Taylor Swift has long established a very particular sense of style: her favorite brands (from Louis Vuitton and Gucci, to Charlotte Simone and Free People), her penchant for knee-high boots and mini-skirts, and never without her Artifex Fine engagement ring<\/a> from Travis Kelce.<\/p>\n But stepping out in New York on Wednesday night (April 8), The Life of a Showgirl<\/em> singer joined the masses of young women in the city channeling the codes of one Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy<\/a>. Swift opted for a black spaghetti strap tank top from (modern CBK-coded brand) The Row, paired with an ivory silk maxi skirt from Meshki, and a longline black blazer coat. For accessories: a Dior small 30 Montaigne Avenue top handle bag, an Audry Rose pave diamond lock necklace and a diamond trail lariat from the same jewelry designer. And, of course, that old mine brilliant cut diamond<\/a> set in a hand-engraved yellow gold band. Swift was joined by Ashley Avignone and Jerrod Carmichael.<\/p>\n Her glam hit all of her signature hallmarks (save for the usual flash of bright red lipstick), with swooping bangs and a flick of eyeliner.<\/p>\n Taylor Swift at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards.<\/p>\n <\/span>Photo: Getty Images<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Out and about in New York City, committed to her tried-and-true outfit formula of a mini-skirt and tall boots.<\/p>\n <\/span>Photo: Getty Images<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n The last time she was out and about was a tried-and-true Taylor Swift look. Appearing at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards<\/a>, Swift picked up seven new awards and gave her ring its red carpet debut, which she styled with a custom pistachio green Wiederhoeft corset and mini-skirt, Dena Kemp tourmaline earrings, rings by Selim Mouzannar and Ldezen, a Spinelli Kilcollin tennis bracelet, and Nak Armstrong ear cuff. Previous sporadic appearances<\/a> over the last few months (out for dinner at Bird Streets Club and Chez Margaux, for example) have seen her step out in Louboutin knee-high boots, The Row sweaters, Louis Vuitton outerwear, and a selection of Prada and Gucci bags.<\/p>\n Instead, Swift\u2019s outfit called to mind the muted \u201990s minimalism of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy (Might she and Kelce be as hooked on Love Story<\/em><\/a> as the rest of us?) with its pared back details and black-and-white palette. This week\u2019s look also had a distinctly bridal air to it, as Swift and Kelce approach their rumored summer wedding date<\/a>. With spring in full flow, maybe some later nights out at Via Carota or Minetta Tavern could see her channel more of those easy, breezy CBK codes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n
