Taylor Swift goes out to dinner in a fuzzy trim black and tan jacket in New Orleans, LA during Super Bowl LVI weekend. — Worn On: **2/8/25 // New Orleans, LA**

the commentary

A Coat That’s Almost Famous: One glance at that trim and I knew we were looking at a Charlotte Simone coat. The designer is is known for her fluffy, glam outerwear. This also marks Taylor’s third time wearing one of Charlotte’s coats and a second time this weekend we’ve been given a fashion flashback to Taylor’s 2024-25 NFL season of looks. You might recall that Taylor wore a Charlotte Simone coat to the Chiefs vs Texans game right before Christmas. The night prior to this, Taylor rewore a pair of earrings that made their debut in the Chiefs 2024-25 season opener against the Ravens.

On Repeat: Much like her coat, there were a few recognizable repeat elements to Taylor’s outfit while out in NOLA the eve of the Super Bowl. Her necklace and ring are both repeats that Taylor previously wore in October 2024 while out to dinner in New York City. Incidentally, both back in October and here she styled this jewelry pairing with a new Dior bag. Her previous Dior bag - a matte black saddle style - was reworn when Taylor attended the Chiefs vs Buccaneers game. Is this a possible indicator we’ll see this ‘Journey’ bag today? Taylor’s game day bag last year was a sequinned football with an ’87’ on it so this might be a bit too subtle for such an occasion, but the name does make me think it would be a sweet nod to the “journey” of making it through another season to get to this final, culminating championship game.

The most interesting repeat of all are those boots. From what I can glean (the photos from the evening aren’t the highest of quality), these are Taylor’s suede ‘Candy’ platform boots from Saint Laurent. She owns the ‘Candy’ style in two versions - an embellished pair and the pictured suede. These particular boots haven’t been seen in her closet since August 2017. I personally love when we get “archival” pulls from Taylor’s closet like this - it’s a reminder that she keeps things and loves a repeat/rewear. The 2017 of it all, I’ll leave with you to think on.

To me this all adds up to double down on my theory that her game day outfit on Sunday will have other callbacks (call them sentimental or superstitious) to items worn on other game days this season — or perhaps even from last year’s Super Bowl.
