Taylor Swift Takes Her Vivienne Westwood Platform Boots to Kansas City for the Latest Chiefs Game
More from Footwear News
Taylor Swift, reigning queen of boots, took part in Monday Night Football on Oct. 7, when Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs snagged a win against the New Orleans Saints. The superstar, who recently became the richest female musician in the world, arrived to Arrowhead Stadium in a Vivienne Westwood ensemble including a pair of edgy platform leather boots.
Swift, avowed lover of fall and the cozy things associated with it — including plaid — stepped out in a tartan dress in muted hues of red and gray, perfect for an October day. From Vivienne Westwood’s fall 2024 collection, the dress featured a cowlneck with a sweetheart outline leading into off-the-shoulder sleeves.
The fabric of the bodice folded and gathered at the waist while the A-line miniskirt featured an asymmetrical hemline. The “Fortnight” singer modeled her go-to red lip and shook up her makeup look with a smattering of sparkling freckles.
Swift is always on-theme when it comes to supporting Kelce at his games, having stepped out in a range of red outfits this NFL season and last — and the ensembles often include boots as of late.
Swift complemented the plaid dress with another item from Vivienne Westwood — the brand’s $1,270 Grace Boot. Westwood’s official description of the boot says that the design was inspired by shoes included in the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood Autumn-Winter 2023-24 show. The boots, which hit below the knee, feature stretch fabric that hugs the leg, a substantial platform that slopes upward into a pointed toe, and a towering block heel. They are crafted in Italy and draw their name from fashion icon Grace Jones.
Swift has stepped out in this shoe before; in September, she attended a VMAs after party wearing the Grace boot with what appeared to be a custom look from Monse featuring a sci-fi-inspired design.
Swift’s boots often serve as a major focal point of her outfits. She attended a Chiefs game in early September wearing a denim ensemble with a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti over-the-knee leather boots in red, nodding to the team’s main color with the statement shoe. For a subsequent game, she wore the same style in black and paired them with an oversized Chiefs T-shirt.
Swift also frequently models boots when it comes time to dress up for awards shows or take the stage on her ongoing Eras Tour — at the recent VMAs in September, she wore thigh-high Stuart Weitzman boots, and she performs, of course, in Christian Louboutin.
