Etro Custom Gown (pictured similar)

Taylor’s beautiful rich performance gown for her folklore/evermore medley at the 2021 Grammys is a custom fil coupé chiffon gown with paisley motifs and lace ruffles by Etro. 

Truthfully my very first gut instinct upon seeing Taylor was: “How Florence Welch!”. This is definitely a dreamy boho gown I could see Florence rocking during a concert and I think it speaks beautifully to the music videos we’ve so far seen from the folkmore era. 

The addition of the headpiece also neatly points to both the “willow” music video and the Fearless era, don’t you think? 

Worn with: Cathy Waterman necklace + earrings and Art Tribute guitar strap

Christian Louboutin ‘Rose Amelie Ankle Wrap Sandal’ – $995.00

If you know anything about me it’s that 

1. I love green 

2. I love a good ankle strap heel moment 

I’ve long said that Taylor should take advantage of opportunities to up her shoe game from the more classic/expected silver or gold metallic sandals she usually favours on red carpets so I was absolutely delighted by this romantic and girly choice in shoe that complements her dress perfectly. 

One thing I will say about a short hemline is that it gives the shoe a chance to shine and these are an excellent styling choice that I love. If there’s anything more fun than an ankle strap moment it’s a BOW ankle strap moment. 

As an aside, it’s nice that Taylor’s Glam Squad got to reunite at long last for a red carpet outing and that Jemma (Taylor’s hairstylist) got to create a hair lewk that very much honoured the space buns Taylor self-styled for the folklore album cover. I thought that was a nice touch to continue the album’s established visuals.

63rd Annual Grammy Awards | Los Angeles, CA | March 14, 2021

Oscar de la Renta ‘Floral Embroidered Tulle Mini Dress’ – $8,990.00

While none of my predictions included a mini (I definitely had an elegant full-length gown in mind for this big night), I did accurately predict the brand so I’ll take a partial win for that. 

My predictions also noted that there was a possibility for the ‘fit to reference Lover, and I definitely think this lush floral dress would not have been out of place during that time. Taylor looks like she walked out of a flower field and the petal pink soft makeup is the perfect complement. 

It’s romantic, it’s whimsical, and while being colourful it still somehow neatly bridges Lover to folklore in a very lovely way. The changes made to it from the original runway presentation include floaty cuffs and a slightly longer hem. 

I could easily see this dress being worn to the AMAs (where Taylor has a stronger history of wearing minis), so while I’m still mentally attached to the concept of a long, elegant and impactful gown, this short and sweet mini as-is is very beautiful and also notably is an appropriate choice given the timeshift of the awards ceremony to be situated more in the springtime.
