Taylor left the embellishments on her gown to speak for themselves, selecting a pair of diamond rings and soft pink earrings by her fave jeweler Lorraine Schwartz to complement the colour of her dress perfectly.

Worn with: Oscar de la Renta gown, Edie Parker clutch and Christian Louboutin pumps

Oscar de la Renta custom gown

As revealed earlier today by Taylor herself on Twitter, she stepped out onto the red carpet wearing a custom pink gown featuring allover embellishments by Oscar de la Renta.

While the front featured a simple a-line silhouette, the real drama came from the dress’ long, sculptured train.

As with many of the gowns from tonight, I feel a little letdown by the dress. Taylor looks lovely, as usual, and I like the glossy but textured waves of her hair, her glowing, dewy skin and the way the bodice creates a deep cut in the back. However, this won’t go down as one of my favourite looks from her.

I’m at least glad to see Meredith didn’t rip it to shreds during the final fitting.

Update (Feb. 15): You can actually purchase an unembellished version of Taylor’s gown via My Theresa here for $8645.

Rails ‘Hunter Plaid Shirt’ – sold out (white/blue)

While getting ready for the Met Ball with Karlie Kloss, Taylor wore a casual button down plaid shirt by Rails (their most well-known product). She also slicked on a layer of one of her fave red lip products: NARS ‘Velvet Matte Lip Pencil’ in ‘Dragon Girl’.

Oscar de la Renta ‘Short Sleeve Tromp L’Oeil Dress’ – $2590.00

Taylor’s chic, business-like attire comes courtesy of OdlR’s latest spring collection. I’ll admit the runway styling is far sleeker than Taylor’s, but the addition of her platform oxfords, skinnier belt and pops of red make this office look more streetstyle-ready.

Worn with: J. Mendel bag and Yves Saint Laurent oxford pumps

Taylor Swift Style – 2014 Met Gala

The Met Gala — well understood to be one of the biggest social (and of course, fashion) events of the year. This year, Taylor will be a guest of J. Mendel and thus will be wearing one of his designs.

While I maintain that Taylor will likely be wearing a custom ballgown to properly honour the designer behind this year’s theme (Charles James: Beyond Fashion), I’ve gone through the J. Mendel archives to pick some of my top faves as tribute to Charles James’ exquisite structural designs.

  • J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2013
    – A classic, full-skirted ballgown silhouette is instantly modernized by a splattered paint motif. A dress that harmonizes glamour with a more youthful, fresh flair.
  • J. Mendel Resort 2010
    – As soon as I laid my eyes on this gown, my breath caught a little bit. The Met Gala is all about drama and making an entrance. And when the theme of the night is white tie ballgown? Be prepared for some extravagant moments.
    The floaty underskirt of tulle on this gorgeous yellow gown is offset by delicate folding on the outer peplum skirt and folded bust. The colour would also look divine against Taylor’s skin.
  • J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2012
    – Upon perusing the Pre-Fall 2012 collection, I was torn between choosing this nude gown that featured a fuller, more detailed skirt. Or this similar royal blue one with a slimmer skirt.
    Ultimately, I had to go with what would lend itself better to Charles James. And those careful origami-like folds along the bodice and skirt screamed to be the superior choice despite the more quiet colour.
  • Charles James Vintage
    – Okay. So. This isn’t a J. Mendel piece. And no, Taylor will certainly not wear this beautifully constructed original Charles James gown. But DAMNIT I’m going to predict a green dress for every event until this woman retires.

What do you think TSS-ers? Which of my choices do you prefer? Or do you think Taylor will wear a custom gown?

— In a surprise move, Taylor ended up wearing a custom pink Oscar de la Renta design to the 2014 Met Gala instead of J. Mendel as was originally stated.
