Lorraine Schwartz earrings

Those earrings are the obvious statement here – I love the subtle hits of turquoise in there as a bright pop.

According to Variety, these “bold dangle earrings boast over 136 carats of natural purple sapphires, paraibas and diamonds” and are part of a nearly $3 million price line for loaned jewelry for the night.

Roberto Cavalli custom

Rather than look backward and pay homage to RED and its TV in honour of her SOTY nomination for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)”, Taylor went with a more Midnights-appropriate look at the Grammys.

This midnight navy colour is beautiful on Taylor – a hue she rarely wears. Combined with the starry night embellishments, the looks feels appropriate to the late night theme of Midnights. I think I could envision this as a gown with side cut outs and a slit – or with a completely open back. With the current silhouette, the reference to the co-ordinating sets and crop tops of the 1989 era immediately came to my mind.

I would have loved to have seen the hood (as pictured in the original Fausto Puglisi-designed sketch) but am not mad by its omission to instead commit to a high wattage, statement earring moment. Continuing to prove that styling can really make or break a look.

The slightly mussed, twisted bun was a nice way to counterbalance all the sharp lines of the ensemble. See those strong shoulders, the geometric earrings, the horizontal slice of her torso. An updo was definitely needed with that high neck but it was a great choice to give a little looseness and her makeup was so well-coordinated to the rest of the look.

Gibson ‘J-180 Acoustic Guitar’ – not available (similar)

Taylor has owned and played the acoustic J-180 style from Gibson since approximately 2015. She debuted a black version in 2015 and this matte white version in 2017.

Taylor appears to have a soundhole cover placed here – which helps with sound in the live setting on stage and is covering the first distinctive decorative ring around the soundhole.

Christian Louboutin ‘Yazefine Platform Metallic Embellished Sandal’ – $2,495.00

A deceptive pair of Louboutins that are usually so distinctive by its red sole. This pair is from the Fall/Winter 2022 collection and instead of the typical red backing you would see on the platform heel, I like that the motif was relaxed here to emphasize the really intricate, almost fairylike, textured embellishments on the heel.

Paco Rabanne ‘Paillette Chainmail Sparkle Dress’ – $3,950.00

Who would have thought the first performance of the Midnights era would come at a The 1975 concert?

This is a classic Taylor performance outfit. Short, flirty, with a ton of sparkle to catch the stage lights. The chunky paillettes also feel like an in-line nod to the 70s style she’s been sporting lately and is a glammed up disco version of that.
