Taylor Swift<\/a> was bejeweled!<\/p>\nThe pop superstar, 36, stepped out for a wedding dripping in recognizable jewels once owned by one of her latest album’s muses, Elizabeth Taylor<\/a>, while heading to Honey’s cocktail bar<\/a> with her fianc\u00e9, Travis Kelce<\/a>, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Saturday, May 16.<\/p>\nThe Kansas City Chiefs star, also 36, is believed to have purchased the sparkling suite from the late Hollywood icon that was worn by Swift, who matched it with a gold Maria Lucia Hohan Allar silk dress<\/a> in shimmering fabric with a cut-out waist for the elegant evening.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\nTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce head to Honey’s cocktail bar in Brooklyn on May 16, 2026.

Swift’s jewelry, which also paired well with her matching gold Aquazzura Ari clutch and Aquazzura Tequila sandals<\/a> in rose gold for $1,635, included matching chandelier earrings, ring and bracelet all crafted from black opals and natural Australian crystal designed by Darlene De Sedle in 1999.<\/p>\nTaylor\u2019s opal jewelry was later sold as part of Christie\u2019s 2011 Collection of Elizabeth Taylor auction, and then sold for a second time by Fox Estate Jewelry via 1stDibs<\/a> in late 2025. The sale happened \u201cduring Christmas time,\u201d said jewelry dealer Adam Fox in an Instagram<\/a> video.<\/p>\n“On the majority of these online platforms, for higher-ticket items, somebody will reach out, ask questions. Sometimes they will try to negotiate, sometimes they won\u2019t. This just randomly sold,” he explained in the clip.<\/p>\n
Fox had an idea who might have purchased the set after he saw the “Elizabeth Taylor<\/a>” singer wearing the jewels, telling Page Six<\/a> that it was bought by a sports agent at the time, making him assume it was a gift from Kelce to Swift.<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Elizabeth](\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/lo\/mysterio\/api\/BAB8496DC680F673EB760BC7B29DBF9DFF9155FB9F2528A830B84E452EA28E64\/subgraphmysterio\/resizefit_w960_h640;quality_80;format_webp\/https:%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Faol_people_articles_471%2Fbf8493ba73f5b44467f016e9cc0dc3dc\"\/)

“I\u2019m just glad it went to somebody that actually appreciates it. I know Taylor Swift has a song about Elizabeth Taylor, and it all makes sense. It seems like it was bought with a lot of purpose; there was obviously a lot of thought put into this one,” he told the outlet.<\/p>\n
“And coming from somebody like Elizabeth Taylor and going to somebody who, among today\u2019s generation, is just as recognizable as Taylor was back then? I think that\u2019s very cool,” the jewelry dealer told the outlet.<\/p>\n
