Ofira earrings and rings
Lorraine Schwartz rings
To complete her look, Taylor wore jewels by two of her go-to designers: Lorraine Schwartz and sister brand Ofira.
I like the geometric structure of her rectangular earrings and of course that serpentine touch via one of her statement rings.
Worn with: Balmain dress and boots

Balmain Spring 2019
Practically straight off the runway, Taylor rocks a pair of cap-toed thigh high boots. I’ve always been a fan of cutting a short hemline like this with higher boots.
The slouchy silhouette also is a good counterweight to how tight her dress is. While I do love a tight OTK boot, I fear a skintight look would have been a bit too much. Thoughts?
Worn with: Balmain dress and Ofira + Lorraine Schwartz jewelry

Balmain Spring 2019
Taylor very much took me by surprise with this look. Practically everything was quite unexpected on my part. The slight bouffant and 60s makeup, the allover disco look and of course going mini when I thought she would go long. I’m officially dubbing this look ‘Retro Galactic Disco’.
This mini and of course the shimmering silvery factor both seem like things that she would have worn in her earlier days. Her Zuhair Murad at the 2013 BBMAs immediately comes to mind (as well as a few other long-sleeved, short hemline ZM looks).
While I love seeing Tay on the red carpet again, I think this is a bittersweet surprise for me.

It feels like it’s been this side of an eternity since I made a predictions post, so forgive me if I’m rusty. I also definitely feel heading into tomorrow’s ceremony that we’re going in rather blind. Taylor’s style has been a bit all over the place (sometimes urban and distressed, sometimes rainbows and embellishment, sometimes head-to-toe Madewell).
While Taylor’s performance is completely confirmed, I’m also suspicious that she may skip the red carpet entirely. Both in order to prepare for her show opening performance and also because Taylor has been very red carpet-shy all era and avoiding the red carpet would mean only her performance would speak for her that night (i.e. “There will be no explanation …”)
With that said, here are my choices. Which certainly reflect that all over nature and unpredictability (I hope) that Taylor’s fashion has been. Here we go!
For fun, these were my back ups: Alexis Mabille Fall 2018 Couture lace jumpsuit, Miu Miu Spring 2019 leather coat dress, Rosie Assoulin Fall 2018 cut out flounce gown.
Which of my predictions is your favourite? Do you have any picks of your own?
— Taylor wore a galactic disco Balmain mini.
