“Karma” music video | May 26, 2023

Azzi & Osta Spring/Summer 2023 Couture

For a song all about cheekily taking on the concept of fate, destiny, and celestial forces coming back to right past wrongs, it makes all the sense in the world that the video would open on a Grecian-inspired moment of Taylor in a glittering asymmetric gown.

From the drapery to the gathering on the left shoulder – it’s a beautiful modern reference to Themis – the goddess who personifies justice, divine order, and the balancing of the scales of life.

Aeyde ‘Nettie Sandals’ – $275.00

Coordinated neatly with her bag for a nice and complete tonal moment.

I love this outfit not only for its classically pretty lines and summery fabric (linen! eyelet!) but also what a visual respite it is. It allows the eye plenty of space and time to ‘rest’ between the coordinating white set that’s fresh and sweet but also by keeping the accessories tonally similar and very streamlined.

Worn with: Mansur Gavriel bag and Ralph Lauren top + skirt

Ralph Lauren ‘Eyelet Linen Bustier’ – $248.00
Ralph Lauren ‘Eyelet Linen Midi Skirt’ – $498.00

Looking like a breezy breath of fresh air in eyelet linen. The matching set for Taylor has become synonymous with the 1989 era as that’s the time period when she really leaned in to the power and convenience of a co-ordinating crop top and skirt. The noticeable shifts here to present day include a longer length of skirt (her past self would have opted for a flippy skater-style mini) and minimalist flats (a teetering pair of 6” heels would have been her previous M.O. accessory).

I also love the choice of the sleek pony which contributes to the overall feeling of ‘freshness’.

Mansur Gavriel ’M Frame Box Bag’ – $895.00

This bag personally appeals to my more minimalist accessory preferences. This particular outfit also employs one of my favourite styling tactics which is ‘sandwich styling’ in the coordinating of purse to shoes to keep a consistent running neutral tone through a look.

R13 ‘Gathered Hem Shirt’ – $450.00

I love a crisp white button down. If you saw my stories, you already noted the similarities drawn between this outfit and one also worn ahead of Taylor’s reputation Tour MetLife tour dates back in 2018. For me, I couldn’t help but notice the small details that pull through both outfits. The soft, undone hair. Those waves! The perennial bangs! The casual polish of pairing a button down with distressed denim. But my favourite is the subtle transference of asymmetric details across the outfits – from the off-shoulder detail of her button up in 2018 to the crossover button front of her 2023 shorts.

A. Emery ‘Zahara Sandal’ – $190.00

One thing I love about Taylor is her offbeat approach to brands. It’s one of the things most defining facets of her style is that she’ll often mix high street with designer or opt for independent or smaller brands mixed in with couture or bigger names. In this case, Australian brand A. Emery who have only been around since 2017.

Ralph Lauren ‘Calfskin Welington Shoulder Bag’ – $1,690.00

Taylor has worn and loved many a Ralph Lauren cognac brown saddle bag over the years. This new ‘Welington’ style is a more oblong one to her collection and coordinates nicely in a sandwich styling moment with the brown tone of her sandals.

R13 ‘Crossover Denim Shorts’ – $365.00

With Eras Tour shows in MetLife scheduled for this weekend, I had anticipated seeing Taylor out and about in the city. The only question was – how soon would that be off the heels of her Gillette dates?

The answer was right away.
