“Karma” music video | May 26, 2023

Azzi & Osta Spring/Summer 2023 Couture

For a song all about cheekily taking on the concept of fate, destiny, and celestial forces coming back to right past wrongs, it makes all the sense in the world that the video would open on a Grecian-inspired moment of Taylor in a glittering asymmetric gown.

From the drapery to the gathering on the left shoulder – it’s a beautiful modern reference to Themis – the goddess who personifies justice, divine order, and the balancing of the scales of life.

Worn with: Erickson Beamon earrings and Christian Louboutin sandals

The Eras Tour | evermore Section | Version 2

Etro custom

For those begging for a fresh version of the evermore dress (which is one of two ensembles from the tour that has yet to receive a variation) – you’ll be delighted to know a new Marco de Vincenzo for Etro gown was brought to life at MetLife Night 1.

I love that this burgundy fil coupé dress has ruffled tiers that still speak to the original version of the dress while still having its own original elements like a flowier empire waist. This version feels more appropriate to some of the witch-like woodsy elements of evermore (and, dare I say, a tinsel-like vibe that feels seasonally appropriate to “tis the damn season”?) perhaps better than the original version which leans more street style-friendly in comparison to her other costuming.

The Eras Tour | Speak Now Section (“Enchanted”) | Version 4

Elie Saab Fall 2020 Couture

The removal of the feathery appliqué as seen in the lookbook photos was totally the right call here. In terms of silhouette and graduating ‘starburst’ quality of appliqués from the torso this squared off neck and embellished design reminds me most of the V2 Zuhair Murad gown – but made much lighter and frothier and more similar to the original Speak Now Tour Valentino gown thanks to layers and layers of fluffy, ethereal tulle.

Of the four variations of the “Enchanted” dress we have seen, this also brings designer contributor to 2 of 4 with another pull from Elie Saab – a fashion house that Taylor has turned to for many red carpet looks over the years.

The Eras Tour | Lover Section | Version 3

Versace bodysuit

The colours and new ombré boots? 13/10.

The exaggerated fringe-y tassels? Less so.

But these Versace bodysuits are truly a work of art – just wish we had stopped while we were ahead.

The Eras Tour | Lover Section | Version 3

Versace ‘Crystal Butterflies Chain Necklace’ – $2,250.00

As is befitting of a new Lover bodysuit, Taylor accessorized with a new Versace necklace to match. This one, a co-design collaboration with Versace ambassador Dua Lipa.

I love the colours on this and its interplay with the purple embellishments on her Versace bodysuit. The butterfly motif is a classic nod to the heyday of Versace’s 90s supermodel era – while also referencing her recent #unbothered outing featuring an embellished butterfly on her jeans.

Aeyde ‘Nettie Sandals’ – $275.00

Coordinated neatly with her bag for a nice and complete tonal moment.

I love this outfit not only for its classically pretty lines and summery fabric (linen! eyelet!) but also what a visual respite it is. It allows the eye plenty of space and time to ‘rest’ between the coordinating white set that’s fresh and sweet but also by keeping the accessories tonally similar and very streamlined.

Ralph Lauren ‘Eyelet Linen Bustier’ – $248.00
Ralph Lauren ‘Eyelet Linen Midi Skirt’ – $498.00

Looking like a breezy breath of fresh air in eyelet linen. The matching set for Taylor has become synonymous with the 1989 era as that’s the time period when she really leaned in to the power and convenience of a co-ordinating crop top and skirt. The noticeable shifts here to present day include a longer length of skirt (her past self would have opted for a flippy skater-style mini) and minimalist flats (a teetering pair of 6” heels would have been her previous M.O. accessory).

I also love the choice of the sleek pony which contributes to the overall feeling of ‘freshness’.

Mansur Gavriel ’M Frame Box Bag’ – $895.00

This bag personally appeals to my more minimalist accessory preferences. This particular outfit also employs one of my favourite styling tactics which is ‘sandwich styling’ in the coordinating of purse to shoes to keep a consistent running neutral tone through a look.
