Taylor Swift has been spotted wearing a £58 olive-green mini dress from Scottish fashion house Little Lies, leaving its co-founder Jade Robertson “gobsmacked”. The singer was seen in the dress while dining with actors Blake Lively and Zoë Kravitz at Lucali pizzeria in Brooklyn, New York, on Wednesday.
Robertson, based in Perth, told The Times she found out via WhatsApp from a member of her design team, whose brother spotted the dress on Twitter. By Thursday morning, the dress had sold out. The order was not placed in Swift’s name, leading Robertson to theorise it was made secretly by the singer or her team. The production run will be limited to “a few hundred” and the price will remain unchanged.
Robertson, who says she is more of a “70s classic rock girl”, appreciates Swift’s music and praised her for wearing the dress “in a very Stevie Nicks way”. Swift has a history of wearing affordable fashion, including a $98 red knit dress last September and a $48 bodysuit last June.
Swift is set to perform in Edinburgh for three nights in June as part of the Eras Tour, her first UK performances on the tour. She has 10 UK tour dates this year, including Liverpool, Cardiff and London. Last year, Swift’s albums Midnights and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) took the second and third spots on the UK album chart.
