Chiefs vs Ravens in Baltimore
Worn On: 1/28/24 // Baltimore, MD
the commentary
As has been Taylor’s M.O. for her game day style, she opted for a sentimental piece by a friend - this one a Chiefs-approved cherry red cozy knit by friends Gigi Hadid’s cashmere brand.
It’s been fascinating to observe Taylor’s game day fashion evolve from September to now (full post over on the newsletter) and even more so to see her wear something so utterly non-descript during such a key match like the AFC Championship - a Super Bowl decider game.
We’ve seen Taylor be unafraid to literally wear her heart on her sleeve, opting for ’87’ plastered pieces like a custom jacket but I think her choice here to go subtle (especially at an away game, which has also been typical for her game day style playbook) and non-descript but no less personally meaningful to be the right call to strike a more supportive spectator (not starring) role. Especially given the fact that I’m sure the celebratory walk onto the field was planned in the case the Chiefs were to win - making her presence all the more visible and photographed and in particular closer up than any photogs would ever have access to her at previous games.
By contrast from her relatively non-descript outfit, Taylor went all out with sentimental and Chiefs-approved jewelry including her #SarahExact Mejuri ring. Not only is it very Taylor to wear her heart proudly in this fashion but it’s also very Taylor to execute such a high/low mix here. From solid gold forever rings (I will personally vouch for that Heirloom ring from the rooftops), to custom and classy diamond-encrusted tennis bracelets mixed with pieces by women-owned (or women-designed) and locally-made designers. I’ve so loved seeing her continue to underscore her long-standing fashion pillars even into her game day fashion.
That’s Taylor: An enviable mix of aspirational and approachable, all while being unabashedly emotional.

This entire outfit actually strikes a very similar formula to her December 10 appearance (which makes for easy game day dressing): Black coat, red top, short black skirt, tights, tall black boots.
