Taylor Swift's Answer for "Nice Restaurant, Not Gala" Is Still the LBD

Taylor Swift went with the surest bet in the closet for a dinner date with Travis Kelce: a little black dress, no further debate necessary. It is the specific kind of dress that solves a specific kind of evening — sharp enough for a real table, unfussy enough that you are not still deciding at the door. No trend piece needed, no season to check it against; the little black dress has always been dinner-date shorthand for "put together, not performing." Swift's version of that math is, once again, correct.

With reporting from Elle.
