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.

I will always love a suited moment and I think there are so many fun aspects to this that I love. The black and white palette, the high neck of the top, and the general chevron pattern.

For a television moment, I feel like this print overload could come across as a bit dizzying and overwhelming. And sure, a simple swap of the top to a black one would have pared back the print overload enough. 

But I think she actually pulls off this print well – and it’s also so fun but with a slightly retro 70s nod with the power shoulder and flared shape of the pants. By creating a big block of pattern throughout her entire body that is almost overwhelming in its graphic overload – it actually forces you to look at her face for a respite. And I kind of love that in the craziness if you needed a second of calm for your eyes, that her face is where you need to rest to get it – especially because that high neckline stops just at her jaw.

Truthfully my only major complaint is that she should have quickly unbuttoned her jacket when going to sit down. Not just for a more comfortable seating experience for her, but also a cleaner line for still images.
