MTV Video Music Awards after party | September 12, 2023

EB Denim ‘Polka Dress’ – $480.00 $336.00

What an incredibly fun after party dress. It’s sassy, very short, and feels like another 90s throwback (who else remembers all the ultra #FASHUN denim styles that hit the red carpet then?). In some ways, I can actually see how this could have theoretically worked at the award show itself, with some tweaks. 

The addition of the red lip here does a great job signaling “party!” but I do wonder what a sleek ponytail would have done for the look.

Djula ‘You And Me Ring’ – €430.00
Cadar ‘Light Baguette Ring’ – $3,900.00
Cadar ‘Tu Psyche Ring’ – $5,900.00

Taylor’s team is particularly adept, in my opinion, at picking out standout jewelry to complement a look. My favourite here is that cocktail ring by Cadar which, again, mimics the shape of the sequins throughout the gown as well as the circular medallions in the chains around her shoulders.

Melis Goral ‘Citrine Diamond Earrings’ – $4,650.00

Taylor’s earrings appear to be based off a citrine ring design by Melis Goral jewelry from their ‘Reflections’ collection. I love the way the colour and shape of these earrings mirror those of the chains on her gown. Great tie-in.

As an aside? Her hair and makeup are stunning here.

Louis Vuitton custom gown

For Taylor’s appearance at TIFF, I was hedging bets as to whether she would show up in the business babe-adjacent attire that she has favoured when attending promotional events where she wants to underscore her title as director on the project … or leaning into the glam showgirl aesthetic that tentatively appears to be the defining factor of the upcoming Midnights era.

In making her appearance at TIFF in this very glam sequinned custom LV gown: I think we have our answer.

I love how the gold paillettes are very reminiscent and recognizable within Taylor’s style repertoire. The girl has yet to meet a sequin she doesn’t love. But the very elegant way the skirt falls (perfectly hemmed btw to just kiss the floor – so well done) combined with the draping chain details makes this feel like a classed up extension of her MTV VMA appearance that had very similar shoulder details. It’s also a very nice slideshow moment where we now have a Midnights-esque appearance in: Silver, a colour, and now gold.

The RED hair (those bangs! the sleek blowout!) gave me temporary whiplash wondering if this was an appearance from 2012 I had somehow missed also feels like a very prescient tie-in to the fact that the project she is promoting is for that very same re-recorded album.

All in all – well done. She looks great, she looks classy, she looks glam and it somehow hits the mark for both of the albums she’s promoting (RED TV and Midnights). And that is not easy to do!

Vrai ‘Marquise Ear Arc’ – $2,500.00
Vrai ‘Mixed Cuff Ring Baguette and Marquise’ – $850.00
Vrai ‘The Round Small’ – $690.00

Once again a huge fan of all of Taylor’s delicate gold jewelry pieces here. Tying in the shapes between her earrings and duo diamond ring keeps things cohesive but overall simple.
