Taylor Swift is embracing her new era for game day dressing. The singer arrived in a sporty-meets-sensual look on Thursday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City for the Chiefs football game against the Baltimore Ravens.
She arrived in Versace’s cinched Medusa denim bustier featuring curve-sculpting boning and a cropped cut. The brand’s Medusa ’95 gold embellishments popped against the medium-wash corset top, which was coordinated with matching shorts.
Swift’s Bordeaux thigh-high leather boots by Giuseppe Zanotti — along with vibrant rogue lips — added a subtle nod to her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Chiefs-red uniform. Zanotti’s Frannie pointed-toe boots featured a slick patent-effect finish, gold buckle straps and a stiletto heel. She carried Louis Vuitton’s Side Trunk bag in black with gold hardware and corners — a design inspired by the fashion house’s vintage trunks.
The show of team spirit continued with Swift’s jewelry, matching the Chiefs’ companion color, gold. Swift accessorized her look with a chain stud earring by EF Collection and Retrouvai’s Cushion Ruby Impetus Interlocking Puzzle Ring. A Bulgari necklace from the brand’s Monete collection, featuring a coin pendant, was the statement piece.
