She's reportedly dumped her beau Tom Hiddleston. Hiddleswift is no more! But Tayler was looking as happy as ever as she stepped out here in New York - she clearly doesn't need a man by her side!

Sadly these exact gym tights are now sold out, but click right to shop a similar pair by the brand.

Or get a printed pair in grey like Taylor's by shopping similar options in the line up below by the likes of Adidas, Reebok and more. You can then complete the look with her exact orange Nike trainers to which will add a cheeky colour pop to brighten up your workout wear.

At a glance | iPhone 7 rumours


No headphone jack 

Apple is expected to remove the 3.5mm headphone jack from the bottom of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus meaning users will have to switch to wireless or Lightning port headphones

Pressure-sensitive home button 
The new iPhone is said to have a pressure-sensitive home button that will sit flush to the face of the device with the TouchID sensor under the screen

  Dual-lens camera for iPhone 7 Plus
Apple is upgrading its cameras in both phones, with the iPhone 7 Plus getting an all-new dual-lens camera that could have the ability to film 4K video

  Two black models, one glossy
The phones will probably come in five colours with “space black” replacing “space grey” and the introduction of a new glossy black colour

Faster processor 
A new, faster chip called the A10 will power the 7 and 7 Plus. According to reports it could be twice as fast as the current A9 chip.

Ahead of the event, which starts at 6pm GMT, we will be bringing you the latest updates, as well as full coverage as it happens this evening. James Titcomb is on the ground in San Francisco and will be sending across news through the day. 


Auto update


Apple has just sent a rare tweet about tonight's "special event". The tantalising message is accompanied with an abstract video that fans have speculated looks a bit like lens flare, the slightly blurred bright spots that sometimes appear on pictures taken in low light. It could be a clue that some exciting iPhone photography developments are coming. 
The company updated its long-neglected Twitter account on Friday with the branding for tonight's "special event" before sending its first ever tweet. Strangely, when you visit Apple's Twitter profile there is no record of its tweets to be seen.

The most exciting rumoured features we're anticipating the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus to have include:
  • Much better camera - the  iPhone 7 will have a larger camera that will probably 12MP and perform better in low light, while the iPhone 7 Plus will have a dual-lens camera. They could both have an upgraded flash and ability to shoot 4K video
  • A faster processor - the phones are expected to run on a new A10 chip that could be 50 per cent faster than the current A9, with 3GB RAM and a 2.37GHZ processor 
  • Pressure-sensitive home button - Apple could replace the physical switch with a button that uses "3D Touch" technology, which will make the home screen one continuous smooth surface 


What could the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus look like? 

We're anticipating the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus to look fairly similar to their predecessors, the 6s and 6s Plus, if the consistent leaks from Apple experts and the supply chain are anything to go by. 
The only change to the front of the handsets will be to the home button, which is expected to be pressure-sensitive and sit flush to the screen.

On the back of the phones, Apple is said to have moved the antenna bands to the edge of the device, giving the handsets a cleaner look than the 6s and 6s Plus, while the larger cameras on the devices will sit closer to the top right hand corner of the phones, according to leaks.

What to expect 
Apple prepares to launch its new iPhone
Apple likes to maintain an aura of secrecy around its events, but thanks to a complex supply chain and a huge amount of interest, there are inevitably some leaks. 
In a nutshell, we're expecting Tim Cook to take to the stage of the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco to unveil the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus smartphones, and a new Apple Watch 2.
