Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2023 Couture

I’m personally always going to advocate for experimental looks in fashion. Or should I say FASHUN. Taylor has had moments over the course of her career where she’s stepped outside her norm to play and to try something on that is unexpected, but interesting. That is the beauty of fashion – in the play. And Alexandre Vauthier is an excellent designer to select for a look that’s alluring and fashion-forward. As this jumpsuit from the SS2023 Couture runway is.

It’s in Taylor’s lane from a wattage standpoint, but unexpected in terms of edge and silhouette. Taylor is typically agnostic to trends but it’s fun to see her flirt with the in-vogue hooded style, especially as we’ve seen her wear a few capes now across multiple music videos (“willow”, “Bejeweled”). Under the stage lights, the dark sequins look magnetic and Midnights-appropriate to me. Dark, complicated, moody – but with an undeniable starry shimmer.

I completely understand why she skipped the red carpet (fresh off a tour weekend I don’t blame her), but I have a feeling perhaps some minds would be changed on this look if seen packaged in a power stance on the red carpet. Part of styling of a look is not just in the fit of the garment and the accessories chosen to complement it – but also in the context and the physical embodiment of selling the look. This moment was mostly seen from the angle of Taylor seated, behind a podium, or posing to the side in friendly hugs with peers backstage. None of which I think put this sequinned jumpsuit in the best light – pun intended.

In terms of actual styling, the straight hair was the right call to coincide with the allover sleek and sharp outline of the jumpsuit. But a graphic liner or a smoked out eye and stronger lip I think could have leaned more into the futuristic edgy energy presented.

All in, I am always going to support any look that elicits varied responses and emotions. That is what makes fashion interesting and, for me at least, keeps me around.

Worn with: KatKim earring and KatKim + Anita Ko + Fernando Jorge jewelry

Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2013 Couture – no listing available

I woke up this morning and quite frankly stopped breathing.

There is absolutely nothing I would change.

The makeup, the hair, the accessories, those perfectly minimalist shoes, the choker, the plunging neckline, the thigh slit. Taylor in this gorgeous “vintage” Alexandre Vauthier couture gown (a designer I have been dying to see her in on the red carpet) is – down to every last detail – a freaking dream.

Bravo, Joseph. This one is for Taylor’s fashion hall of fame and it will be seen in my 2016 Favourite Outfits list.

In many ways this look actually reminds me of her 2013 BRITs ensemble – but even better.

Worn with: Lorraine Schwartz ring, Jimmy Choo clutch and Giuseppe Zanotti sandals

Do you dare? Try these similar plunging gowns for your next event:

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
