MTV Europe Music Awards | Düsseldorf, Germany | November 13, 2022

David Koma ‘Plexi and Crystal Embroidery Polo Dress’ - $4,534.00

The polo look has been an ongoing motif for the Midnights era thus far. Mostly appearing on long sleeved knit sweaters or sometimes short sleeved ones in retro patterns. Here, the collared look gets a bedazzled upgrade for an awards night outing.

While the MTV Awards are typically a laidback affair I think this could also have served well for a late night talk show appearance. The updo also makes much more sense here so as not to compete with the collar of her dress.

Worn with: Jimmy Choo sandals

MTV Europe Music Awards | Düsseldorf, Germany | November 13, 2022

David Koma Fall 2022

My very first instinct was how very inspired this look feels from her “Bejeweled” music video moment. The black bodysuit-like base with an overlay of fabulous jewels inspired by the Koma AW2022 runway.

Voluminous waves or a low sleek pony I think would have made for a more svelte hair moment.

But the most important thing here, of course - if you’re TSS-minded is the fact that the red jewels inspired from the original runway have been instead rendered in a stunning emerald green. A win for TSS!

Worn with: Delfina Deletrrez rings and Giuseppe Zanotti heels

The Graham Norton Show | October 28, 2022

David Koma gown

Taylor’s black sleeveless column appears to borrow a print from the brand’s Resort 2023 collection. In terms of dressing for a seated televised interview moment, this feels like an improvement over her Jimmy Fallon appearance.

The black is subdued but the embellishments add just the right amount of elegant sparkle. The skimming silhouette of the gown extends all the way to the ankle to create a clean, fluid line. And the makeup and hair feels signature Taylor (red lip, cateye flick) but the long low pony is fresh and also allows her bare shoulders a moment to shine.

Love!

Worn with: Nick Horey earrings and Anita Ko ring

Leaving The Little Door restaurant | Los Angeles, CA | November 2, 2015

David Koma ‘Macrame Sleeve Cady Mini Dress’ - $1815.00

What a surprise! Taylor had a night out in Los Angeles and wore a slamming LBD with a twist via its macrame sleeves and neckline detail. 

I’m a fan of David Koma’s sporty-styled dresses so that’s an additional draw for this outfit for me. 

Taylor’s bodyguard was snapped carrying Taylor’s coat, by Burberry.

Worn with: Christian Louboutin clutch and Christian Louboutin heels

David Koma ‘Leather Panel Skirt’ - $1979.00

When I saw the price on this skirt I did a doubletake because I thought it was '1989’. 

I also apologize for the poor quality of the screencap, I’ll update if an HQ full-body shot comes along. 

Also how killer does Tay look in this leather crop top + skirt combo? 

Worn with: La Perla bralet and Hysteric Co. ring

This dress was pulled from David Koma’s S/S 2013 collection, off-the-runway.

Worn with: Jimmy Choo heels
