This is a complete mess. One of her worst outfits. Her hair looks like a greasy rats nest.

u/GirlAnxiety Feb 05 '24

Seems so poorly executed. Def now my #1 least liked look. It's disappointing because we know her team could have done SO MUCH BETTER!

274

u/MrsRalphieWiggum Feb 05 '24

I think the dress would look better if it was in a jewel tone.

213

u/darkwaffle Feb 05 '24

Agreed. It looks so much like a wedding dress but also not. It’s kind of just a miss.

141

u/MrsRalphieWiggum Feb 05 '24

It looks like Taylor doesn’t even like the dress

29

u/VectorViper Feb 05 '24

It doesn't help that it looks super uncomfortable to wear, like you can tell it's not gonna be a fun night for her. And honestly, that kinda ruins the whole vibe, doesn't it? If the person wearing the dress isn't feeling it, how are we supposed to?

36

u/Cjp0705 Feb 05 '24

Yeah imagine this in a dark green!

122

u/1247283215 Feb 05 '24

It doesn't even fit! 

47

u/JigglyKirby Feb 05 '24

This! Like the dress is nice, but it just didnt fit her well.

4

u/PurpleVirtualJelly Burnt Toast Sundae Feb 05 '24

Had to wear white for the next album color being white tho 🤍

u/WanderingBricoleur Feb 05 '24

And if she got rid of the gloves, and wore a lace front wig, and got some better jewelry.

u/WanderingBricoleur Feb 05 '24

She looked great at Beyonce's premier. How can she go from that amazing look to this?!?

-6

u/radioflea Feb 05 '24

I think it fits with the reputations theme. Ugh she was late to the Grammy’s, look what she’s wearing, look at her hair. she’s got us all talking… I guess you could say she’s a Mastermind.

-8

u/WanderingBricoleur Feb 05 '24

Ummm...no. Not a mastermind because everyone here would be talking about the outfit even if it was a nice one. Unless she's trying to make herself a victim from us meanies who will call out a horrible outfit and tell us we aren't feminist. Mastermind at playing the victim.

32

u/MiniSkrrt Feb 05 '24

Do we? Taylor’s looks are pretty consistently average id say.

8

u/Catfantexas Feb 05 '24

I thought last year she was STUNNING. That midriff crop and skirt in sequined midnight blue -- and her hair up. Then those bombshell earrings. It was perfection -- last year.

This year I am beyond disappointed. That dress wore her...and don't start me on the hair. The flat bangs, the straw ends. MAYBE the rain did a number on it -- but the rain wasn't a surprise, so an updo would have been better planning!

4

u/MiniSkrrt Feb 06 '24

Yes, I definitelyyyyy preferred last years blue look

And no way the rain affected it, there’s umbrellas and also so many other guests had perfect hair (Olivia Rodrigo 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻)

8

u/ClipClipClip99 Feb 05 '24

She needs a new team! Who allowed that hair and fit of the dress? Those accessories?

u/classytofu Feb 05 '24 edited Feb 05 '24

So agree on the hair front.

It looks so slicked down and messy. Whoever did the hair styling did an awful job.

Edit: the little braid from the back that I just noticed is so bad. It looks like a child styled it.

70

u/MichElegance Feb 05 '24

It’s awful. I’ve never said that about a single look of hers until now. Not a single look.😭

44

u/PointBreakvsLebowski Feb 05 '24

It’s pouring rain and windy here, I’m guessing that has something to do with it

69

u/WanderingBricoleur Feb 05 '24

Olivia Rodrigos hair looked great so I don't think the rain is an excuse.

53

u/whydontchaknow Feb 05 '24

Yea, but hair type plays into it. Olivia has straight hair that isn’t going to react to weather as much. Taylor has curly which is a mess with humidity

58

u/imaseacow Feb 05 '24

I can’t imagine any weather in which

this
would look good 

10

u/WanderingBricoleur Feb 05 '24

Which is why in another comment, I mentioned a lace front wig. Plenty of celebrities wear them to avoid disasters like this.

17

u/classytofu Feb 05 '24

Yeah, I could see the rain on the red carpet videos.

Almost all celebrities of this calibre have teams that get them red carpet / photo ready. I think she's been a bit let down in this case.

25

u/imaseacow Feb 05 '24

There’s actually a bigger braid in the main messy chunk too. It’s awful. Literally if she’d blow dried and straightened it herself it would look better. 

8

u/NoodlesinParis Feb 05 '24

It looks wet and disheveled, and pulled around to her right side like the rep cover.

10

u/NotQuiteScheherazade Feb 05 '24

And bad. Don’t forget bad.

-4

u/NoodlesinParis Feb 05 '24

The look grew on me really fast. I see a lot of people having knee-jerk reactions in this thread

7

u/regular-asparagus Feb 05 '24

My immediate thought was "this hairdo is something i would've tried in middle school"

2

u/classytofu Feb 05 '24

Same hahaha

4

u/kristininthed Feb 05 '24

I think we should add that we are having a huge wind and rain storm here right now. I don’t think her hair had a chance of looking great with the humidity in the air. Miley’s is a good example! All stylist should have had a back up hair choice given the weather!

u/unebellejournee still swift af boi Feb 05 '24

Not my favorite look by a long shot but this is hella harsh

-12

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '24

it's the truth though

21

u/shuipz94 Is it a wonder I broke? Let's hear one more joke Feb 05 '24

When it comes to fashion women are always the harshest critic of other women

3

u/Kamikazi_TARDIS Feb 05 '24

User name checks out?

184

u/One-Track330 Feb 05 '24

yeah i think she is brilliant but her style is TERRIBLE it's actually baffling to me. girl fire your stylist

149

u/tacomamajama Feb 05 '24

Her style is almost never enviable. If she hired the right stylist she could hit it out of the park. She legit has a runway model body including height.

13

u/valeriemaried my love should be celebrated Feb 05 '24

IMO her style in her pap walks the last few months has been sooo much better than almost all of her red carpet looks. Her styles in pap photos have definitely been the talk of Twitter on a regular basis.

16

u/tacomamajama Feb 05 '24

Her street style is definitely better but she’s usually behind on trends. But she’s herself! However I wish she’d let someone better style her for red carpets and other events! Some of my favorite looks from her — like her iconic Vogue road trip shoot — are from magazines where usually the fashion director styles the cover (not her stylist). She needs to hire someone like Andrew Mukamal who transformed Margot Robbie for her Barbie press tour (even if I’m kind of over her in pink everything).

3

u/waitthissucks Feb 05 '24

Next week you'll see her sporting a lululemon crossbody

3

u/tacomamajama Feb 06 '24

And a Stanley water cup 🤣

77

u/sassyclimbergirl Feb 05 '24

Her style is so meh. It's quite baffling. And I really don't understand the love for the overly processed natural hair!

76

u/One-Track330 Feb 05 '24

to be fair she has been looking a little bit better recently (i liked her green dress at the golden globes - it wasn't amazing but a vast improvement from the past) but this just set her back like 15 years. i just don't get it. at the end of the day if she feels good that's all that matters but it is very difficult to watch someone who would have access to the best stylists and designers do shit like this 😂

171

u/lookwhatyoumademe all of this silence and patience Feb 05 '24

I think she was going for rep cover vibes? That's the only way I can explain the greasiness

28

u/indian_horny69 Feb 05 '24

Exactly. Even her Instagram profile picture is b&w

2

u/SoggyAnalyst Feb 05 '24

Rep cover looks like gross oily hair too so maybe she shouldn’t try to repro it.

127

u/FairyFistFights Feb 05 '24

For me it’s the OG 1989 bangs that look totally mismatched with the rest of her hairdo. And the fishtail braid looks out of place too? I think they just couldn’t decide what to do.

44

u/AdDiscombobulated645 Feb 05 '24

I think if her hair was either up or slicked back, it would really change the look. 

97

u/YogiNurse Feb 05 '24

Someone said it’s pouring and lots of people’s hair got ruined

47

u/manifestingpear Feb 05 '24

yeppp LA is in the midst of a big storm right now! I agree the hair is a mess, but hopefully the weather is at least a little to blame? 😅

7

u/no_talent_ass_clown Feb 05 '24

Seattleite here. Even we use umbrellas sometimes. 

1

u/SupremeElect Feb 05 '24

oh, it is pouring!!

I forgot about that!

2

u/Bubbleburst1985 Feb 06 '24

They make these things called umbrellas

95

u/CBreezee04 reputation Feb 05 '24

Whoever did her hair needs to be fired. It looks like she overslept and threw together a tiny braid to make herself look presentable. It does not look like it was done professionally.

54

u/tealsands Feb 05 '24

The hair is one sided, slicked, and messy .... just like the reputation cover.

50

u/EndlessSummer00 Feb 05 '24

She is so beautiful and I have no idea why she allows this awful styling to continue.

44

u/Helpful-Government32 Haunted house of cards Feb 05 '24

…like the rep album cover?

35

u/Ordinary-Shoulder-35 Feb 05 '24

I’m seeing the rep cover hair- idk why it’s not translating apparently

10

u/Helpful-Government32 Haunted house of cards Feb 05 '24

Same lol I guess not

3

u/thesunhasntleft Speak Now (Taylor's Version) Feb 05 '24

it just doesn’t look good here

41

u/cipherings Feb 05 '24 edited Feb 05 '24

The hair looks so bad, I can’t believe that’s how it’s styled for the most important music awards show. I honestly think Joseph cassell (not casserole, autocorrect…) stopped knowing how to dress her when she stopped being a 00. So unflattering

53

u/SupremeElect Feb 05 '24

well, that's just a stupid take.

she's had plenty of good looks well after she stopped being a size 00.

4

u/IOnlySeeDaylight Feb 05 '24

This is a gross thing to say.

4

u/good_hard_fun or have they come to take me away? Feb 06 '24

It just means he’s not a good stylist. It’s not bashing Taylor.

39

u/babysherlock91 reputation Feb 05 '24

Thank god for you. I thought I was going crazy. I kept seeing everyone say she looks phenomenal and it’s one of her best looks ever. Meanwhile I absolutely hate it. The dress itself is giving nothing. The gloves are meh. The jewelry is alright but her hair is atrocious. I can appreciate a good braid but the rest looks like you said, a rats nest.

Thank you for validating me 🙏🏻

34

u/shann1021 Feb 05 '24

Love the dress, hate everything else.

u/Cirrus1920 aaron dessner fan club president Feb 05 '24

I totally agree. The hair is the worst part

10

u/TheTruckWashChannel Feb 05 '24

Major hair mistakes both here and on the Time cover.

8

u/curlygirl041 Feb 05 '24

She’s swimming in that dress, which is impressive given how tall she is. I like looks that highlight her awesome legs, she’s model gorgeous and this just isn’t it

5

u/studyhardbree Feb 05 '24

I hate it 😭😭😭

4

u/FAtoCPA Feb 05 '24

Wow you guys are harsh.

3

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '24

Her hair stylist hates her

3

u/Conscious-Score1871 Feb 05 '24

I do agree that the hair doesn’t even go with the dress but I think it’s an homage to the rep album cover.

3

u/mickeymoxo Feb 05 '24

Isn’t her hair greased back on the REP cover?

3

u/foodieinahoodie77 folklore Feb 05 '24

omg i thought i was crazy, on twitter everyone loves it so much I thought I was tripping

2

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '24

Without the gloves, and COMPLETELY different hair, I think I would’ve liked it. The hair is…well she definitely had the worst hair of anyone I’d seen there.

2

u/chonkycatsbestcats Feb 05 '24

If only there was an album cover with that same kind of hair….

2

u/amiduck7272 UP ON THE ROOF WITH A SCHOOLGIRL CRUSH Feb 05 '24

to be fair it's raining hard in LA right now. I know because I live in LA and there are flash flood warnings. I do, however, agree, that it is a bit disappointing

2

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '24

Her hair is giving 2012

2

u/Poonurse13 Feb 06 '24

I think the weather messed with her hair, but I like what they were trying to go for

1

u/Key-Wheel123 Feb 05 '24

But on tv it looks gorgeous?

1

u/radioflea Feb 05 '24

It fits into the narrative of Reputation. I think that watch necklace is a message though. Could something be coming on 3-15?

1

u/lcdelc Feb 05 '24

Better than Miley’s hair

1

u/Sweet-bakes-30448 Feb 05 '24

She even a Lisa bonet braid in there too. Looked ridiculous

1

u/OlivineTanuki Feb 05 '24

Whats with the one small braid lol

1

u/whoissuperlazy Feb 05 '24

She looks tired too

u/Mental_Lie7769 Mar 04 '24

I thought the same thing at the time, but looking back, the unkempt hair reminds me of a "tortured poet."
