Jimmy Choo x Jean Paul Gaultier ‘Leather Wedge Pumps’ – $2,450.00

One of Taylor’s go-to heel brands is Jimmy Choo so opting for this brand doesn’t necessarily come as a surprise, but what does is the bolder choice to go with this limited edition shoe co-designed with JPG.

The design takes what’s otherwise a regular pointed black pump and gives it a twist with a plexi wedge heel – modernizing the stiletto and also giving it an artistic form.

The pointed toe is also not typically something that Taylor opts for, but its elongated silhouette once again (to me) calls back to that Miss Americana red carpet outing where she also (again, rare occasion) opted for pointed toe boots. Given that in the last week we’ve seen multiple high profile business accomplishments in the press by Taylor (highest grossing tour by Billboard, Most Intriguing Person by People, 5th most powerful woman in the world by Forbes), it doesn’t feel like a stretch to me that she’d be revelling in a shoe that feels more powerful by extension and business-y.

Another fun fact? The wedge was designed to reference the “iconic architectural landmarks of the two brands’ home cities: Paris with the Tour Eiffel and London with Big Ben asymmetrically encased inside each heel.” An interesting homage.

Worn with: Stella McCartney coat and skirt, VRAI + Jacquie Aiche + Louis Vuitton jewelry, and Sheertex tights

Jean Paul Gaultier ‘Fleurs Petit Grand Print Mesh Top’ – $320.00

JPG is well known for their figure forming mesh pieces. I am well known for my love of Taylor wearing green. In this particular instance, I think we all could have done a bit better.

One of their most memorable being their horizontal stripe illusion motif that recurs as a mainstay in their designs spanning decades. This particular top is from the French brand’s Summer 2023 collection titled ‘Flowers’ – drawing inspiration from its 2000s archives.

In theory, the decision to style simply here with a black skirt and boots was the right call but I think a full tuck of the shirt and a more streamlined, taller pair of boots would have made a huge difference.

Worn with: Maria Tash earrings, Alessandra Camilla Milano earrings, Balenciaga corset, Roger Vivier bag, Khaite skirt, and Louis Vuitton boots

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2015 Couture

I’m loving the pictures that Elle decided to include in the actual published spread. They’re decidedly more vamped up and sexy than the first few images that were released. 

Including this ripped-from-the-runway couture outfit.
