Taylor Swift, a renowned figure in the music industry, was recently photographed wearing a Cartier watch estimated to be worth over $32,000, igniting discussions among fans and fashion experts about her evolving taste in accessories. The watch was first noticed in a photo posted by Swift’s close friend and stylist, Ashley Avignone, commemorating Avignone’s birthday celebration in New York City. The image captured the two embracing in front of a birthday cake, with Swift’s gold Cartier watch subtly visible on her wrist.
Sarah Chapelle, a prominent Taylor Swift style analyst, quickly identified the timepiece as a Cartier Panthère medium diamond watch. This observation led Chapelle to speculate about Swift expanding her jewelry collection to include high-end watches. Chapelle pointed out that Swift’s accessory choices have noticeably shifted towards more opulent pieces in recent times, particularly in her layering of necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. However, watches have remained a relatively unexplored territory for the star.

Chapelle recalled Swift’s previous appearances with timepieces, primarily limited to vintage watch faces repurposed as necklace pendants. This new Cartier watch marks a potential shift in Swift’s style, embracing a classic piece favored by iconic figures like Princess Diana. The specific model, the Cartier Panthère medium diamond watch, is listed on Cartier’s website with a retail price of $32,200. Adding to the intrigue, Chapelle referenced another recent sighting of Swift wearing a yellow gold Louis Vuitton watch at a Kansas City Chiefs game in November.
Beyond the watch, Swift’s complete ensemble for the birthday dinner included a Fleur du Mal long-sleeved flared corset dress, a Simkai long black coat with white embellishments, and Christian Louboutin black open-toed heels. The outfit was further accessorized with a Stella McCartney Falabella crystal-fringed tote and De Beers earrings valued at $36,000.

Swift, accompanied by her boyfriend Travis Kelce, completed her look with a stylish blowout and her signature red lip. Kelce opted for a festive attire of red pants and a red jacket, complemented by a white tee, a green and white baseball hat, and black lace-up boots. The appearance of the Cartier watch has sparked significant interest, raising questions about whether this signifies a new direction in Swift’s fashion choices and a growing appreciation for luxury watches. This development adds another layer to Swift’s public image, blending her musical influence with evolving style trends.
