Taylor Swift Style – 2016 Met Gala

With the theme for this year’s Met Gala being “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” it’s certain that attendees will either go the route of the obvious (lots of silver and metallics, things akin to robotics), dramatic (large, avant-garde gowns commanding attention but that don’t necessarily adhere to the literal idea of the theme) or the authentic but subtle (fashion created using new technologies as fitted to the theme that don’t necessarily look like an out-of-the-ordinary garment unless you know the story behind it). 

While it’s probable that Taylor’s gown this year will be a custom, I couldn’t resist pulling these gowns as inspiration for her look. And yes, you’ll note that I did not include a certain French brand with the initials YSL ;). The reason being that Anna Wintour herself said she had seen sketches of Tay’s gown and wouldn’t be wearing YSL due to the departure of creative director Heidi Slimane. 

So, here we go!

  • Giles Spring 2016
    With Taylor’s affinity for dark, gothic-esque clothes and her new peroxide blonde hair, try and tell me that she wouldn’t style this with a dark berry lip and her tousled bleached tresses. This gown has so much going for it and perfectly fits the drama, the hugeness, and the “if you’re going to go there, go all out” approach that should be taken to Met Gala fashion. 
  • Alexander McQueen Fall 2011
    I personally would have been remiss if I excluded an Alexander McQueen confection from my predictions list. A pioneer, an adventurer, and a fearless designer in fashion I wanted to dig through the archives of the late designer to find something that I think Taylor would look fantastic in. The latest Sarah Burton-led collections have erred on the side of dreamy goddess more than techno deity, but I found this old pull from five years ago to be the perfect mix of dainty China doll made tough. 
  • Iris van Herpen Fall 2016
    This was my attempt at including an actual designer that truly embodies the theme this year. Iris van Herpen would be the perfect fit for this year’s Met and if Taylor doesn’t wear designs by this house, somebody should. Well known for their affinity for 3D printing and incorporating technological advances in machine fabricating techniques, this designer belongs at the 2016 Met Gala and who is to say that Taylor won’t bring their designs to life. She already did in the “Bad Blood” video, after all. 
  • Armani Privé Fall 2015 Couture
    This was my personal indulgence in the “dramatic but not authentic” category I mentioned above. While there’s nothing technologically advanced going on behind-the-scenes with this gown, I think Taylor would absolutely slay it. It would also be a rare opportunity to actually incorporate colour with her new style – which appears to be leaning more towards “ALL the black ALL the time!”

So! What do you think of my choices? Do you have a favourite? Do you have other ideas for what she’ll wear? Do you think I’m insane for not including Yves Saint Laurent? 

— Taylor wore custom Louis Vuitton.

Swift’s personal style has, not surprisingly, matured over the course of her career, migrating from the early days of sundresses and, as she describes them, “bedazzled cowboy boots” to the vintage fifties vibe of a few years ago to the sleeker, street-conscious look she favors now. “I can look back at an old photo and tell you roughly what year it’s from,” Swift says. “Going through different phases is one of my favorite things about fashion. I love how it can mark the passage of time. It’s similar to my songs in that way—it all helps identify where I was at in different points of my life.

Theoretically, yes,” she says. “But I would want it to be something that was relatable and accessible and everyday. I don’t see it being couture. I would want it to be reflective of my style. And a lot of things I wear are not highly expensive.
