Giuseppe Zanotti ‘Leather Over The Knee Boots’ – $1,150.00

A shoe quick change during an awards ceremony is not uncommon for Taylor, who has previously changed out shoes from red carpet to mid-ceremony to post-performance at a few awards previously. What’s more funny is it’s usually for a similar-looking shoe. 

In this case, her earlier Casadei OTK boots were swapped out for a leather pair by Giuseppe Zanotti. My only guess as to why would be for heel height and comfort but this pair appear to be just as high as her Casadei ones.

Ofira earrings
Lorraine Schwartz + Ofira rings

A creature of habit and loyalty, as is usually the cast Taylor’s red carpet jewels were by Ofira and Lorraine Schwartz. The black diamond colours are the perfect edgy complement to the dress. I also find it interesting to emulate last year’s square hoops from the 2018 AMAs, which were also by Ofira.

Casadei ‘Blade Elastic Girl Boots’ – $1,050.00 $735.00

Had we been served this look during the rep era, everything about this look (from the pairing of a thigh-high slit emerald green gown with OTK boots) would not have surprised me in the slightest. But being presented with it during the Lover era is an interesting twist I never expected. 

Even given that, I’m not typically one to turn my nose at a thigh high boot nor a strappy sandal — both in equal measure. However, between the two silhouettes, I think a strappy sandal would have given that amazing slit more of an impact. 

Worn with: Julien Macdonald gown

Get the look: ASOS, $79.50

Julien Macdonald Spring 2020 – custom gown

My predictions may have been wrong. But, frankly, I’m still the real winner here. Because Taylor Swift is wearing green. 

GREEN. 

GREEN! 

GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN. 

Meeting me somewhere in the middle between what I thought may be a full-length moment despite her propensity for minis at this event, Taylor opted for a high-low gown with a thigh high slit.

If we want to nitpick, I prefer the neckline on the runway original and feel that a proper slit would have made for a cleaner look on her thigh. As presented, it looks like a random Grecian drape was added to the front of a micro mini dress. 

But who are we kidding. 

It’s green. 

It’s strappy. 

It’s sequinned. 

This look is perfect and I won’t allow even myself to besmirch it. 

Whether or not it was intentionally for Taylor Swift Style and myself — I see u Joseph. And I thank you for this moment of emerald beauty. It’s an even more gorgeous shade than her previous green moment at the AMAs all those years ago. 

Funnily enough for a look given to us during the Lover era, it’s something that I very much would have expected had Taylor given us more opportunities to shine on the red carpet during the reputation era. And I’m very much in favour of it.
