Valentino Couture Fall 2019

The pronouncement of those braids and their utilitarian toughness feel even more significant here. Doesn’t this amazing hooded silk piece by Valentino bring to mind a wrestling hooded robe that’s shaken off by the fighter just before entering the ring?

Further, it’ll be a crime if we don’t get more Valentino moments throughout this era. And while we’re at it, I’d also like to throw Prada, Chloé, and Rodarte as other Lover-worthy brand suggestions.

Gucci Resort 2020 jacket and shirt 

Rolling Stone said “Blondes In Yellow™” and Taylor Swift Style said hell yeah.

In one of her deepest cutting interviews in years, Taylor graced the cover of RS wearing a sunny, vibrant bow-accented look from Gucci’s latest runway. I have to say that I much prefer the fun take that makeup artist Andrew Gallimore took for this yellow look over the more moody original presentation on the Gucci runway. 

This is also one of two yellow looks in the entire spread and continues to add to the Blondes In Yellow™ looks that we’ve been presented with this era. A part of me wonders if part of it is an intentional shoutout on Taylor’s part to the album-name-that-could-have-been for Lover and a symbolic representation of the daylight and golden sunshine she basks her life in now. It’s a comforting thought. 

Check out everything from Taylor’s Rolling Stone spread here.

Thanks @thereputationera!

Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini ‘Glitter Velvet Double-Breasted Blazer’ – $1,295.00
Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini ‘Glitter Embellished Velvet High-Rise Leggings’ – $295.00

It’s incredibly interesting how post Lover-release, Taylor has been implementing even more fashion seemingly inspired by “The Man” than prior to its release. Pre-release style ruffles, girlish silhouettes, pastel palettes, and mermaid-scaled sequins dominated her fashion choices. But in this post-release world, we’re being blessed with a bevy of sharply cut suits in a variety of colours and materials. 

The distinction is incredibly fascinating and I look forward to continuing to see how her style develops from here for this era.

Gucci ‘Double Breasted Checked Floral Embroidered Blazer Jacket’ – $5,555.00 (sold out)

This outfit will undoubtedly find a place in my annual Favourite Outfits Of the Year list – so I was incredibly delighted to finally track down the check blazer she wears here: a sadly sold out Gucci piece. What’s even sadder is that we never got a look at the reverse of the blazer which includes a beautiful surprise fully embroidered floral back! Update 5/17: Dreams do come true thanks to the City Of Lover behind-the-scenes content. 

Personally finding myself loving everything about this outfit as it employs many tactics I (bias) work into my own wardrobe. I love a professional-looking ensemble to always have a bit of bite and to include a mixture of textures and materials. A slightly oversized menswear-like blazer is edged up significantly by a burgundy leather skirt. The play of colours here is distinctly fall and equal parts smoking and professional. 11/10, thank you. 

Get the look: BB Dakota, $98.00

Versace custom ensemble


To continue the theme of all things Versace, her performance ensemble was also a custom piece by the Italian fashion house. The purple and gold combination screams Wonder Woman meets royalty, no?

Worn with: Kallati earrings + Brumani + Misahara rings, Versace necklaces, Versace bracelets, and Christian Louboutin boots
