The Eras Tour | RED section | Version 1

Ashish Sequin Tee – custom

If you were wondering why this outfit worked so seamlessly to mimic the high waisted shorts of the RED Era, it’s because Taylor’s red ombre bodysuit (worn underneath here) were designed perfectly to look like a regular pair of shorts. This is stage designing at its smartest because it makes the following quick change incredibly easy.

It’s also so heartwarming to see Taylor intentionally bring back the same designer of this original tee – and have fun with a cheeky self reference that there is, in fact, a lot going on at the moment.

Worn with: Gladys Tamez hat, Ashish bodysuit, and Christian Louboutin oxfords

The Eras Tour | RED section

Gladys Tamez custom

The L.A.-based milliner Gladys Tamez worked in collaboration to create a custom hat for Taylor’s use on the Eras Tour. The hat’s style appears to be a blend of a pork pie and 70s fedora.

In continuing an old tradition from the RED Tour, Taylor signs the underside of the hat’s brim to hand out to a lucky fan each night. The Gladys Tamez team confirmed to me that enough hats were made to last the whole tour.

The Eras Tour | Speak Now Section (“Enchanted”)

Nicole + Felicia Couture custom

This stunning ballgown is an architectural feat and gives us a very strong throwback to Taylor’s Valentino ballgown on the Speak Now Tour. I had a lot of discussions early on in the prediction phase of this tour whether Taylor would incorporate new costumes into her wardrobe or allude to previous iterations of her tours of eras past.

This was a very well executed mix.

You’ll also recognize this designer from the “I Bet You Think About Me” music video.

The Eras Tour | reputation Section

Roberto Cavalli custom

I audibly gasped when I first saw photos of this asymmetrical bodysuit. The red, black, and diamond beads are pure art but the way the snakes intertwine and cover her body like tendrils create beautiful movement across the entire garment. The way it only exposes half of her body also gives the visual of being enveloped and becoming one with the snake, while still exposing vulnerable parts of human flesh. To me, this speaks to the duality of reputation itself – an album that’s all about the interplay between perception and reality.

The one arm silhouette is also an artful and subtle nod to the original version of her opening bodysuit by Jessica Jones from the reputation Tour.

The Eras Tour | evermore Section

Etro custom

It’s of zero surprise to me that this ruffled, tie-front dress that Taylor wears for the evermore section on tour is by Etro. You’ll recall me specifically name checking them as a point of reference for the designs of her folkmore sections as part of my TSS Predictions post. The Grammy performance really was a key jumping off point to nailing the bohemian goddess cottagecore look worthy of these albums visuals.

The Eras Tour | Fearless section

Christian Louboutin custom (similar pictured)

I love that these boots feel like a stylization on her earlier beloved cowboy boots.

Similar to the opening outfit boots, these appear to be based on the ‘Cate’ silhouette with the same allover crystal strass effect.

The Eras Tour | Fearless Section

Roberto Cavalli custom

This is Taylor Swift at her most classic for the stage – a fringed, sparkly dress and boots. It doesn’t get more staple than that.

And I may or may not be emotional thinking about the longstanding history Taylor has forging iconic tour looks with this designer. You may recall the iconic opening look of the Speak Now Tour – also a gold fringe dress – was RC. A journey through the eras, indeed.

The Eras Tour | Lover section

Versace custom

In the world of tour costuming, Taylor is no stranger to an on stage quick change. Most of the time, she does it as if by a magic trick. One second she’s in one ensemble, the next in a blur of moving bodies or sleight of hand she’s in a different one. The Eras Tour employs this trick, but it also isn’t afraid to lean in to the simple change of outerwear.

For “The Man”, Taylor dons a completely custom bedazzled blazer which not only made my predictions very happy but serves as a seamless way to completely change an outfit and also visually tie in to the theme of the song being performed. The set transforms and the dancers don stuffy corporate suits and Taylor changes accordingly – albeit in a more glam fashion.

Christian Louboutin custom (similar pictured)

For a second tour in a row, Christian Louboutin will be the exclusive footwear provider for The Eras Tour. They previously custom made all of Taylor’s shoes on the reputation Tour so it’s no surprise that the relationship continues here.

These particular boots appear to be based on the ‘Eleanor Botta’ silhouette, rendered in an allover crystal strass.
