Taylor Swift is back.
No, she hasn't announced her 13th studio album or another massive world tour. She's simply stepped back into the spotlight after a few quiet months away.
Since March, the music icon has been photographed at awards shows, walking around New York City, and sitting in suites at Arrowhead Stadium — in support of her husband, Travis Kelce, of course.
Naturally, she's worn statement outfits for each occasion. Designer jackets, expensive jewelry, and luxury handbags remain her signatures.
Some of her recent looks are the epitome of her effortless street style, while others haven't made much sense. Here's how we'd rank what she's worn this year, from worst to best.

She was photographed in New York City wearing a $1,190 white button-up blouse from Stella McCartney, $1,350 The Row trousers, sandals from the same brand, and a black leather belt.
The bottom half of the outfit was chic, but her top looked too formal, making the outfit feel corporate.
It couldn't be saved by Swift's $4,500 Fendi bag or her Cartier Santos Demoiselle watch.

Swift was spotted on September 20 standing in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium with her mom and mother-in-law.
She kept her outfit simple that day: denim bottoms, a black leather belt, and a $40 Chiefs tank top from Wear by Erin Andrews.
There was nothing really wrong with the outfit; the musician looked cute and comfortable. Still, it was so simple that most fans probably won't remember it next season.

At another Chiefs game, Swift wore a $295 checkered dress from Guest in Residence.
It was a sweet, festive choice for the occasion, especially when paired with her signature red lipstick.
At the same time, though, the pattern made the dress resemble a picnic tablecloth, which wasn't ideal.

She arrived on the blue carpet wearing a couture gown from Tamara Ralph. It had a halter neckline, a black velvet bodice with a mesh back, and a sparkling silver skirt that wrapped around her hips and reached the floor.
From the front, Swift looked powerful and stylish.
Unfortunately, the thick, lace-up feature on the back of the dress made it look less elegant.

Swift and Kelce were sitting courtside when the Knicks played the Cavaliers in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.
Both wore denim outfits for the game, though Swift's look was undoubtedly flashier. She paired $790 Stella McCartney jeans with a black denim jacket and a chain-embellished tank top from the designer.
Swift also sported a Dior purse, Stella McCartney sandals, and an assortment of gold jewelry — including her massive engagement ring.
The outfit was fun, but also simple and a little forgettable.

She took the stage alongside her friend, Dakota Johnson, wearing a $595 Simkhai brown plaid minidress. Swift also wore a $1,500 Yves Saint Laurent chain belt, a gold Cartier bracelet, Burberry boots, and hoop earrings.
The outfit didn't make for her flashiest fashion moment, but it was cute and understated.

Photographers captured Swift wearing a $295 Guest in Residence polo top, light-wash denim jeans, Gucci sandals, a matching leather belt, and an assortment of gold jewelry.
She also carried the large Chloé Penelope bag.
It was one of Swift's most cohesive looks so far this year.

Wiederhoeft designed the ensemble, which was sleeveless and decorated with silver sparkles.
Swift wore it with $36,000 Dena Kemp earrings and Jimmy Choo sandals. The assortment of rings and bracelets she wore also retailed for $36,000.
Swift looked pretty, and her outfit was solid. It wasn't her best look of the year, but it was far from her worst.

On one New York City outing, Swift paired a blue-and-white striped Staud dress with $1,195 Christian Louboutin sandals and a yellow mini Lady Dior bag.
The outfit was fun and perfect for summer. The mix of diamond and opal jewelry she wore with it only added to the look.

Just look at the floral Doen dress she wore for a night out with Kelce in May. The off-the-shoulder design had puffed sleeves, a semi-sheer skirt, and a ruffled neckline.
The dress was cute on its own, but it looked even better with Swift's choice of accessories: $920 Aquazzura sandals, gold jewelry, and a small raffia bag.

On a different night in New York City, Swift was photographed wearing a white Retrofête minidress. The simple garment had a high neckline, long sleeves, and a short pleated skirt.
On its own, the dress might not have stood out on Swift. However, she accessorized to perfection.
She contrasted the garment with a slouchy black Dior purse, Gucci slingback heels, and a ponytail.

Swift and Kelce attended a wedding in New York City in May and were photographed outside the event.
While Kelce sported a black Essentials suit with subtle pinstripes, Swift glowed beside him in a shimmering Maria Lucia Hohan gown.
The sleeveless design had waist cutouts, all-over ruching, and thin straps.
It looked stunning on Swift, who wore it with gold Aquazzura sandals and opal jewelry that previously belonged to Elizabeth Taylor (whom Swift name-checked on her latest album).

Swift sat courtside with Mariska Hargitay, the Haim sisters, and other Knicks fans who cheered their way through Game 4.
Her outfit for the night was perfectly on brand. Made by Alana Haim, Swift's blue T-shirt had "Stevie Knicks" printed in orange across the chest.
The shirt was festive and fun, nodding to Swift's love for both the sports team and the iconic musician. She wore it with Area jeans and chain-adorned sandal heels.

Swift became the youngest woman inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in June.
She wore a custom Givenchy gown for the occasion. It was black, strapless, and corseted at the bodice, which connected to a floor-length skirt with a thigh-high slit.
It was a memorable look for an equally memorable night.

Swift arrived on the red carpet wearing a patchwork minidress from Erdem.
It had a corset bodice, off-the-shoulder sleeves, exaggerated pockets, and a raw hemline.
The dress was playful, fashion-forward, and the perfect choice for a movie premiere.

Dior designed Swift's baby-blue gown, which suited her in silhouette and color.
It was strapless with a sweetheart neckline, a glittery bow up top, all-over ruching, and a floor-length skirt with a short train.
She accessorized with Aquazzura heels and Chopard diamond jewelry.

Los Angeles lived up to its "city of angels" nickname over the weekend.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show went to the West Coast this year and was hosted at Sony Pictures Studios on Sunday night. Gigi Hadid, Candice Swanepoel, and other iconic models all hit the runway.
Of course, there were lots of lingerie and athleisure looks on the red carpet, too.
Still, you might not have caught some of the night's best details — like the significance of certain outfits and the celebrities who made surprise appearances.
Here's what you might have missed.

For the first time since 2018, Victoria's Secret sent a Fantasy Bra down the runway at its famed fashion show.
It collaborated with jewelers Jacob and Co. to create the one-of-a-kind piece, which took over 1,000 hours and 15 artisans to make.
On Instagram, Jacob and Co. said the bra features 4,410 diamonds totaling 1,373 carats. One of those is the brand's 75.54-carat natural Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond, which hangs in the middle of the bra.
It's valued at $50 million, which makes it the most expensive Fantasy Bra ever shown on the Victoria's Secret runway.
It was also a massive surprise that Jenner, 29, who never previously walked for Victoria's Secret, had the honor of wearing the special piece. It's usually reserved for veteran models of the show.

Palvin walked her fifth Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Sunday — and it was one of her most impressive appearances.
The 33-year-old model delivered her first child, a son, six weeks earlier, as she and her husband Dylan Sprouse announced on Instagram in September.
Backstage at the show, Palvin told People that it was "empowering" to walk the runway, but also "not that big of a deal."
"I'm going to be six weeks postpartum tomorrow, which I think in the US most people have to go back after six weeks," she told the publication.
It's also not the first time Palvin has walked the runway after a major health event. In 2025, her husband revealed that she'd broken her foot four weeks earlier and still walked the runway in heels.

The former "Suite Life of Zack and Cody" actor, who married Palvin in 2023, was seen in videos applauding and cheering for his wife as she walked the runway.
He's made memorable appearances at past Victoria's Secret shows as well, including one time in 2018 when he brought burgers to the model backstage after the show.

You couldn't miss Lima as she walked the runway in a lime-green, lace one-piece with a plunging neckline and waist cutouts. She also wore green sandals, jewelry, and a pink floral back piece.
The 45-year-old model first walked for the brand in 1999 and was named an Angel in 2000. She's since walked while pregnant, and in three different Fantasy Bras.
Though she technically retired from the show in 2018, Lima returned when the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show made its comeback in 2024.

Hosk, 37, stepped onto the runway wearing a sheer, beige bodysuit and massive Angel wings made from brown feathers and flowing gold fabric.
On Instagram, the model confirmed they were the biggest wings worn on the 2026 runway.
"Thank you for trusting me and letting this new mama walk with the most gorgeous and biggest wings of the show," she wrote across an Instagram story.
Hosk gave birth to her second child, a daughter, at the end of July.

The Oscars red carpet has some competition: the Academy Museum Gala.
Since 2021, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles has hosted the gala to celebrate film and raise funds for future exhibits.
This year, celebrities came out to support, and they mostly did so in style. Taylor Swift, for example, wore one of her best outfits of the year to the event on Saturday.
Unfortunately, there were some fashion duds, too.
These are the best and worst outfits we saw throughout the night.

Dior designed the strapless gown for Swift. It had all-over ruching, a sweetheart neckline, a floor-length skirt with a short train, and a silver bow that extended down its bodice.
Swift wore it with Aquazzura heels and Chopard diamond jewelry.
The pieces made for one of Swift's best outfits of the year, and one of the night's strongest looks. The gown's princess silhouette and light coloring suited Swift perfectly.

Kardashian's cream-colored gown was designed by Balenciaga in 1951. It was strapless with a ruched, baby-pink neckline, a corseted bodice, and a lace-lined skirt.
The design also had a pink bow that extended into a train across the back. She wore it with a diamond necklace and matching earrings.
The gown itself is a piece of fashion history, but it didn't suit Kardashian. Its old-school fabrics didn't match her modern style, and her short hair made the overall look appear like a costume.

He wore a custom Valentino suit comprising a black blouse left unbuttoned, flared trousers, a bedazzled blazer, a satin cummerbund, and a matching loose tie.
The sparkling look was glamorous and accessorized well with silver pinky rings and a statement watch. It was also tailored perfectly to the actor.

His Saint Laurent look was refined, featuring only wide-leg trousers, a satin top with a neck scarf, and a coat.
It was the latter piece that unfortunately distracted from the rest of the outfit. It was too long and looked out of place.
He either should have worn a shorter style or ditched outerwear entirely.

Randolph wore Louis Vuitton for the occasion. Her white gown had off-the-shoulder long sleeves, a fitted bodice, and a floor-length skirt that was tailored perfectly to her height.
A back bow and train pulled the glamorous ensemble together and gave it a dramatic flair.
The best part of Randolph's look, though, was how she completed it with an updo hairstyle and diamond jewelry.

Richie, a model and influencer, arrived wearing vintage Versace. The black gown from 2001 was sleeveless and form-fitting, with a high neckline, long skirt, and skinny attached train.
She looked pretty, but her dress was overly simple — especially when paired with a slick-back bun hairstyle and minimal jewelry.
Adding bold makeup or statement accessories could have elevated the look.
Frazer Harrison/Getty Images
She wore Dior for the gala in the form of a sleeveless, ankle-length gown made entirely from strings of beads.
The latter were arranged in rows of blue and white, with a few leaf shapes peeking through up top.
The dress was perfect in color and material for Lee, and there was nothing else like it on the red carpet.

When Princess Charlene married Prince Albert of Monaco in 2011, her life changed.
Once best known as an Olympic swimmer representing South Africa, she was reintroduced to the world as a princess.
The official Monaco royal website says she was born Charlene Lynette Wittstock on January 25, 1978, in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. At age 12, she moved to South Africa with her parents and her younger brothers.
There, she began forging a career as a swimmer, taking home several awards at the 1997 South African championship, including the coveted title of best female swimmer.
Charlene went on to represent South Africa at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. As fate would have it, her future husband, Albert, was there as a spectator — though the pair wouldn't officially cross paths until she visited Monaco for a swimming competition later that year. They eventually married and later had twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.
However, marrying into a royal family came with certain lifestyle adjustments, including Charlene's sense of style.
From her days as an Olympic athlete to being one of the most recognized princesses around the world, here's a closer look at how Charlene's fashion has evolved.

For the big night, she wore a black floor-length gown that was elegant and a world away from Charlene's previous ensembles.
It featured a sweetheart neckline and a long skirt with a lace-lined slit that reached her knees.
She paired the gown with silver drop earrings and a matching clutch.

For her first appearance at Monaco's annual Red Cross Ball, Charlene wore a sparkly, semi-sheer, backless ball gown that she borrowed from a friend, she told Tatler in 2010.
Reflecting on the look, Charlene wasn't exactly fond of her choice. "I looked like a Christmas tree," she said.
"I was used to living in a swimsuit and totally clueless about fashion. The day of the ball, I had been playing volleyball all day on the beach and didn't think about getting ready until late in the afternoon," Charlene added.
In a separate interview with Vogue before her 2011 wedding, Charlene remembered the outfit as one of her least favorites.
"Finding my fashion feet has certainly been the biggest challenge," she said. "I realize that my debut into Monaco society should have been better executed!"

For the official photographs that accompanied the big news, Charlene wore a colorful, floor-length dress.
The flowy blue-and-green gown was designed by Akris. It was backless and featured an elegant halter neck.
The official portraits also showed her sparkling engagement ring, which featured a three-carat, pear-cut diamond surrounded by smaller round jewels.

The ensemble, made of a blazer and palazzo pants, was both regal and reflective of Charlene's sporty aesthetic.
"It's feminine and keeps with tradition yet has a little twist that reflects my personal style," Charlene told Vogue. "I thought it was a nice change to go for trousers instead of a skirt, especially since I'm an athlete and have always kept my clothes clean and simple."

The designer told Vogue that the off-the-shoulder gown — which was made of Duchesse silk and silk organza — was covered in 40,000 Swarovski crystals, 30,000 gold stones, and 20,000 mother-of-pearl teardrops.
The look was completed with an intricate silk-tulle veil that took around 100 hours to embroider.

For the occasion, Charlene wore a sleeveless, ivory Akris gown that was partially sheer at the top and featured a cutout at the back.

Charlene's hairstyle drew mixed reactions after the annual Christmas event in Monaco. Nevertheless, she told the French magazine Point de Vue that she didn't care for anyone else's opinion.
"This haircut was my decision," she said. "It seems that it has provoked all kinds of comments. But it turns out that I wanted it for a long time. The style pleases me. That's all."

The unique jumpsuit was designed by Terrence Bray. It featured a wide neckline, puffed bell sleeves, and pants so long they covered her feet.

The latter had a single puffed sleeve and a velvet belt that matched her dress.
Charlene completed the look with black pumps and emerald earrings.

Charlene was photographed arriving at the event in a black Jenny Packham gown, one of Kate Middleton's favorite designers.
