Taylor Swifthas always had a way of making even the simplest silhouettes feel intentional, and her latest appearance for NYT Magazine is no exception. Without leaning into anything overly dramatic, the look captures a sense of quiet confidence — one that feels effortless but is still planned. It is the kind of styling that doesn’t try too hard, yet it manages to leave a lasting impression.

Taylor Swift’s plunging lace cami top from Gwyn is held up by just 2 strings for NYT Magazine

At the center ofTaylor Swift‘s look was a delicate black lace cami top from Gwyn, priced at $565. The piece stood out for its barely-there construction, held up by just two thin straps that framed the shoulders with subtle precision. The soft lace detailing around the borders added texture without overwhelming the outfit, allowing it to remain light and understated. There was a certain balance here. The top felt minimal, yet it carried enough detail to stand out.

Swift paired the cami with a fluid, Alyse asymmetrical skirt from Kallmeyer New York. Priced at $895, the skirt moved with ease, creating a natural flow through the silhouette. The contrast between the structured delicacy of the top and the relaxed drape of the skirt worked seamlessly. It’s not about sharp tailoring or bold statements. Instead, the look leaned into softness and movement.

Accessories remained minimal but effective. A stack of delicate gold pendants added just the right amount of shine. Swift was also seen wearing gold bracelets and rings that tied everything together. She opted for the Row’s black strappy heels that kept the overall aesthetic clean and refined. Her hair, swept to one side, further enhanced the straight line of the outfit.

What made this outfit stand out was its restraint. In a space where fashion often pushes for louder statements, Swift’s choice felt grounded and intentional. It is a reminder that sometimes, simplicity, when done right, can be the most impactful statement of all.

The president of the Palestinian football federation Jibril Rajoub refused ​to stand alongside Israel FA Vice-President Basim Sheikh Suliman in a heated moment at theFifaCongress on Thursday.

Both men were called to the stand by Fifa PresidentGianni Infantino, but Rajoub declined to be brought closer to Arab-Israeli Suliman.

Infantino put ⁠his hand on Rajoub's arm and invited him with a gesture to come closer to Suliman, but in vain.

Asked what Rajoub said when he refused, Palestinian FA Vice-President Susan Shalabi, who was in the room, toldReuters: “I cannot shake the hand of someone the Israelis have brought to whitewash their fascism and ⁠genocide. We are suffering.”

Israel has denied committing genocide ​in ⁠Gaza.

Infantino then took the stand and said: “We will work together, President Rajoub, Vice-President Suliman. Let's work together to give hope to the children. These are complex ⁠matters.”

Speaking toReutersafter the Congress ended, Shalabi said Infantino's attempt to have Suliman and ​Rajoub ⁠shake hands showed little consideration for ‌the Palestinian FA chief's speech, in which he made yet another plea for Israeli clubs not to base teams in theWest Banksettlements.

She said: “To be put in a position where to ‌have a handshake after everything that was said, this ‌negates the whole purpose of the speech that the general (Rajoub) was giving.

“He spent like 15 minutes trying to explain to everyone how the rules matter, how this could easily become a precedent where the rights of ⁠member associations are violated with impudence, and then we'll just wrap this under the carpet. It was absurd.”

Rajoub said: "From my side, I still respect and follow the legal procedure but I think it’s time to understand that Israel should be sanctioned. The double standard policy should stop.

"I refused to shake hands. Sport is sport… for me that should be respected, but if the other ⁠side is representing a criminal like Bibi (Benjamin Netanyahu) and speaking on behalf of Bibi as if Bibi is Mother Teresa, how can I shake hands or have a photo with such a man?

"I think Gianni has the right to try to bridge gaps and bring people together but I think maybe he does not understand or does not know the deep suffering of the Palestinian people."

Last week, the PFA appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport against Fifa's decision not to sanction Israel over clubs based in West Bank settlements.

The PFA has long argued that clubs based in settlements in the West Bank – territory Palestinians seek as part of a future state – should not compete in leagues run by the Israel Football Association.

Fifa said last ‌month it would take no action against the IFA or Israeli clubs, citing ​the unresolved legal status of the West Bank under public international law.

As ‌they were leaving the Vancouver Convention Centre, ⁠Rajoub and Shalabi were targeted by protesters who were demanding that FIFA should ban ⁠Iran from the World Cup on the grounds that the team, they say, represent the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

“Does ‌that convince you that you ​have to support IRGC... because you're having a ‌problem with Israel,” one protester asked Rajoub.

“We're ​not supporting anyone, we just want the support of the international community,” Rajoub said.

A statue rumored to be aBanksy art pieceappeared in central London this week. Now, the artist is confirming it was his idea.

The British graffiti artist's representatives told USA TODAY the elusive artist is behind the work. Banksy's signature was seen at the bottom of the statue when it was unveiled in the early hours of Wednesday, April 29.

The statue depicts a man striding atop a pillar, holding a large, flowing flag that covers his face. The artwork is positioned on a traffic island in Pall Mall, in Westminster, one of London's most prestigious areas.

The artist wanted to display the artwork there because he said, "There was a bit of a gap," according to representatives.

The statue is near other monuments in the area, including the Crimean War Memorial, and statues of Florence Nightingale, Edward VII and King George III.

Who is Banksy?

Banksy has been famous for displaying or erecting artwork in public spaces. Many of his pieces are street artworks that have popped up around the United Kingdom.

While his identity is widely unknown,Reutersrecently published an investigation determining that the artist is Robin Gunningham, a Bristol man.

According toprevious USA TODAY reporting, Banksy first became famous in the early 1990s, when his artwork appeared spray-painted on walls and trains.

His work often serves as commentary on polarizing issues, including migration, militarism, politics and capitalism. In 2018, the artist's painting "Girl with Balloon” famously shredded itself at auction after being sold for $1.4 million.

Banksy makes little from public sales of his works at auction houses, according to previousUSA TODAY reporting. Still, he's considered a multimillionaire from the discreet sales of original works to private collectors.
