Taylor Swift’s summer fashion just set the bar way too high for the rest of us. The 35-year-old pop queen stepped out in Philadelphia on May 11 with boyfriend Travis Kelce, looking like an actual summer daydream.
Their low-key dinner date at Talula’s Garden turned into a surprise style moment as Swift showed off her perfect blend of high-low fashion that only she could pull off so effortlessly.
While the outing was casual, Swift made it clear that her fashion game is always on. She rocked a $298 Christy Dawn dress called the “Nicks Dress,” named after none other than Stevie Nicks, her close friend and fellow music icon. The flowy maxi, now sold out, featured a soft scoop neckline, a flattering V-shaped bodice, and a romantic pleated skirt. She went with the Night Daisy print, which fans are now convinced is a sneaky Reputation Easter egg. If you remember the lyric from “Don’t Blame Me” where she says she transformed from poison ivy into a daisy, the theory doesn’t seem too far off.
To take things from adorable to aspirational, Taylor added some serious luxury with a $6,000 Chanel mini bag from their Spring/Summer 2025 line. The bag was tiny but mighty, crafted in quilted fabric and detailed with gold accents and a classic Chanel logo pendant. And if you think this is her first rodeo with Chanel, think again, Swift previously stunned in a $22,650 full Chanel look while cheering on Travis during a Kansas City Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium earlier this year.
Keeping her glam fresh and light, Swift wore a rosy mauve lipstick and kept her signature bangs in beachy waves. Honestly, it’s the kind of “effortless” glam that still somehow looks like it took hours to perfect. Meanwhile, Travis Kelce looked like her stylish match in a crisp white collared shirt, and his longer hair parted down the middle, giving off major relaxed boyfriend vibes.
This Philly date was a rare sighting of the couple in public after nearly two months out of the spotlight. The last time Swift and Kelce were spotted was back on March 14, heading into a New York City restaurant for a private dinner that reportedly lasted over three hours. At the time, Swift wore a chic grey blazer, while Kelce went with his usual smart-casual look.
Fans were hoping to see them on the Met Gala red carpet this year, but the couple skipped the May 5 event entirely. According to TMZ, they had received invites but chose to sit it out due to their busy schedules. Both stars have been soaking up some downtime post-NFL season and between stops on Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour.
A source close to the couple told PEOPLE that they’ve been making the most of their free time and traveling together a lot. “They are making the most of their time off together. They are hanging out with friends, too. It’s a special time for them,” the insider shared. And based on their latest appearance, it looks like this “special time” includes romantic dinners and runway-worthy date night fits.
From sold-out dresses to luxury bags, Taylor Swift’s summer fashion proves once again that she doesn’t just write hits, she wears them, too. Whether she’s dropping Easter eggs in her outfits or casually carrying a bag worth more than most people’s rent, Swift knows how to make a style statement without saying a word.
