Midnights Mayhem with Me | October 5, 2022

Thanks Kelly!

Garland ‘70s Stroller Sweater Set’ - no longer available

One of the most hotly requested items from the Midnights era was Taylor’s outfit worn while cheekily announcing the title of the song “Karma”. I had long suspected that a lot of missing pieces were vintage - which this striped burnout ringer tank is! But not only is it vintage, it’s actually circa the 70s which has been a strong consistent aesthetic theme for Midnights.

Taylor has always loved vintage clothes (hello, RED [2012]). But for me this specificity and attention to detail feels very touching and fun. It reminds me of Taylor’s decision to source and only use instruments for “Carolina” that were made in the time period the book is set in.

Vintage sweater

I’ve unfortunately been under the suspicion that the two highly requested (and adorable) sweaters in the “Anti-Hero” music video were vintage. And sadly here’s one of the two confirmed as such!

Worn with: Cult Gaia pants

Michael Schmidt Studios custom ensemble

To create this look (a favourite of mine from the video), thousands of Swarovski crystals were placed and sewn by hand to a black base. Her knee-high boots also received the same treatment for a matching head-to-toe ‘bejeweled’ moment.

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

Catherine D'lish custom corset

When I saw that Dita would be credited in a music video, I didn’t have much context in mind as to how it would happen or the circumstances — but I did suspect that the burlesque legacy’s iconic martini routine would somehow come into play. And oh did it.

This embellished corset with the bobbed hair and oversized earrings and necklace were possibly my favourite look of the video.

Michael Schmidt Studios custom ensemble

Inspired by designer Erté, Michael Schmidt Studios created a custom burlesque ensemble for Taylor in the “Bejeweled” video. The designer was introduced to the concept by one of the video’s stars - Dita Von Teese, naturally. The design house once famously created a 3D-printed dress for Dita back in 2013.
