Taylor Swift Takes Her Favorite Gucci Platforms Out and About in New York City
The artist was spotted entering Electric Lady Studios in NYC
Reported by Harper's Bazaar.
Taylor Swift recording new music would be enough of a headline on its own. But the real story, if you follow her style as closely as the internet does, is that she walked into Electric Lady Studios in New York looking like she'd cracked a very specific fashion formula — and she's been quietly running it for years.
The outfit itself read effortlessly considered: a two-tone short-sleeve polo from Guest in Residence, Gigi Hadid's cashmere label, in a lightweight brown knit with a ribbed collar and shrunken fit. Below, high-waisted light-wash jeans with straight-leg tailoring and intricate seam detailing. The combination lands somewhere between prep school archive and downtown off-duty — two poles Swift has always known how to collapse into one.
The Shoes, Though
According to Harper's Bazaar, the real throughline here is the footwear. Swift stepped out in a pair of Gucci platforms she's been quietly rotating for over a year — orange-brown leather, thick platform base, peep-toe front, delicate ankle strap, and the house's signature horsebit hardware. She's worn this exact pair to a dinner date with Travis Kelce and to the US Open in September 2024, and she cycles through variations on the silhouette constantly: maroon platforms, black loafers, tall boots, low heels. All horsebit. The consistency isn't accidental. When a shoe works at every elevation of your life — stadium dates, studio nights, front rows — you commit.
She rounded out the look with a braided Chloé shoulder bag, a matching leather belt, and jewelry that told its own story: a Darlene De Sedle opal bracelet and ring, a Cartier Love bracelet, and an engagement ring that, at this point, needs no introduction.
What makes Swift's street style worth paying attention to isn't the individual pieces — it's the logic behind them. She's built a rotating wardrobe of high-quality, recognizable signatures that photograph well, travel well, and feel personal without being precious. The Gucci platforms are a masterclass in that: they're distinctive without being costume-y, they work across contexts, and she's worn them enough to make them hers. Finding your version of that shoe — the one that goes everywhere and answers every question — is the whole game.
