Swift made a stylish entrance at the Texans-Chiefs Playoff Game, donning an oversized Chanel black-and-white tweed coat layered over the brand’s wool jersey jumpsuit. She completed the look with a silver Chanel belt featuring a logo-shaped buckle, a black quilted Chanel mini flap purse slung over her shoulder, and black leather gloves.
The ensemble was elevated further with Chanel cuffed boots paired with semi-sheer black tights. Her accessories included silver Chanel logo pendant earrings, perfectly complementing her iconic red lip and loose hair. The 35-year-old’s chic look turned heads as she settled in to enjoy the game. However, much of the fan chatter centered around her distinctive walking style.One fan questioned, “Why does she walk like that?” while another added, “Like why does she not know how to walk.” An individual suggested that the singer, “Need some walk practicing. 😢.”
Another fan observed her gait, “Her left leg/foot always looks odd. She does not have a model’s walk. We used to call it pigeon toed. You think she’d try to walk normal [sic].”
