2014 Vanity Fair Oscar party | March 2, 2014

Julien MacDonald Fall 2008

Taylor took a dark, vampy turn at the Vanity Fair Oscar party last night in an off-the-runway Julien MacDonald floor-length sequined gown that featured mesh sleeves and back.

Worn with: Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, Emm Kuo clutch and Tamara Mellon heels

I personally love these sort of “wait until you see the back” sort of gowns where the front is modestly covered up and the back reveals all – as is the case with this Julien Macdonald gown. Which is surprising, since Julien isn’t known for skin-covering dresses, though it appears Taylor is definitely using the designer to transition into decidedly more sexy and mature pieces.

Which is why I’m proud of Taylor for stepping out of her comfort zone and trying on a more mature sultry, Hollywood starlet-esque look. The silhouette makes her look statuesque and for once the red lip and mani work in her favour here for a glam look.

The Weinstein Company Academy Award Party | March 1, 2014

Lorraine Schwartz jewelry

Green Lorraine Schwartz earrings and two round sparkling rings were Taylor’s choice jewelry pieces for the night. Sadly, those pretty jade earrings are at odds with her rings.

Even though the prescence of red is really what’s throwing me off here, I will say that I loved Lorrie Turk’s eye makeup on Taylor. I’m particularly a fan of that hit of light pearly shadow to brigthen her inner eye and her dewy foundation.

Worn with: Oscar de la Renta dress, Christian Louboutin clutch and Jimmy Choo sandals

Oscar de la Renta ‘Long Sleeve Lace Cocktail Dress’ – no longer available

Déja vu, much? Taylor made an appearance at the Weinstein Company pre-party for the Academy Awards that are set to air tonight in all-too familiar looking dress.

Worn with: Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, Christian Louboutin clutch and Jimmy Choo sandals 

You can shop a similar style for under $80 + read my thoughts by clicking through:

If you had a weird sense of “been there, done that” it may be because this OdlR lace dress bears a striking similarity to this Maria Lucia Hohan dress Taylor wore to the Grammy nominations concert in 2012 as well as this Dolce & Gabbana dress she wore to the One Chance press conference. Coincidentally, One Chance is the film that introduced Taylor into The Weinstein Company in the first place as her song “Sweeter Than Fiction” was a single for the movie.

I actually really like the dres itself. The directional, alternating diagonal panels is a fresher, more contemporary take on a classic piece like a lace dress.

I am, however, confused by the styling. A red lip/mani/pedi, a blush satin clutch and green earrings? They’re all pretty individually, but I’m not a fan of them all styled together. Perhaps if she had nixed the nail polish and red lip it would make more sense to me because I think that’s what’s throwing me off.

That Awkward Moment after-party | January 27, 2014

Reformation ‘Storm Skirt’ – $138.00

Following her win-less night at the Grammys, Taylor was all smiles making a nondescript appearance at the after-party for good friend Zac Efron’s movie That Awkward Moment.

Wearing all-black, Taylor was snapped with her other friend Jessica Szohr in this recycled a-line Reformation skirt – recognizable only by its slits at the hemline.

Also worn: Out antique shopping

Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Party | Los Angeles, CA | January 25, 2014

Zuhair Murad Resort 2013

Worn with: Bionda Castana heels and Lorraine Schwartz and Ofira jewelry

If you needed a casual reminder that Taylor Swift does – in fact – have legs that could go for days then you’re clearly not paying attention.

Legs aside, I unfortunately have to admit that the model wears the dress to far more sophisticated results than Taylor. As interesting as her Bionda platforms are, the strappy and undeniably sexy sandals from the lookbook are far more intriguing.

However, it’s that cinched bow belt that I’m really missing here. Especially if you consider the bow from those aforementioned ankle-tie heels that would match it perfectly. That, and the fact that I can’t quite get over the weird flounced skirt on either Taylor or the model.

Had this been one of Taylor’s body-con dresses like the floral Zuhair Murad dress she wore to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show or a mini fit-and-flare I would be more behind it. As is, I’m more focused on her amazing legs here and for the gown she’s due to wear tomorrow night at the awards ceremony.

What did you think of the dress, TSS-ers?
