Taylor Swift Style – 2014 American Music Awards

Tonight Taylor will not only be delivering the debut performance of “Blank Space” (fingers-crossed for a tour-worthy outfit and performance) but she is also going to be the first-time recipient of the “Dick Clark Award for Excellence” for her historic album sales. 

Traditionally, the AMAs are usually a fun and leggy affair for Taylor filled with mini dresses and flirty dresses. Over-the-top gowns aren’t usually the norm and considering Taylor’s latest love for cut outs, crop tops and short hemlines, my choices reflect that. 

  • Versace Spring 2015
    As I mentioned above, the AMAs are typically a fun night in music. As Taylor’s style has gradually drifted towards the sexy, the daring and the bold — what better brand to turn to than Versace. This mini was probably the least risqué that took to the Spring runway (baby steps) but the combination of the pastel blue with vibrant red slashes opens Taylor up to wearing kick ass minty sandals and accessorizing with a red lip. 
  • J. Mendel Spring 2015
    After taking a break from a brand she used to favour in the Speak Now-leading-up-to-RED era, Taylor wore two of the brand’s dresses while doing television promo for 1989. I would love to see this colour against Taylor’s skin. It’s one that she hasn’t worn before on the red carpet and taking into consideration her hair and eyes, a gorgeous bronzed shadow and glossy pink lip would fit this perfectly. Accessorized with silver/metallic jewels and shoes, a bare neckline and letting her legs speak for themselves. 
  • David Koma Spring 2015
    Nothing says fun like David Koma’s youthful sport-inspired collections. Featuring some daring cut outs that make this dress crop-top friendly, I could see a grey or navy smoky eye, ankle-strap sandals, a dark mani and nude lips finishing off this dress. 
  • David Koma Fall 2014
    Since Taylor rarely wears necklaces on the red carpet, this might be an interesting dress for her to take on. A little “darker” than my other choices, it has enough edgy but feminine appeal to balance between her girly as well as sexy aesthetics she’s been playing with for 1989. 

(Please keep in mind, these predictions are just for fun and imagining Taylor in different brands/silhouettes. It’s just good-natured guessing and picturing Tay in all sorts of things ^_^)

What do you think TSS-ers? Is there a piece or brand you would love to see Taylor wear tonight?

— Instead of a short hemline, Taylor went full-length in a personal life goal of my own: an emerald cutout Michael Kors gown.

Taylor Swift Style – 2014 Academy of Country Music Awards

Tonight is the prestigious Academy of Country Music Awards! Taylor is up for five awards – including the biggest honour of the night: Entertainer of the Year. This is an event which almost necessitates a gown and tonight should be no different.

What was so difficult about choosing my predictions is that I have no idea where Taylor’s red carpet style is moving towards these days. And the ACMs tonight will mark Taylor’s very first major awards show appearance of her shortened hair so it’ll be exciting to see how she styles that as well. And how perhaps the new vision for the Album Five Era will (or won’t) influence her tonight.

  • Zuhair Murad Spring 2014 Couture
    – Taylor adores Zuhair Murad and lately, Taylor can’t stop drawing watercolour florals (and driving everyone crazy with “hints” that the next era will be filled with them).
    This gown is just sparkly enough for Taylor but not so much that it loses any mature appeal. Worn with a sheer insert to cover up the revealing nature of the skirting, I’d love to see Taylor wear her hair either completely slicked back with minimal, glowing makeup or wavy and framed around her face. No necklace is necessary for that neckline.
  • Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture
    – Something a little different. No sparkles. No jewel tones. No monochrome black or white. That square cutout in the neckline gives away a little bit of sexy appeal while the dramatic flowing skirt and blending colours keep this gown from being too “dark”. The perfect amount of drama.
    Smoky eyes balanced by a pretty pink lip, a dark manicure and a fuschia-stone bracelet or ring would be perfect.
  • Elie Saab Spring 2014 RTW
    – For my sanity (and my fellow Greenies) I’m going to keep “predicting” green Elie Saab until Taylor cooperates.
    It’ll happen. One day.
  • Kaufmanfranco Fall 2014 RTW
    – Taylor loves a white gown. And she’s also proven from this year’s Grammy’s that she can look stunning and statuesque in a column gown. The beauty of this gown is its minimalism – and the slight hint of sex appeal with the cutouts around the bust.
    Warm, bronzed makeup would be nice to see to balance out the clean, sharp crispness of the gown.

What do you think TSS-ers? Which of my predictions are your favourite? Or do you have your own gown in mind?

— The beginning of an era. Rather than a conventional full-length gown, Taylor officially kicked off the Era of the Crop Top in a J. Mendel black and white two-piece.

The 56th Annual GRAMMY Awards | Los Angeles, CA | January 26, 2014

Gucci Première gown

Worn with: Jimmy Choo sandals and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry

View all the times Taylor has attended this event here.

Chainmail, it was. Edgy, it was not. Taylor wore none of my original predictions nor my redacted prediction I originally posted for the Golden Globes. Instead, she selected this silver, sparkling Gucci gown.

As Taylor has never worn Gucci before I have to applaud her for wearing a new designer, particularly one with as much clout as Gucci. She looks so incredibly statuesque and – dare I say it – exudes a Nicole Kidman height of elegance and maturity. I’m slightly disappointed about the glitter factor as Taylor is universally known for her love of sparkly dresses but I’m pleased that she put her hair up in a ponytail so as not to compete with the neckline. She looks stunning – but no more so than she usually does.

Her beauty styling was perfect – including silver smokey eyes and a pretty pink lip. I’m also in love with her square-drop earrings and that she didn’t opt for anything other than a pair of rings. No other jewelry was required.

71st Annual Golden Globe Awards | January 12, 2014

Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2014

After some fun early predictions to last minute (and correct!) predictions, Taylor stepped out on the red carpet at this year’s Golden Globes looking absolutely stunning in this bi-coloured Carolina Herrera gown from the Pre-Fall 2014 collection. The red gown with a dramatic bustle also featured a contrast black bodice for added interest.

Her pinned glamour waves are not only reminiscient of old-school Hollywood but also of her formerly favoured curled updos.

I loved the silhouette of the dress and the interesting structure of the back. Taylor’s frequent decision to leave her neckline bare is always an admirable choice for me and I loved the subtle punctuation of jewels via her statement rings and earrings. The elegant drama of the skirt was a perfect entrance to this prestigious event and was a mature choice for Taylor. The fact that she opted for a designer she hasn’t worn before to really step out of her comfort zone was also something I loved.

Worn with: Lorraine Schwartz jewels, Christian Louboutin sandals and Jimmy Choo clutch

What did you all think of Taylor’s dress? Or did you prefer TSS’ first predictions?
