Sweater weather represents a state of mind.
Taylor Swift attended Cara Delevingne’s penultimate performance of ‘Cabaret’ in London last Friday, dressed in a sky blue Stella McCartney jumper ($1,690) with a fringed hem.
Trading her bedazzled Eras Tour costumes for something cosier, the Grammy winner drew her companion in for a hug backstage after the show, as shown in a photo Delevingne published on Instagram Thursday, which highlighted some great moments from her several-month-long spell as Sally Bowles.
It makes perfect sense that Swift would choose Stella for this specific outing; the vegan brand has been a go-to for her since 2019, when the two worked on a collection inspired by Swift’s “Lover” album. (One of the tunes, “London Boy,” even makes a reference to the British designer.)
In addition to incorporating McCartney’s sustainable fashions into many of her street style ensembles since then, the “Cruel Summer” singer wore one of Stella’s plaid coats on the cover of her woodsy “Evermore” album in 2020.
“Stella is so creative,” Swift told fans during a YouTube Q&A ahead of her music video premiere for “Willow,” the album’s lead single.
“I told her I had a secret project and she designed clothes that were EXACTLY what I imagined. I drove to her office, picked them up and took them into the woods!!”

Clearly, the appreciation is mutual; “Knowing someone well makes creating something for them easier. With Taylor, everything happened so naturally; the pieces I made reflected the effortless emotionality of her album,” McCartney wrote on Instagram at the time.
“Complementing a friend’s creation is rare and precious and feels incredibly special.”
Delevingne has long been close to McCartney, having appeared in her runway presentations, attended many Met Galas wearing her designs, and most recently starred as the face of her brand’s summer 2024 campaign.
