In April, Swift appeared in New York City wearing a light summer dress. The pop star chose an affordable striped dress by Staud, priced at $325. The dress, with a corset insert and a full skirt, is made of lightweight cotton poplin. It comes in several color options, but Swift wore a blue and white striped dress.
The "Lover" singer didn't skimp on accessories, adding a gold pendant, a delicate bracelet, black cat-eye sunglasses, and brown Christian Louboutin sandals. The highlight? A rare Dior bag, which will set you back almost $10,000.
