Joseph Cassell/Jessica Jones custom ensemble

As has been the case for all her performance outfits, Taylor’s rainbow burst latest was from the mind of Jessica Jones — this time in close partnership with Taylor’s stylist Joseph. 

While I love the commitment to making a statement at the outset of Pride Month, I would have personally opted for the fringe rainbow jacket and perhaps a pair of high waisted white denim. As-is, it feels like it veers far too strongly into a cheesy Crayola wonderland. 

But if I could only make two changes it would be to 1) Remove the lace up corsetry detail. Which, in my opinion, was much better employed in this svelte and intentionally sexy reputation-era look during last year’s Biggest Weekend performance. Rendered in this technicolour palette and paired with a basic tee feels off-putting and incongruous. 2) Change those chunky sneakers for her go-to pair of custom Stuart Weitzmans Niki boots. I’ve never been a fan of the latest clunky sneaker trend. 

Worn with: Stella McCartney sneakers

FYI: Brendon Urie is wearing a Donna Karan ‘Pride’ tee ($39.50) during the concert.

The Voice (France) | May 25, 2019

Jessica Jones custom romper

Breaking her pink and blue tradition, Taylor opted for a tinsel-esque purple romper for her appearance on The Voice in France. I’m still appreciative of the updo, bangs, and wispy hair pieces. The volume up top is also almost Bardot-like.

Germany’s Next Top Model | May 23, 2019

Jessica Jones custom romper

The commentary a lot of you have been waiting for. The comparisons to another infamous light blue romper were unavoidable. Particularly given the unflattering associations this blog has with that Lewk. It even has its own nickname. 

I appreciate the textural sequins and the movement they create on the bodysuit which seems to mimic the melting moment in the ME! music video where she is wearing this Marchesa dress. This bodysuit also improves upon the original Incident given that its hem length actually commits to what could be considered “shorts”. And also isn’t at odds with a full sleeve look. 

I also like the cute details around the shoulders of cutouts. That said, it follows the same essential silhouette we’ve seen from Taylor’s last few “ME!” performances: A silhouette that takes the tightness of a bodysuit and marries it with the leg length of a romper. At this point of repetition, it feels like a go-to performance uniform we may see on tour. 

Between the boots that we see here and the lace up platform bootie we saw at Graham Norton, I think Taylor should meet in the middle with a J. Lo inspired dance heel, sans platform. All the moveability of a dance heel, but streamlined and without bulk.
