2013 Met Costume Institute Gala | May 6, 2013
J. Mendel custom gown
As a guest of the designer and long-time wearer of the brand, Taylor unsurprisingly wore a J Mendel gown to tonight’s MET Costume Gala. What was surprising was how effectively Taylor took to the ‘PUNK: Chaos to Couture’ theme for tonight’s gala.
Vamped, teased up hair — I spy a super cute pink streak! — edgy cut outs with cobweb lace, smoky eyes and a dark mani all add up to a punked out look.
I’m really glad Taylor showed up to the event this year since she missed out in 2012 — her 2011 J Mendel look is still one of the most memorable in my mind!

This night’s theme, as the original caption states, was “Punk: Chaos to Couture”. I think the words I wrote seven (!!!) years ago still hold true here. The cute pink streak, darker eye makeup and manicure, gown cutouts and cobweb lace all create a darker look that’s still classically Taylor pretty. An underrated example of Taylor conforming well to the theme and still managing to look like herself.
