65th Annual Grammy Awards | Los Angeles, CA | February 5, 2023
Roberto Cavalli custom
Rather than look backward and pay homage to RED and its TV in honour of her SOTY nomination for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)”, Taylor went with a more Midnights-appropriate look at the Grammys.
This midnight navy colour is beautiful on Taylor – a hue she rarely wears. Combined with the starry night embellishments, the looks feels appropriate to the late night theme of Midnights. I think I could envision this as a gown with side cut outs and a slit – or with a completely open back. With the current silhouette, the reference to the co-ordinating sets and crop tops of the 1989 era immediately came to my mind.
I would have loved to have seen the hood (as pictured in the original Fausto Puglisi-designed sketch) but am not mad by its omission to instead commit to a high wattage, statement earring moment. Continuing to prove that styling can really make or break a look.
The slightly mussed, twisted bun was a nice way to counterbalance all the sharp lines of the ensemble. See those strong shoulders, the geometric earrings, the horizontal slice of her torso. An updo was definitely needed with that high neck but it was a great choice to give a little looseness and her makeup was so well-coordinated to the rest of the look.
