Taylor Swift Reclaims Her Masters With Deeply Symbolic Jewelry
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. On May 30, pop superstar Taylor Swift was "elated" to share some major news with her 281 million Instagram followers. After a years-long legal battle, she had successfully purchased her masters from Shamrock Capital in a reported $360 million deal. "All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached, no partnership, with full autonomy," she wrote. "I will be forever grateful to everyone at Shamrock Capital for being the first people to ever offer this to me." Swift celebrated securing her first six albums' ownership with a down-to-earth photoshoot. She sat in front of a backdrop wearing a Khaite polo sweater, light-wash jeans, and white sneakers, with her original vinyls fanned out in front of her. Paired with her signature blonde bangs and red lipstick, Swift seemed to reference how she styles herself in the recording studio. There, she isn't modeling Dôen dresses or sampling off-the-runway Dior tartans; she's an all-around relatable artist, from love songs she's sang since 2006 to the denim she pulls on to write them. Swift didn't leave her reveal at just those basics, however. Zoom in on her photos, and a symbolic diamond ring—plus a shiny Cartier watch—subtly emphasize the strong-willed business behind her emotional moment. View Deal View Deal View Deal To celebrate the music that "belongs with" Swift, the star wore one of her most elite Cartier watches: the Panthere De Cartier. The chain-link timepiece is crafted from yellow gold and retails for $10,000—the definition of a power pick, and a symbol of how long she's waited to reclaim what she created. Then came her jewelry stack: a Tiffany "T" diamond ring, a Steven Battelle Ancient Greek coin pendant, and a diamond Evil Eye ring by Jacquie Aiche. All three pieces hail from collections Swift has worn throughout her recent loud luxury era. Jacquie Aiche's earrings also accompanied Swift onstage throughout the Eras Tour—the same exploration of her music that, with its $2 billion-plus in ticket sales, gave Swift the cultural and capital momentum to buy her masters back. View Deal View Deal View Deal Of the three pieces visible in Swift's look, it's her Evil Eye ring that's the most layered with meaning. For one, it's drafted entirely from diamonds—a stone that jeweler Jacquie Aiche describes as "providing radiant self-confidence while inspiring new beginnings" on its website. In her letter, Swift states how being "reunited with her art" through securing her recordings is the start of a new chapter in her life. Specifically, one where she owns all of her work for the very first time. The diamonds aren't just cast in a simple setting. They're arranged in a shape that has historically symbolized vigilance, awareness, and protection in a tradition dating back to ancient Mesopotamia. After fighting since 2020 to reclaim her catalog, Taylor Swift can now wear her Evil Eye diamond ring as a sign that the universe is finally on her music's side.

Why butter yellow is suddenly spreading across European fashion houses
The appeal of butter yellow — luminous, optimistic, sunny — is undeniable. Some fashion industry leading lights are dubbing it "the new neutral", applauding its versatility and compatibility with a whole host of staples like blue denim and black. And like butter, it slips into one's repertoire with ease. At legendary London department store Selfridges, which boasts its own iconic chrome yellow brand and packaging, the new variant is across the store. 'We've seen butter yellow spread across the runway for SS25, with brands Alaia, Toteme and 16Arlington all presenting soft, pale yellow hues across various silhouettes and accessories," says Laurie Field, Selfridges Buying Manager. "We of course have been long-term advocates of the colour yellow, but the sunny shade is sometimes overlooked. Try Lemaire's fortune croissant bag, Khaite's zesty, cashmere jumper, and Posse's airy linen set.' The shade is trending at all levels from couture to high street. At Uniqlo, where British born Clare Waight Keller is the new(ish) creative director, you can find it in soft ribbed jersey polo tops, bra tops and pocketable UV protection zip jackets. Having done her time at designer brands and houses Givenchy, Chloe and Gucci, Waight Keller is bringing her prowess to one of the most powerful movers in high street retail. 'It is a whole new territory for me and leads me deep into technological and material advances, as well as overseeing the colour, silhouettes and styles," she explains. Butter yellow has even seeped into the rarefied echelons of haute couture. Australian born couturier, Tamara Ralph, made it a focus of her January collection shown in Paris. Yellow is a natural fit for the sunny antipodean designer, who's known for her dreamy, flamboyant gowns favoured by stars including Bella Hadid and Priyanka Chopra. "In my opinion, the right colour can completely transform a look and its overall feeling," says Ralph, who fashioned a gorgeous, airy off-the-shoulder taffeta gown and a crystal siren gown embellished with ostrich feather pom poms in the hue. "Butter yellow — or as I refer to it, baby yellow — brings with it an element of joy and cheerfulness, but in such a way that is still elegant and innately feminine: it is more quietly luxurious than a bright hued yellow." Butter yellow is also being championed by fine jewellery designers like Cora Sheibani, who specialises in highly artful one-off pieces. 'I am currently using lots of citrines, which my stone cutter calls Palmeira citrine," she says. "It has a beautiful deep colour that pairs so well with other stones and looks great on most people. "I have also just designed a fabulous piece with a huge round Sphalerite, which looks like the sun and is a stone I have never worked with before but am very excited about.' But where does a fad for a colour really gain momentum? Recall a famous scene in The Devil Wears Prada in which Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) lectures Andrea Sachs (Anne Hathaway) about the rise of cerulean blue, and high fashion's authority to declare what colours unwitting consumers will soon be wearing. 'It's not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it is cerulean,' says Priestly, explaining how cerulean trickled down from the runway to wind up colouring Sachs' bulky cable knit sweater. "That blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs, and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of 'stuff'." But butter yellow isn't so much trickling down as crashing over the industry in an exuberant wave. The exact tone would have been decided upon over three years ago as dye manufacturers, trend forecasters and fabric makers decide on the colour palette of the 2025 season. Those materials will have been shown at trade fairs, including Premiere Vision in Paris, where designers chose the palette and order the fabrics that help guide the look and feel of a collection. If butter yellow or BarbieCore pink (2024) or cerulean blue is trending, there's a commercial imperative to work with that direction. Fashion only changes with a consensus shift. Early adopters help. Take Timothée Chalamet in his custom-made butter yellow suit at the Oscars, which was designed by Givenchy's new creative director, Sarah Burton. He looked fresh and playful set against the traditionalists in black tie. His appearance heralded a new chapter at Givenchy and kickstarted a mass fashion trend; since then, Rihanna, Sabrina Carpenter and Hailey Bieber have all donned butter yellow super boosting the vibe. Tempted? An easy buy is Chanel Le Vernis nail polish in Ovni. "I think that, generally, more designers and brands are embracing the use of colour," says Ralph. "And colour in unexpected hues. With yellow specifically, you often see tones of mustard, lemon and even veering into more of a cream, but butter yellow offers a fresh, new take. "The colour in and of itself stands out and is best paired with a well-tailored suit or separates or — on the opposite end of the spectrum — well-draped, billowy gowns with little or otherwise subtle embellishment that allow it to truly shine." This colour turnover is one way for the fashion industry to signal "freshness", and it's arguably the versatility of the shade that gives it its true power. 'Butter yellow is a gentle way to introduce colour to your wardrobe, the new neutral," says Field at Selfridges. "It's easy to wear and flattering for all skin tones." Once you tune in, you'll be spotting the hue everywhere. Consider it a form of everyday gold.

Khaite Resort 2026 Collection
Congratulations are in order for Cate Holstein, whose second baby, a girl, arrived the day before she was scheduled to present this resort collection. Chalk it up to the optimism and happiness a new birth brings, or simply to ongoing success—Holstein is on the verge of opening another new store, this one on Melrose Place in Los Angeles—but this was her most playful Khaite collection yet, styled with irreverence and exuding a freer spirit. The 'stealth woman' that she designs has a sunnier new disposition. The shift in attitude came across clearest in the way zebra-stripe pony skin mingled with sheer florals, and in the electric turquoise hue of ostrich cowboy boots and strappy evening sandals. The roomy cut of shirt-dresses in both solids and floral prints also conveyed a more laid-back sensibility. But if the vibes are different, these clothes are as deluxe as ever—the plongé leather of coats begging to be caressed and the equally pet-able pony skin of pants. The printed rabbit jackets she added to the mix are a sign of customers' changing attitudes about real fur, which had previously gone out of fashion. The all-important coat or jacket, the one piece that women are willing to spend money on because it does so much of a wardbrobe's hard work, both elementally and aesthetically, was an obvious focal point here. Holstein experimented with novel shapes, cutting jackets longer in front and at the natural waist in back, or adding side plackets to create sharp, dramatic silhouettes. In addition to plongé leather, she also used distressed leather, as on a bomber that reverses to shearling. Her tailoring is buttoned-up, quite literally in the case of double-breasted blazers and a single breasted leather jacket with chrome buttons from neck to hem. On the accessories front, there's a purple pony skin tote as vibrant as those turquoise boots. A PR rep pointed out that it would be great for weekend getaways, but you know what else it could look like? A rather eye-catching diaper bag.

Why The Tube Dress Is 2025's Must-Have Trend — And 15 Of The Best Styles To Buy Now
In the ever-spinning cycle of fashion, the tube dress has emerged as a standout silhouette for summer 2025, reclaiming its place as a warm-weather staple. Designers from Khaite to Alaïa revived the body-skimming column shape, offering updated takes that felt both minimalist and impactful. At Staud and Reformation, we saw playful reimagining in candy-colored hues and easygoing knits, while Zara leaned into soft jersey and ruched textures for everyday versatility. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Part of the appeal? The tube dress aligns with fashion's current return to stripped-down, sensual elegance. It channels the essence of the '90s and early 2000s without feeling overtly nostalgic — especially when done in modern fabrics or bold primary shades. It's also endlessly versatile. Dress it up with sculptural jewellery and platform sandals or wear it barefoot with slicked-back hair for a beachy, off-duty look. Of course, no conversation about tube dresses would be complete without a nod to the Wolford Fatal dress—a one-size-fits-all classic that's graced the bodies of everyone from supermodels to stylists. It's still a wardrobe MVP for good reason. It hugs curves without clinging and can be styled as a skirt, midi, or even a strapless top. Shopping tip: Look for high-stretch blends that won't lose shape over time. Whether you're splurging on a sculptural Alaïa or snagging a Mango or H&M version under £100, the tube dress is this season's most flattering no-brainer.
