Even with a global tour and nonstop headlines, Taylor Swift hasn’t lost touch with the relationships that matter most to her. On December 9, the superstar was seen enjoying a night out in New York City alongside Este Haim, her close friend and musical collaborator of many years—an easy reminder that, despite the chaos of fame, loyalty still sits high on her priority list.
The duo arrived together at Chez Margaux, one of downtown Manhattan’s ultra-exclusive, members-only spots. While the dinner itself stayed low-key, Swift’s outfit quietly did all the talking. The singer leaned into one of her most reliable cold-weather staples: knee-high boots — only this time, she chose a pair that immediately caught fashion watchers’ attention.
Swift wore the Louis Vuitton Midtown High knee boots, a sleek black design with a block heel and a subtle gold LV accent, priced at $2,370. Despite the name, the boots made their appearance far from Midtown, but geography clearly wasn’t the point. The footwear fit seamlessly into Swift’s growing archive of polished, repeat-wear favorites.
She doubled down on the designer with a black double-face wool coat from Louis Vuitton, valued at $6,400. The look was so precise it mirrored the brand’s own styling — right down to the monochrome palette — with Swift adding sheer black tights for a practical winter finish.
Rather than overload the outfit, she kept the accessories intentional. Swift carried a Prada Cleo shoulder bag in brushed black leather, subtly mixing luxury houses without breaking the look’s clean rhythm. Her jewelry stayed refined as well: yellow-gold diamond hoop earrings by Octavia Elizabeth, offering just enough shine without stealing focus.
Haim complemented the mood in her own way, opting for gold pointed-toe stilettos, a navy coat, and a Louis Vuitton shoulder bag — coordinated without looking planned. It was the kind of effortless style pairing that only longtime friends seem to manage.
This wasn’t a one-off moment, either. Just weeks earlier, Swift had already been spotted twice around the city in different knee-high boot looks, confirming what fans have long suspected: this isn’t a phase, it’s a uniform. As winter settles in, Taylor Swift’s loyalty — to her friends and to her favorite footwear — remains unshaken.
