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. 

Worn with: Stuart Weitzman boots

As suspected, Taylor’s performance ensemble for her second outing of “ME!” was by longtime costume collaborator Jessica Jones. 

While I love that we’re seeing Taylor fully embrace and experiment with colour (I love how her makeup took cues from her ensemble and included a pink shadow and dramatic lashes). However, I can’t say I’m a fan of the striped embellished detailing or the haphazard thick fringe hem. A solid skirt at a short length or this dress made into a bodysuit with a solid skirt layered on top would have been preferable.

“Shake It Off” on The Ellen Degeneres Show | October 27, 2014

Abodi ‘Empire of Twin Unisus Shirt’ – no longer available

Sometimes IDs take awhile. And sometimes they take five years. Up until a few days ago I had always believed this much-requested pegasus shirt was a custom by Taylor’s stylist. But I happily learned that that was not the case! This shirt is in fact by Abodi, for whom this symbol is actually a signature. Who knew! 

Worn with: Urban Outfitters shorts

Stuart Weitzman ‘Custom Niki Block Heel Leather Booties’ – not available for purchase

For her performance, Taylor appears to be a rocking a customized pair of the Niki boot by Stuart Weitzman. Both the toe and heel are bedazzled but the base silhouette appears to be the same. Linked above is a nude leather version.

Jessica Jones/Joseph Cassell custom dress

Taylor’s stylist and resident tour costume designer came together to design this beautiful, fringed, one-shoulder mini dress for her debut performance of “ME!”. I love the colours at play here and think they’re a perfect cotton candy dream. 

Fun Fact: Brendon is also rocking a custom design by Jessica and Joseph.

Performing “Delicate” at Ally Coalition | New York City, NY | December 5, 2018

Sergio Rossi ‘Zipper Trimmed Leather Ankle Boots’ – $1,250.00

To toughen up her dress, Tay added a pair of lace up ankle boots. Again, there’s more beauty in the details here as the velvet laces tie into her dress and the subtle zipper detail echoes the striping on her tights. 

Worn with: Faith Connexion dress and Wolford tights
