dinner in the Bahamas with her fiancé, Travis Kelce, as for her evening in the city. I already own Staud's form-fitting striped dress and can vouch for the skirt's twirl-worthy movement in photos. While I don't have Swift's $9,500 Dior Lady bag, embellished in tiny, buttercup leather petals, I've spent enough time reporting on the savoir-faire to know it's worth the investment.
