Brian Atwood ‘Tribeca Leather Platform Sandals’ – $895.00 

I’m relieved to see we actually get a decent look at Taylor’s shoes for the night — a fierce metallic pair of Brian Atwood ankle-strap platforms. Silver over bronze would have been my pick.

Reem Acra Spring 2015

My first thought was: Wow it looks like her Azzaro and Kaufmanfranco dresses had a full-length lovechild. 

My second thought was: This is a rather underwhelming gown to wear for a milestone achievement award.

I guess perhaps I was hoping for something far grander than this minty cutout gown which marries parts of both of those aforementioned dresses. Something with a bit more drama and extravagance. Though perhaps it’s understandable she would want to be a bit more low-key at an event for a genre of music she no longer associates with. And the shade is nonetheless beautiful on her.

Still, this was a milestone achievement award she’s meant to receive and I think a little bit more flair should have been served up for tonight.

Taylor Swift Style – 2015 ACMs

Alright guys, how’s this for last minute? I always seem to think going into an awards ceremony that this will be the time I stop. But you guys love these posts and I can’t let you down! So here are some of my picks for Taylor’s gown at the ACMs tonight where she’s set to receive a major milestone award. 

My major predictions for the night: Ladylike, dramatic, full-length. As this will be a big evening for Taylor and she’s going to receive a prestigious major award, I don’t foresee any major cut outs or plunging necklines. Instead, I’m thinking ladylike elegance will be the theme for the evening. 

  • Badgley Mischka Spring 2015
    This one is actually leftover from the Grammys prediction post and was a fan submission I loved so much I decided to let it out for a second time. The cut is impeccable, the colour will flatter her skintone, hair and eyes like nothing else and those subtle cut-outs provide just a hint of sexy.
  • Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture
    Nothing says ladylike more than Elie Saab couture. When Taylor last wore Elie Saab couture to a country music awards show it was a symbolic goodbye to the genre that gave her her start. It wouldn’t surprise me that she would dovetail that moment with another couture gown — this one from the latest spring collection. This is one of the few that Cinderella actress Lily James didn’t get her hands on for her fabulous and Saab-filled promo tour. 
    Plus I love the way this dress drapes to almost make it seem like it’s a crop top over a high-waisted skirt — a subtle nod to her current favoured style. 
  • Christian Siriano Spring 2015
    When I think “dramatic” my first thought is usually Zac Posen. But on this occasion I couldn’t help but think of the huge ball gowns and form-fitting bodices that Christian Siriano has been delivering lately. Taylor would pull off this heavy look with ease. A midnight blue smoky eye and soft pink lips would suit this fine. 
  • Bibhu Mohapatra Spring 2015
    Okay. So. This is possibly my favourite. Though it’s highly unlikely Taylor would ever wear it, what I love about this gown is its combination of demure with its traditional, formal bodice combined with the futuristic party statement of the skirt. Slicked back hair or softly curled updo, coral lip and white manicure is what this needs. 

Runners-Up: 

  • This Jason Wu Spring 2015 gown was thisclose to being included in the list. It ultimately lost out to the Badgley Mischka above as it seems more likely for Taylor to go with something refined and classic to receive her huge award over a gown with a plunging neckline. But check out this colour! This is still something I’d love to see Taylor in but perhaps at a more “fun” and sexy awards show. 

What do you think of my choices, TSS-ers? Are there any other looks you can would rather see Taylor wear tonight at the ACMs?

— For the event, Taylor chose a Reem Acra gown, similar in colour to my predicted Badgley Mischka dress!
