The Row ‘Grais Ribbed Virgin Wool Knit Top’ – $1,115.00
Paco Rabanne ‘1969 Moon Bag’ – $1,600.00
Area ‘Embellished Cut Out High Rise Jeans’ – $673.00
Sam Edelman ‘Jildie Mary Jane Sling Back Heel’ – $139.95

The post-breakup pap walk is a film we’ve seen before in the fandom – but it’s never looked quite this cute. It’s easy for your eye to flit around on this outfit – black and blue denim is a reliable classic that feels easy and simple, but it’s given a hot girl twist. The interplay of silver metallics between her chainmail bag and the butterfly embellished details (and yes, that necklace) (which no, I can’t confirm at the moment) on her jeans also keep a nice repeating motif that makes the outfit flow.

While we’re out here dressing for revenge, this feels like Taylors own take on Di’s precedent thanks to the subtle curvature of the top’s neckline (it’s not just a v neck!). And yes, scene-stealing jewelry included.

The mary jane silhouette feels like a callback to signature Taylor style – she’s long favoured a chunky heeled silhouette like these in the form of an oxford or platform shoe.

Perhaps this is penance for not getting to see the full picture of her Area cut out pants from her previous SNL performance but whatever made it happen – I’m glad it did.

There’s something to me that feels highly symbolic of the butterfly here, not just in its nod to Lover, but of its original concept of rebirth and renewal. If there’s one thing Taylor has done over her career, it’s perfected coming back. Whether that’s from the dead or stronger than a 90s trend.

Brandy Melville ‘Veena Sweater’ – no longer available

This sweater was quite the blast from the past – I love continuing to see it in rotation in her closet. We last saw the burgundy version December 2019.

Since 2015, Taylor has worn this sweater in: blackgreengray, and a New York emblazoned version

Get the look: Ardene, $11.45

Calzedonia ‘Honeycomb Motif Eco Tights’ – $18.00

Taylor has long loved a subtle design on her tights as a little added pattern ‘oomph’ to her outfit. I was actually immediately reminded of two past instances where she’s paired a plaid skirt with designed tights.

The first back in December 2014 and the other more recently last October.

Worn with: Ralph Lauren bag and Aritzia skirt

Ralph Lauren ‘Tremont Leather Cross-Body’ – no longer available

It brings me indescribable joy to continue to see Taylor continue to carry this bag. It’s one of the oldest in her collection and debuted back in October 2010. It recently resurfaced in candids from this past June but any glimpse of it is so exciting!

Worn with: Aritzia skirt

Check out the multiple times Taylor has toted this bag here.

Stella McCartney ‘Single Breasted Oversize Blazer’ – $1,495.00

Taylor is really gravitating towards boxier/oversized silhouettes these days. With a pair of wide leg pants like these, I think either committing to an intentionally oversized/baggy look is very on trend as of late.

My personal preference would be to offset a wide leg trouser like this with a more tailored blazer – but I’m also not one to look a gift blazer in the mouth.

Worn with: Etro bag and Prada loafers

Get the look: Aqua, $70.80

Prada ‘Chocolate Flow Block Heel Loafers’ – $1,250.00

Taylor has long loved a pair of heeled loafers or oxfords. In past years, she may have paired them with tights and a cute dress in the fall. Nowadays, her new admiration for blazers and trousers feels more up my alley, sartorially. And I’m obsessed with that growth.

Worn with: Etro bag

Etro ‘Adjustable Strap Satchel’ – no longer available

What a nice throwback to see this purse back in Taylor’s rotation! Taylor is a serial purse repeater and loves bringing back throwbacks or carrying a certain bag for months at a time. We last saw this particular Etro bag in October 2019 but it first made its debut back in July 2016.
