Stella McCartney ‘Rectangular Sunglasses’ - $310.00
Stella McCartney 'Frayme Medium S-Wave Flap Shoulder Bag’ - $1,530.00
Simkhai 'Pandora Embellished Skirt’ - $390.00
Chanel 'Back to College Loafer’ - $1,350.00
This skirt, when paired with a very closely matched top (getting shades of black to match is so hard), gives the appearance of a dress when it is actually sneaky separates.
Taylor has rocked many all black ensembles over the years and it’s always been the chicest complement to her red lip.
The repeated motif of chains here could certainly have a more symbolic read, but I like it purely as a styling detail that keeps the outfit cohesive but distinct.
Taylor has long been a lover of a loafer and worn many over the years. Leather, suede, heeled. The choice to wear Chanel, on the other hand, is more unfamiliar territory. She’s worn the French house often enough when styled for photoshoots, but rarely in her street style. I can actually only think of two Chanel footwear instances in all my years documenting her fashion. A pair of black leather oxfords (worn multiple times in 2012 - it has its own dedicated tag here) and one pair of cap toe bow heel pumps (December 2014).

Out to dinner w/ Jack Antonoff | New York City, NY | April 11, 2023
The Row ‘Grais Ribbed Virgin Wool Knit Top’ - $1,115.00
Paco Rabanne '1969 Moon Bag’ - $1,600.00
Area 'Embellished Cut Out High Rise Jeans’ - $673.00
Sam Edelman 'Jildie Mary Jane Sling Back Heel’ - $139.95
The post-breakup pap walk is a film we’ve seen before in the fandom - but it’s never looked quite this cute. It’s easy for your eye to flit around on this outfit - black and blue denim is a reliable classic that feels easy and simple, but it’s given a hot girl twist. The interplay of silver metallics between her chainmail bag and the butterfly embellished details (and yes, that necklace) (which no, I can’t confirm at the moment) on her jeans also keep a nice repeating motif that makes the outfit flow.
While we’re out here dressing for revenge, this feels like Taylors own take on Di’s precedent thanks to the subtle curvature of the top’s neckline (it’s not just a v neck!). And yes, scene-stealing jewelry included.
The mary jane silhouette feels like a callback to signature Taylor style - she’s long favoured a chunky heeled silhouette like these in the form of an oxford or platform shoe.
Perhaps this is penance for not getting to see the full picture of her Area cut out pants from her previous SNL performance but whatever made it happen - I’m glad it did.
There’s something to me that feels highly symbolic of the butterfly here, not just in its nod to Lover, but of its original concept of rebirth and renewal. If there’s one thing Taylor has done over her career, it’s perfected coming back. Whether that’s from the dead or stronger than a 90s trend.

Leaving State Farm Stadium | Glendale, AZ | March 18, 2023
Brandy Melville ‘Veena Sweater’ - no longer available
This sweater was quite the blast from the past - I love continuing to see it in rotation in her closet. We last saw the burgundy version December 2019.
Since 2015, Taylor has worn this sweater in: black, green, gray, and a New York emblazoned version.

The Eras Tour | folklore Section | Version 3
Alberta Ferretti custom
Splitting the difference between her two previous Alberta Ferretti dresses, this chantilly lace confection combines the saturated mauve from Glendale 1 with the split sleeve cape-like detail of Glendale 2 into this dusty rose chiffon gown for Las Vegas 1. The lace detailing here feels antique and old world in the best way while the light fabric feels just ethereal and lovely - so fitting of folklore.

The Eras Tour | folklore section | Version 2
Alberta Ferretti custom
Well we are certainly in for quite a ride with this tour if Taylor plans to continue to serve fresh versions of her looks. On Night 2 of Glendale, AZ Taylor switched up her goddess gown for her folklore set to this tiered, cream gown. The split sleeve details feel almost capelike, which I love. the flutter cap sleeve also feels simultaneously dainty and armour-like.
I think this could have made a stronger impact in a different colour.

Christian Louboutin custom (similar pictured)
I love that these boots feel like a stylization on her earlier beloved cowboy boots.
Similar to the opening outfit boots, these appear to be based on the ‘Cate’ silhouette with the same allover crystal strass effect.

Grammys After Party | February 5, 2023
Etro ‘Sequin Embellished Dress’ - $5,620.00
What a delightful after party dress that has all the things you want: Shine, glitz, and a fringey skirt for movement. Don’t get me started on that bright colour pop.

Giuseppe Zanotti ‘Betty Platform Sandals’ - $523.00
We just barely got a peek at Taylor’s platform Giuseppes last night, which were custom dyed to coordinate with her Roberto Cavalli two piece. That subtle folklore reference!
Worn with: Roberto Cavalli custom ensemble and Lorraine Schwartz earrings + rings

Performing at The 1975 | London, England | January 12, 2023
Christian Louboutin ‘Yazefine Platform Metallic Embellished Sandal’ - $2,495.00
A deceptive pair of Louboutins that are usually so distinctive by its red sole. This pair is from the Fall/Winter 2022 collection and instead of the typical red backing you would see on the platform heel, I like that the motif was relaxed here to emphasize the really intricate, almost fairylike, textured embellishments on the heel.
Worn with: Paco Rabanne dress

Paco Rabanne ‘Paillette Chainmail Sparkle Dress’ - $3,950.00
Who would have thought the first performance of the Midnights era would come at a The 1975 concert?
This is a classic Taylor performance outfit. Short, flirty, with a ton of sparkle to catch the stage lights. The chunky paillettes also feel like an in-line nod to the 70s style she’s been sporting lately and is a glammed up disco version of that.

Brunello Cucinelli ‘Linen and Silk Tweed Miniskirt’ - $1,595.00
I love this very cozy combination of oversized sweater and check skirt - but it strikes an interesting juxtaposition for the interview given Martin McDonagh’s sharper suit. It’s a very Taylor outfit (check the burgundy loafers in the full body shot) that plays with layering, interesting colour combinations, and schoolgirl accents (which checks the boxes for a lot of her street style moments) - but a chic trouser set would not have been unwelcomed by me for this particular occasion.
As an aside, whether intentional or not, the smart navy colour story between the two of them interplays nicely on screen as they go back and forth talking about their craft (Aside on the aside: I could listen to Taylor talk about her creative passions for hours!).
