Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce appeared yesterday in Brooklyn, New York for a friend’s wedding wearing respective head-to-toe gold and all-black—blink and you might have missed her Elizabeth Taylor tribute, and a dazzling jewelry debut. Cry her eyes violet, she may have done at her friend’s wedding—dripping in the Hollywood screen icon’s jewels.
The couple were photographed heading to Honey’s in Bushwick, Brooklyn last night. Swift wore a gold Maria Lucia Hohan Allar silk dress in shimmering gold fabric, with a cut-out waist, paired with a matching gold Aquazzura Ari clutch and Aquazzura Tequila sandals. (A regular shoe in her current rotation.) Alongside her Kindred Lubeck old mine cut engagement ring from the Kansas City Chiefs athlete, Swift donned an impressive suite of jewels.

The pop star wore a full Darlene De Sedle 22K gold and opal diamond suite that was notably once owned by her idol and last album muse Elizabeth Taylor. It’s the first time she’s worn the entire set in public, which was auctioned publicly in 2011 and has not been seen in its full glory since. Swift modeled the matching chandelier-style earrings, ring, and bracelet—unmistakable, thanks to their pastel opal sheen and sculptural shapes.
It’s believed that Elizabeth Taylor, the classic Hollywood cinema star and muse to Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl, purchased the jewelry set in 1999. It stayed in her expansive collection until its sale at New York auction house Christie’s in 2011. The lot fetched around $6,000, and was part of a staggering, record-breaking $156.7 million day, exceeding all of its original estimates. Today, it remains one of the largest celebrity estate sales ever recorded. Later, the opal and gold suite was sold once again on 1stDibs for $125,000.
