Plaid’s nice: Taylor Swift, 27, looked ready to tackle the sights and sounds of London over the weekend as she continued to film her latest music video around the capitals hotspots
Her choice of oversized emerald green jacket overshadowed her lithe frame while she navigated the pavement in her black leather military-inspired boots.
Underneath her statement bomber, she wore a sequin embellished lightweight knit which hugged her slender torso which complemented her patterned mini skirt.
Showcasing her lean legs, she worked her trademark tresses into a messy half up ‘do while the rest of her tresses fell down her shoulders in a tousled style.
The American pop sensation accessorised her nineties grunge look with a sprinkling of rings and chains which drew attention to her vibrant red lip and dramatic smokey eye.
Having fun: She donned another ensemble as she rode around a big red bus for her new video

Aside from appearing on a big red bus, she playfully cycled on a black bike across The Millennium Bridge in front of St Paul’s Cathedral – where Prince Charles and Princess Diana married in 1981.
In another shot from the all night shoot, Taylor could be seen in an oversized plaid blazer which featured striking shoulder-pads.
Her check garment contrasted with her striped shirt while she larked about on the top deck of a red bus and sported a similar grungy beauty look while partying on the top deck of a double decker bus around Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square.
Taylor is well known for shooting glamorous and high production music videos like Look What You Made Me Do.
The pop star goes about slaying various public perceptions of herself in the explosive video, from upcoming album Reputation.

In a clear swipe at her critics, she poked fun at her ‘reputation’ as the serial monogamist, the heartless publicity hound, and the good girl in the darkly satirical video.
But most telling were her digs at ex Tom Hiddleston and frenemy Katy Perry along with some serious venom for Kim Kardashian.
Various hidden messages were clearly buried in the video, the first comes right at the beginning as a zombie version of Taylor claws her way out of a grave.
The tombstone next to hers bears the name of the pseudonym she used for a song she wrote for ex Calvin Harris, Nils Sjöberg.
At the time Calvin had denied his girlfriend Taylor had written his hit This is What You Came For, only for her authorship to be revealed after their relationship ended. Nils Sjöberg was the moniker she used to be listed in the songwriting credits.

In a break of form from past previous high-profile relationships, Taylor has put forth much effort in keeping her romance with Joe Alwyn quiet.
And it was reported in September that Taylor recently enjoyed a secret trip to the UK with her new beau last month, and they were able to keep their whereabouts under wraps because they stayed at the west London home of her pal Cara Delevingne.
A source told The Sun: ‘Taylor made the trip to England to spend time with Joe’s family and friends, and Cara offered to have them at her place in Chiswick. Obviously Taylor can stay at the world’s swankiest hotels but that’s not really her bag.
‘She’s trying to keep a low profile with Joe, and staying with Cara has let her do that. Instead of being stopped by fans for selfies, they’ve been able to come and go totally unnoticed.’
Added the source: ‘Things are getting serious between them, and Taylor wants to spend as much time getting to know Joe’s world as possible. They can’t get enough of each other.’
MailOnline had contacted a representative for Taylor Swift for comment.

The trip follows on from Joe’s reported trip to Nashville, Tennessee, earlier in the summer, where he is said to have met members of Taylor’s family.
Since quietly embarking on her romance with Joe late last year, the Love Story singer started spending a considerable amount of time in the UK, and was even said to have been renting a house in north London.
An insider told E! News that the pair are officially ‘exclusive’, since August. Since then, Taylor has believed to have been staying at her New York City apartment.
As she remained out of the public spotlight, a fan theory surfaced that she uses a large box to exit and enter her apartment building to avoid paparazzi.

Out of the spotlight: In a complete change from her previous relationships, Taylor has deliberately attempted to keep her romance with Joe out of the spotlight
The theory clearly is not quite as bizarre as it may first appear. Singing superstar Adele revealed in March that during her world tour, she was wheeled through her unsuspecting fans hidden in a sweaty box to get her on stage inconspicuously.
In a complete change from her previous relationships, Taylor has deliberately attempted to keep her romance with Joe out of the spotlight.
But that doesn’t mean Joe hasn’t been an inspiration – with fans speculating that he is the boy she sings about on her new track …Ready For It?.
Her lyrics include: ‘Knew he was a killer, first time that I saw him, wonder how many girls he had left haunted.’
She goes on: ‘Some boys are tryin’ too hard. He don’t try at all though. Younger than my exes but he act like such a man so I see nothing better, I keep him forever.’
Indeed Joe, 26, is younger than previous loves Tom, 36, and Calvin, 33, and made his movie debut as a solider in the 2016 film Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk.
Taylor was spotted filming part of her new music video in a North London kebab shop in the early hours – which pays tribute to her romance with Joe by featuring some of her favourite places to visit in the capital, including a kebab shop called Kentish Delight.
A source told The Sun: ‘The video shows Taylor on a night out. All of the locations are places she has been to with Joe. She has spent months quietly going under the radar in London this year and has been out a lot more than anybody realises.
‘It is quite telling that she has been hanging out in these regular and unexpected places. She wants to show people she is just a normal girl.’
