Roberto Cavalli Atelier custom gown

Now this is much more like it. 

Bouncing back from a divisive green look the night before at the Elle Style Awards, I’m glad to see Taylor indulge in a fierce risk that I can actually appreciate. 

Though the silhouette from the front may be somber, it’s the vibrant red dragon-embroidered and mesh back that delivers the drama. Improvements in terms of hair and make-up as well as styling (those ear cuffs!) are also high points for this look. 

While I’m not sure it will go down as one of my all-time favourites from Taylor, though I’m sure this moment will be dubbed ‘The Dragon Dress’ by its admirers, this is the kind of fierce elegance and confidence I’d like to see from now on. She’s rocking this. 

Worn with: Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Charlotte Olympia sandals

Giuseppe Zanotti ‘Slide Sandals’ – $1295.00 (crystal)

Taylor wears a pair of ‘Slide’ sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti in all black. Pictured above is the snake-stamped version and linked for purchase is a crystal version.

While the sight of the often fierce brand Giuseppe Zanotti on Taylor usually gets me excited, here, I once again feel like a switch to a pair of ‘Nudist’ (Stuart Weitzman) or ‘Minnie’ (Jimmy Choo) sandals would have slimmed the look down. 

Worn with: Julien Macdonald gown and Lorraine Schwartz + Ofira jewelry

Julien Macdonald Fall 2015

Wow. I don’t think any of us saw this coming. 

While the dress is rendered in an electric shade of green (which, as many of you know, is a dream of mine to see Taylor in) I don’t think I can ultimately get on board with this lingerie/gown. 

When I picture this stunning colour on Taylor, and it aches me in my heart to not love this as much as I want to, I picture something more along the lines of Scarlett Johansson’s sob-worthy 2015 Oscars gown that fit her body like the sexiest glove ever with a to-die-for shade of green. 

I want to love it. Because it’s Taylor in green. And seeing her in this colour feels like a personal gift just for me. But this is a sad no from me. Julien Macdonald always finds a way to toe the line between sultry and trashy and this passes that line for me.

Long story short: I love the risk. I love that she went there. I love that she wore green. But I think better luck next time.
