TAYLOR SWIFT STYLE – 2021 MTV VMA PREDICTIONS

Another year, another music awards show passes us by with uncertainty as to whether Taylor will attend or not.

Regardless, Taylor is nominated for some of the biggest awards of the night including Artist of the Year and Pop Video of the Year.

The typical trend at a fun music awards show like this that lacks the prestige and pomp of, say, the Grammys is something short and sexy or at least edgy and interesting. Gowns are not the typical garb and typically the tackier the better is the name of the game.

Bearing that in your consideration, my predictions are below.

• Lanvin Resort 2022
  – I think this may be my favourite of the four. It feels slightly futuristic with the glitch-in-the-matrix warping of the print around the bodice as well as the short hem-length feels perfect for the MTV VMAs. If it were up to me, some kind of contrasting graphic eyeliner in a mint or highlighter yellow, a sleek low pony, some kind of geometric ear cuff, and equally bright strappy sandals would be my styling suggestions.
• Roland Mouret Fall 2021
  – Listen we had Fearless (Taylor’s Version) come out this year and Taylor managed to connect those dots enough to recently wear a yellow dress that sold out within hours of being identified. So I don’t think it’s too far of a stretch for her to wear yellow – especially as it’s a colour she hasn’t worn to this particular awards show in her history of attendance. This jumpsuit also feels sharp and, well, nearly tailored to a 31-year-old woman but that cheery colour works well for the season and energy of the event. Plus also Blondes In Yellow™, naturally. A juicy coral lip and maybe a few gold bangles feel like all she would need to finish this look off.
• Gucci Resort 2022
  – Separated from the concept of era styling (let’s remind ourselves that Taylor didn’t wear red for every red carpet appearance during RED [2012]) this rainbow sequin skirt feels like exactly like the kind of frivolity and party and fun that the MTV VMAs are meant to encapsulate. It also adds in a little bit of sultry elegance with the lace bodice. Should Taylor wear it, she’d obviously forgo the matching gloves. A pair of strappy shiny red sandals like these would be great to tie in to some of the paillettes of the skirt.
• Alaïa Spring 2022
  – Speaking of red and also colours Taylor has never worn on the MTV VMA red carpet, is this textured side-tie crimson snakeskin textured ensemble. The reference to both RED and 1989 is fun and evokes full Swiftian Clown Energy. I’d love to see this with mussed, tousled beach waves, smudged winged liner and a red lip stain.

Do you think Taylor will attend the MTV VMAs on September 12? If so, who do you hope she’ll wear?
