Following the director's split from actor Channing Tatum, pop sensation Taylor Swift was recently spotted out and about in New York City with Zoë Kravitz. On November 8th, comedian Jerrod Carmichael joined the couple for dinner at the Chez Margaux restaurant in New York City, as quoted in a report by The Blast.

On Friday, the singer of "Lavender Haze" was nominated for five 2025 Grammys for her most recent album, "The Tortured Poets Department," and its lead single, "Fortnight," which featured Post Malone, who also received some Grammy nominations.

Swift reportedly donned a blue, yellow, and red Sunday striped corset dress by Vivienne Westwood, according to People magazine. She accessorized the ensemble with burgundy velvet Aquazurra Twist 95 sandals.

The "Bad Blood" singer accessorized her ensemble with a black leather Vivienne Westwood Granny Frame purse in addition to her vibrant dress. She also had on a gold bracelet and pendant chain necklace. She wore her long blond hair in a low bun, allowing a few free tendrils to frame her face. She opted for an orange-red lip, black eyeliner, and red eyeshadow for her makeup, according to a report by The Blast.

On a Pop Culture Chat Reddit page, fans commented on the dress's chic art teacher vibes and the unleashing of her inner Phoebe Buffay vibe. Some fans found the fit of the dress bulky, while others felt that Swift made the garments look objectively bad.

Another user questioned how someone with all the hallmarks of traditional American beauty, such as thin, white, blonde hair, can consistently look a mess. Swift has "the worst style" despite having "all the money and access to stylists and personal trainers and hairdressers in the world," according to a third user who also commented.
