She finished off the look with red lipstick and a pair of large black shades as she snapped some selfies. 

The lookalike will have sent fans wild especially after the singer's appearance at private members' club Annabel's in Mayfair.

The singer hosted a lavish thank you party for her 200-strong tour team at on Tuesday night.

The hitmaker, 34, let her hair down with her crew and partied until 3am ahead of her final leg of the Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium.

She made sure the plush venue was kitted out with a free bar and organised six 52-seater coaches to transport people back to hotels around the city.

In pictures obtained by The Sun, Taylor channelled her inner Cher in a Clueless-inspired outfit for the night.

She stunned in a Vivienne Westwood chequered co-ord, teamed with a chic ruffled white shirt and lime green platform heels. 

A source told the publication: 'Taylor is one of the most generous pop stars out there and she threw this party to thank her team for their hard work.

The lookalike will surely be getting Swfities into the spirit as the capital gears up for the pop star's return after her shows in June

'She hired out Annabel’s for the night and put on a free bar so her team could let their hair down.

'They will be back hard at work tomorrow for the first night at Wembley. It was packed in Annabel’s as there were 200 of them there, but it was a great night. Everyone was so appreciative of Taylor’s efforts.'

Taylor returned back to London a day before her final leg of the London tour kicks off on Wednesday night.

The singer - who already had three shows in June - will be wrapping up this leg of her tour with five more gigs.

Her upcoming five Wembley concerts could see private counter-terrorism security forces deployed to keep thousands of fans safe, according to reports.

Sources claimed the pop star's shows will be relying on the extra security in response to the Vienna terror plot which caused her to cancel all three shows in the city last week.

The singer was due to perform in front of an estimated 170,000 fans on August 8, 9, and 10 at Ernst Happel Stadium in the Austrian capital, but was forced to cancel after the horrific attack was exposed.

It has since been confirmed that radicalized teens aged 17 and 19 – including an ISIS fanatic – had 'planned carnage with bomb, knives and vehicle attack on young fans.'

Now reports have emerged that Taylor will be using private counter-terrorism security forces to protect her fans due to the ongoing London riots placing a major strain on local police.
