Taylor Swift Finally Returns to Her Favorite NYC Spot in an Extremely On-Brand Dress

She's only been spotted a handful of times, usually on low-key dates with Travis Kelce. But on May 29, the she finally returned to New York City. Her first stop before announcing she had purchased her masters? Via Corota, a.k.a. the beloved Tuscan-inspired restaurant just three blocks north of Cornelia Street (IYKYK), for a late-night bite with Dakota Johnson. In true Swift form, she was snapped by the paparazzi en route to her car. Photographer @JosiahWPhotos shared a video of the sighting on Instagram. For her grand return to the West Village hotspot, the "Mastermind" singer sourced one of her favorite brands for off-duty occasions: Dôen, a celebrity-favorite dress label she's worn since at least her Folklore era. Just one week after she personalized the belted bag trend with the L.A.-based brand's Traveler Top and matching skirt, Swift continued her Dôen streak with the Benoit little black dress. The style was recently reimagined to feature a soft sweetheart neckline, ultra-slim straps, and a fitted bodice. Constructed from lightweight ramie (a linen lookalike), the LBD was mostly black, with a red, blue, yellow, and green pattern throughout. According to the website, it's a French block print straight out of the 1930s. View Deal Swift added a hint of Reputation-esque edge to the Dôen dress with a thick leather belt, courtesy of B-Low The Belt. Fittingly titled "The Phoenix," the black accent included gold hardware, plus double hanging chains. From there, the flowy A-line skirt stopped just below Swift's knee to reveal her strappy sandals. To no surprise, the Grammy winner chose red-bottom sandal heels from Christian Louboutin—the same designer behind her custom Eras Tour footwear, including the mismatched ankle boots she wore during the 1989 section. Then, Swift tapped into the celeb-approved belt bag trend with her current go-to Balmain purse. View Deal View Deal View Deal It's been a minute since Swift grabbed a bite in New York—five months, believe it or not. Her latest reservation was made on Jan. 17 at Nobu in the Financial District. Similar to her May 29 Via Carota look, Swift chose noir numbers, starting with an Area suit set and vintage Chanel earrings. Then, she slipped on one of her winter staples: over-the-knee boots from Chloé. A month prior, she hit up Chez Margaux (also a Swift signature) in a cozy Fleur Du Mal LBD. The legend accessorized it with a $33,200 Cartier watch, a Simkhai crystal coat, and platform shoes from—you guessed it—Christian Louboutin. All this to say? Swift's Dôen dress is so on-brand for her New York nights. Now that Swift has returned to the Big Apple, it's only a matter of time before she steps out again. Since she's already dined at Via Carota, maybe she'll hit up Zero Bond, Chez Margaux, or The Corner Store this weekend. Fingers crossed some of her celebrity friends join her.

This new Tuscan-style village in Abu Dhabi sold out in just 24 hours
Well, that didn't take long. A cool 378 townhouses and villas in the new Nawayef Village development on Hudayriyat Island have been snapped up in under 24 hours, racking up a tidy Dhs2 billion (US$544 million) in the process. Modon Holding, the developer behind the now-sold-out Nawayef Village, has confirmed that demand for this picturesque Tuscan-inspired gated community was through the roof. Think three-and-four-bedroom townhouses and five-bedroom twin villas, all wrapped up in Mediterranean charm, in a location that's quickly becoming Abu Dhabi's most sought-after lifestyle destination. If you didn't already know, Hudayriyat Island is having a moment. From its scenic cycling tracks (the new velodrome will open soon) and other first-class sports facilities (hello Surf Abu Dhabi) to beachfront dining, this stretch of coast is being reimagined as a luxury living hub – and Nawayef Village is one of the jewels in its crown. This new launch marks the first townhouses ever to go on sale on Hudayriyat and judging by the lightning-fast sell-out, there's a big appetite for family-friendly luxury on the island. Bill O'Regan, Group CEO of Modon, summed it up neatly: 'We're on a mission to reimagine urban living in Abu Dhabi.' Mission accomplished, it seems. The success of Nawayef Village is also a sign of where Abu Dhabi's property market is heading – upward, fast and with a firm eye on the kind of design-led, community-focused developments that modern buyers are clamouring for. Didn't get in on this one? Don't worry – Hudayriyat's full transformation is just getting started.
