Taylor Swift Style – 2016 Grammys

Alright. Here we go. I swear, with each passing awards ceremony I try to cut it closer and closer with these predictions.

The
even-yeared Grammys for Taylor usually signify the beginning cusp of a
new aesthetic for the coming era. But with TS6 being an uncertain
release for the fall of this year, I wasn’t sure what theme to go with.

What immediately struck me, however, was sharp tailoring and a more mature style.

So here we go!

• Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2016
  I
  couldn’t shake the idea of Taylor potentially wearing something more
  tailored, sexy, and mature. I found that completely encapsulated in this
  v-neck jumpsuit by Alexandre Vauthier. The belting around the waist
  sealed it for me.
  I’d love to see this styled with a serious smoky eye and a pair of Sophia Webster wing heels.
• Versace Spring 2016
  The idea of Taylor wearing a pared down suit to the red carpet has come to me before. Particularly in the form of this red Alexandre Vauthier suit
  I predicted for the Brits last year that still to this day I cannot get
  out of my mind. This military green shade of green with a bandeau would
  make such a statement I don’t know what I’d do with myself.
  Styled with slicked back hair, a thin body chain and gorgeous earrings would be the finishing touches.
• Bibhu Mohapatra Spring 2016
  I
  hemmed and hawed over this slot for about … a few hours. Quite
  literally as I am typing this up, I just switched this dress so talk
  about last minute. What originally took up space here was this J. Mendel Spring 2016 flowy piece.
  But my desire to choose something more mature over something “expected”
  won out over wanting to provide a more palatable option to you TSS-ers.
  
  I picked this gown because of its simplicity, because of its
  colour, and because I think it could symbolize a new mature beginning.
• Marc Jacobs Spring 2016
  I can’t get over how fierce this gown is. I love the colour, the flow, how amazing Taylor’s legs would look in it and how different it is from anything she’s ever worn. It’s like a fairy princess that tore her way through a thorny forest and all that remains of her dress is this deconstructed sheer navy gown.

My other runners-up for the evening include this white Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2016 gown (I just love the subtle skin-baring detail at the torso), this Spring 2016 Bibhu Mohapatra gown with an interesting neckline, and this lovely and haunting Vionnet Spring 2016 black gown.

What do you think of my choices, TSS-ers? Do you have a favourite, or do you have another designer you think Taylor will wear on Monday night?

— Veering completely left, instead of an elegant design as many of you thought my choices should have reflected, Taylor wore a hot pink and orange two-piece by Atelier Versace.
