But in the months since the A-lister's wedding, what fans have seen is a shift in her style, as she is leaning into her 'softer' side, according to experts. 'Since Swift's nuptials to Travis Kelce, the pop star has leaned into the more soft, feminine side to her ever-changing style,' Nicole Klementowicz, founder and fashion stylist for The Refresh Atelier, told the Daily Mail.'From her floral brocade Markarian frock [when she attended a pal's wedding] to her recent Chiefs game gingham polo dress, there's a more romantic polish to her already high-low girly charm,' Klementowicz said.

This 2026 longer style sticks to her natural blonde hue and has unfussy styling.'Swift has been seen styling her haircut with elegant outfits, like the $2,100 striped Stella McCartney silk halter dress she wore on a date night with Kelce to the Ambassadors Clubhouse in New York earlier this month.When she made a surprise cameo at the 2026 Emmys in a Law & Order sketch, she paired the chic cut with a gray wool twill blazer by Alexander McQueen and matching pleated pants.
