Critically Kind takes on Taylor's fashion
The Eras Tour | Lover section | Las Vegas, NV | Night 1
Versace ‘Greek Key Flower Crystal Necklace’ – $2,375.00
I can almost imagine that once opening night was over and Taylor was getting a feel for the physicality of the show she felt confident enough to start accessorizing 😉
Worn with:Â Versace bodysuit and Christian Louboutin boots
The Eras Tour | 1989 section | Version 2
Roberto Cavalli custom
Christian Louboutin custom
If you follow the TSSQ blog then you know I have an ongoing tag dedicated to me live reacting to Taylor in green. Needless to say that tag was popping off yesterday when Taylor swapped out her original pink co-ord set for the 1989 section of her setlist for this gree(eeeeeeeeeeee)n one. And matching booties, natch.
I don’t think I need to elaborate further that this set is my clear favourite between the two.
Doesn’t she just look like the happiest string bean in green?
The Eras Tour | folklore section | Version 2
Alberta Ferretti custom
Well we are certainly in for quite a ride with this tour if Taylor plans to continue to serve fresh versions of her looks. On Night 2 of Glendale, AZ Taylor switched up her goddess gown for her folklore set to this tiered, cream gown. The split sleeve details feel almost capelike, which I love. the flutter cap sleeve also feels simultaneously dainty and armour-like.
I think this could have made a stronger impact in a different colour.

The Eras Tour | RED section | Version 2
Ashish Sequin Tee – custom
Worn with: Gladys Tamez hat, Ashish bodysuit, and Christian Louboutin oxfords
The Eras Tour | Speak Now Section (“Enchanted”) | Version 2
Zuhair Murad Couture custom
The starburst bodice design feels just the right amount of ethereal and “sparkling” for a song like “Enchanted” and I actually like the tonal pink on pink of Taylor against the screens here. But I think I prefer Version 1 for its more overt similarities to the Speak Now Tour finale gown.
The Eras Tour | Fearless Section | Version 2
Roberto Cavalli custom
This dress was incredibly fun in motion Рthe degrad̩ here is thanks to thousands of hand-applied Swarovski crystals.

The Eras Tour | Lover Section | Version 2
Versace custom
Once again, these Versace bodysuits really are coming through like works of art. This bodysuit looks like a glitter Renaissance painting.

The Eras Tour | Midnights section
Christian Louboutin custom (similar pictured)
As is the case with most of Taylor’s Louboutins, these appear to be a custom crystallized version based somewhat on an existing silhouette. In this case, the ‘Gael’ boot.
Worn with: Oscar de la Renta or Zuhair Murad bodysuit
The Eras Tour | Midnights section
Oscar de la Renta custom
As a former dancer myself who’s done a chair dance, I respect and feel a kinship towards Taylor challenging herself with more intricate and highly choreographed numbers on this tour. It’s even more impressive when you consider that the number appears on the tour’s final section of a three hour show.
The fringe on this midnight blue bodysuit drips beautifully over her hips here and plays multiple roles. Serving to mimic raindrops for “Midnight Rain”, a fun twirly moment worthy of strutting and spinning during “Bejeweled”, and to add a sensual tasseled burlesque feel during that aforementioned chair dance of “Vigilante Shit”. Plus it also feels kind of cheeky western glam.

The Eras Tour | Midnights section
Oscar de la Renta custom
The most direct reference to present Midnights fashion comes via this faux fur jacket – a designer take on the Free People faux she wears in the “Lavender Haze” music video.
The number of times outerwear is used as a method of quick change to impact the silhouette of a look (the duster added during her RED set) or shift the visual direction of an outfit (the Boss blazer added for “The Man”) feels like a fun folkmore reference to the chic outerwear that dominated those visuals.
