Taylor Swift’s night out in New York City with Zoë Kravitz and Jerrod Carmichael grabbed attention. Internet users are now dissecting her appearance, leading to online buzz.
On Friday, November 8, 2024, Taylor Swift stepped out for dinner at the newly opened Chez Margaux restaurant in New York City. For the occasion, Swift chose a striking outfit. She wore a vibrant striped corset dress featuring shades of blue, yellow, and red, paired with burgundy velvet sandals.
Completing her look, Swift carried a sleek black leather purse, accessorized with a gold pendant necklace and a matching bracelet. She opted for a relaxed hairstyle, tying her blonde locks in a loose bun.
Her makeup was equally bold, with a bright orange-red lip, red eyeshadow, and black eyeliner. This eye-catching look, however, wasn’t what fans solely focused on.
Fans on social media didn’t hold back, flooding comment sections with their thoughts on Swift’s changed appearance. While some praised her bold look, others speculated about possible cosmetic enhancements.
“Am I seeing a nose job ???” one user wrote, while another echoed, “New nose alert.” A few commenters pointed out changes around her eyes, asking, “Did she have an under-eye lid surgery?”
The chatter continued with remarks like, “Does anyone else think she looks different?” and “It’s probably just me, but she kinda looks like a different person. Like maybe she did something different on her face and make-up. She’s glowing though.”
Some users criticized her styling choices, “The makeup, hair, style are just terrible for her. She does not have that natural style around her that makes her pull off anything.”
Not all responses were critical, but the conversation veered into speculation, with multiple users noting that she looked different. One commenter humorously added, “At first I thought it was Penny Marshall! lol” with another admitting, “I didn’t recognize her 😮.”
Amid the speculation, positive reactions emerged as well. “She’s never looked better,” one fan wrote. Others chimed in with simple yet enthusiastic praise, “Gorgeous!” and “You look incredibly stunning Taylor! ❤️❤️🔥”
Swift has previously spoken out against the pressures women face regarding beauty standards. In a 2019 interview with Elle magazine, Swift addressed the unrealistic expectations placed on women to remain youthful, expressing frustration over society’s obsession with aging.
She emphasized that the loud societal messages often suggest that showing signs of aging is undesirable, something she believes isn’t expected of men to the same extent. Swift commended activist Jameela Jamil for being vocal about these issues.
“Reading her words feels like hearing a voice of reason amongst all these loud messages out there telling women we’re supposed to defy gravity, time, and everything natural in order to achieve this bizarre goal of everlasting youth,” she stated.
Swift also opened up about her own struggles with body image. She noted how she had to train herself to embrace her natural weight and accept the changes that came with it.
“I worked hard to retrain my brain that a little extra weight means curves, shinier hair, and more energy. I think a lot of us push the boundaries of dieting, but taking it too far can be really dangerous. There is no quick fix. I work on accepting my body every day,” she explained.
Despite the ongoing buzz and speculation surrounding her look, Swift has yet to comment on the recent rumors. This silence leaves room for fans and onlookers to continue dissecting her appearance, analyzing everything from potential cosmetic enhancements to changes in makeup and styling.
While most of the conversation speculated about possible cosmetic enhancements, Swift’s night out with Zoë Kravitz and Jerrod Carmichael offered more than just rumors. Her striking outfit was also a focal point.
Taylor Swift’s friend, Kravitz, stepped out in a chic ensemble, featuring an oversized black coat layered over a cream slip dress. She paired it with sheer black pantyhose and black kitten heels. Kravitz accessorized the look with a brown handbag, adding a stylish yet understated touch to her outfit.
After the friends’ group dinner, Swift was pictured leaving Chez Margaux with Carmichael. Her photos in the striped corset dress made it online, where fans had plenty to say about her fashion choice. Reactions went from hilarious criticism to heartfelt admiration.
One viewer took a jab at her style, “Who’s going to tell her Halloween is over? She has no style or taste. Just a bad dresser. Is she too frugal to higher [sic] a good hair, makeup and clothing stylist? Temu has better styled models.” Some users couldn’t help but roast her outfit, “Taylor looks like a Halloween costume 😂.”
Someone else remarked, “Looks like smeared ketchup and mustard.” Another online user also joked, “That was one messy hotdog!😂.” “In a similarly humorous vein, a user said the dress “looks like an apron,” and another suggested it had “I Luv Lucy potato sack vibes.”
But not everyone was critical. Some fans who loved her look gushed, “😍😍😍😍 Taylor looks gorgeous!!!!!” Another excited fan chimed in “She looks amazing 😍.” One fan even penned “So beautiful!❤️❤️ And I want those shoes!!😍” proving Swift’s fashion choices can still spark a debate between detractors and admirers alike.
These nominations were a great win for Swift as she made history by being the first female artist to be nominated for Album of the Year seven times. Her 11th studio album “The Tortured Poets Department” is competing for Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammy.
Swift was glad to celebrate with Zoë Kravitz, who she has spoken of in the past in a heartfelt manner. The singer said, “Zoë’s sense of self is what makes her such an exciting artist, and such an incredible friend. She has this very honest inner compass, and the result is art and life without compromising who she is.”
When Kravitz was struggling with deep insecurity about being in the entertainment industry, Swift was there for her. Kravitz noted that her insecurity came from being referred to as a nepo baby. She thought that simply because she had famous parents, she was less deserving of success.
Swift stood by Kravitz during these struggles as she stayed in London when her friend landed a role in “Batman” and was busy filming.
This familiar face helped Kravitz handle her insecurities, as she noted, “She was my pod. She was a very important part of being in London, just having a friend that I could see and that would make me home-cooked meals and dinner on my birthday.”
Swift and Kravitz have remained close for years now. Their friendship also led to a creative collaboration, where Kravitz contributed as a co-writer and background vocalist on the opening track of Swift’s album, “Midnights.”
