Taylor Swift and Travis Kells have been a couple through the ages, appearing in coordinated outfits everywhere from the US Open to an Electric Lady Studios wedding to a Brooklyn pizza joint. But with the Kells traveling to the Chiefs' away game this weekend, Swift had to call in new reinforcements to match her fall plaid miniskirt and Vivienne Westwood drip for a night out in Soho.

Enter Gigi Hadid, fresh off Versace's Spring 2025 show in Milan. She returned to the U.S. shortly after her September 20 runway walk and joined Taylor Swift at The Corner Store restaurant in New York City on September 21 for a girls' night out that matched her classic fall palette.

Taylor Swift opted for a night out look that she and stylist Joseph Cassell Falconer have favored since last year: something Vivienne Westwood (in this case, a cropped long-sleeve sweater and huge heeled snakeskin ankle boots) plus an academic plaid micro-mini skirt and a Stella McCartney bag. She then threw on a striped trench by Vivienne Westwood. Photos of the full look can be found in Page Six.

Gigi Hadid ditched the floral dress she wore on the Versace runway in favor of something closer to her signature cool mom-meets-model style. She opted for a shiny brown trench coat that matched the tone of Swift's belt, with a crew-neck white T-shirt and khaki pants peeking out from underneath.

Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid wore matching outfits before Travis Kells appeared for the chat. The two, along with a vast group of model and singer friends, often go to New York City restaurants in coordinated black dresses and matching tall boots. Gigi Hadid's outfits are usually sophisticated and minimalist with pops of gold jewelry, while Swift is more experimental with proportions and textures.

This time around, Taylor Swift's fall plaid mini-skirt follows a micro-trend in her wardrobe. Throughout her Tortured Poets Department era of fashion in conjunction with her latest album, Swift has worn Dior's tartan plaid and Vivienne Westwood's checked skirt suit to casual dinners and red carpet events. This variation of the pattern matches the moody, scholarly tone and visuals of her latest songs. It also has a classic fall feel when it appears as an outfit for a girls' night out.

Swift ultimately did not return to the couple-style beat until later in the weekend. The Kansas City Chiefs will play the Atlanta Falcons on September 22, and Taylor Swift has attended every game of the 2024-2025 NFL season so far. Her looks have ranged from vintage T-shirts worn as dresses to denim Versace corsets and thigh-high boots. But the star player didn't seem to show up for Sunday night's game at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Among her recent fashion choices, Taylor Swift's new find for plaid is most consistent with the Fall 2024 runway. From horse girl riding boots and shearling dresses to the resurgence of barn jackets, the very chic of the English countryside is back. Tartan and plaid, of course, are also a big part of the look. Last night's checkered mini-skirt may be a hint that Swift has a vote in the fashion trend that women actually wear. And she brought Gigi Hadid along for the ride.
