Critically Kind takes on Taylor's fashion
2014 Vanity Fair Oscar Party | March 2, 2014
Emm Kuo ‘Abrolhos Minaudière Clutch’
Without a doubt the coolest part of her ensemble from last night, I fell in love with the hammered silver contrasted against the wooden panels on this Emm Kuo clutch Taylor carried on the red carpet. A really chic, admirable change up from her usual style.
Worn with: Julien MacDonald gown, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Tamara Mellon heels
Also worn: 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards

Lorraine Schwartz earrings and ring
Unsurprisingly, Taylor was decked out for the night by her favourite jeweler Lorraine Schwartz.
While I’m kind of iffy on those bullseye-esque double-drop earrings, that ruby cocktail ring is undeniably stunning and really makes the dark vampy red lip and mani work for the look.

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.

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
