Critically Kind takes on Taylor's fashion
InStyle Golden Globes After Party | January 12, 2014
Jimmy Choo ‘Xenia Sandal’ – $785.00
When it’s not Louboutins, Taylor favours her Jimmy Choos for red carpet events.
Looking adorably pigeon-toed, the black suede criss-cross straps of these ‘Lottie’ sandals were the perfect accent to Taylor’s crochet-like LBD. Taylor further individualized them by having embellishments placed on the two front criss-cross straps.
Worn with: Julien MacDonald dress and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry

Julien MacDonald Spring 2014
Following her attendance of the ceremony, Taylor hit up one of the many after-parties, this one hosted by InStyle. She arrived at the party wearing this sexy body-con, cutout dress by Julien MacDonald.
Taylor has previously worked the body-con, long-sleeved mini dress silhouette on many previous occasions to accentuate her amazing legs. Unfortunately, she’s done it to much greater effect in the past.
The dress itself featured one too many cutout details for my taste – which is a shame as we’ve previously seen Taylor pull off many cutout LBDs by other designers such as Elizabeth & James or David Koma.
Had the dress featured a single, blocked panel throughout the body to create an hourglass effect I may have been more on board. That being said, I do love the pop of colour via her red lips, the return of her curls and her sexy strappy Jimmy Choos.

Christian Louboutin ‘Vampanodo Sandals’ – no longer available
To match the bustle that was draped and gathered asymmetrically at the back of her Carolina Herrera gown, Taylor selected these satin bow, ankle-strap Louboutins that barely peeked out from the long hemline of her gown.

Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2014
After some fun early predictions to last minute (and correct!) predictions, Taylor stepped out on the red carpet at this year’s Golden Globes looking absolutely stunning in this bi-coloured Carolina Herrera gown from the Pre-Fall 2014 collection. The red gown with a dramatic bustle also featured a contrast black bodice for added interest.
Her pinned glamour waves are not only reminiscient of old-school Hollywood but also of her formerly favoured curled updos.
I loved the silhouette of the dress and the interesting structure of the back. Taylor’s frequent decision to leave her neckline bare is always an admirable choice for me and I loved the subtle punctuation of jewels via her statement rings and earrings. The elegant drama of the skirt was a perfect entrance to this prestigious event and was a mature choice for Taylor. The fact that she opted for a designer she hasn’t worn before to really step out of her comfort zone was also something I loved.
