Marc Fisher ‘Ulani Pointy Toe Bootie’ – $199.95 (custom)
Taylor’s sturdy performance boots were a custom take by Marc Fisher on their pointed toe ‘Ulani’ style. Hers were finished in a metallic gold with a sparkly heel.
Worn with: Jessica Jones x Joseph Cassell custom ensemble and Nouvel Jewelry earrings + EF Collection/Dru Jewelry/Kat Kim rings

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.

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

TMall Double 11 Gala | Shanghai, China | November 11, 2019
Joseph Cassell custom
Oh how much do I genuinely love this. The boots are a serve, the holographic print with very subtle rhinestoning is pleasing to the camera and the lights but isn’t a complete 100% sparkle look. I also like the tie belt and slightly oversized shirtdress look paired with the slight slouch of the boots. It feels very *swagger* to me.
Worn with: Graziela Gems + Rachel Katz rings

Sophia Webster ‘Freya Embellished Platform Sandals’ – $675.00
Rather than trying to find an anchor point to ground her colourful dress, she chose to add onto it with these platform Sophia Webster sandals. I’m typically preferable to a sleekly lined sandal, but I also love me an ankle strap moment and I like that the dark tone on these sandals is juuuuust enough of a contrast “quiet” moment before yet another burst of rainbow to finish off the look.
Worn with: Ashish dress
