Her eyes were crying the violet color she might have done at a friend’s wedding – dripping onto the jewelry of a Hollywood screen icon.
The couple was photographed heading to Honey’s in Bushwick, Brooklyn last night. Swift wore a gold Maria Lucia Hohan Allar silk dress made from shimmering gold fabrication with a cutout waist, paired with a matching gold Aquazzura Ari clutch and Aquazzura Tequila sandals. (It’s a regular shoe in her current rotation.) In addition to a Kindred Lubeck old mine-cut engagement ring from Kansas City Chiefs Athlete, Swift also wore an impressive jewelry set.
