Taylor Swift wore $1,075 butter yellow Gucci Lexi Heeled Horsebit Sandals on a date with Travis Kelce in London. Shop similar summer shoes from Vince Camuto, Anthropologie, and NYDJ, starting at $38.

Her retro look featured summer 2024's hottest color trend.

Taylor Swift’s shoe game leans into her musical epochs; just look at her oxfords during the Red era or schoolgirl loafers during The Tortured Poets Department. Though, on a recent London date with Travis Kelce, Swift dipped into a surprising footwear choice I didn’t see coming.

Swift wore a VRG Girl crochet mini dress, Stella McCartney Falabella Bucket Bag, and luxe accessories from Maria Tash and Tiffany & Co. Instead of opting for a predictable comfy sandal or sleek stiletto, the Fortnight singer opted for a Gucci Lexi mule heel in summer 2024’s hottest color: butter yellow. But if you’re looking to snag her exact shoes, you may be disappointed, since the once $1,075 mules have since sold out.

NYDJ Dewi Slide Mule

Orig. $149 $69 at Amazon

The striking shoe boasted a thick front strap, chunky flared heel, and the iconic Gucci horsebit chain. The ‘70s-inspired shoe deviates from the star’s current wardrobe of blacks, whites, and grays, making me think a new era is on the horizon—because nothing is a coincidence when Swift is involved.
