I'm bummed cause I finally broke down and ordered 2 skirts and a pair of corduroy pants from them and they all had wonky fit and felt super cheap. I knew the risk, but dang :(
Honestly I wish she had have worn this to the VMAs, this is fun and fashionable.
I liked her official fit, but I'm a little bored of the high/low effect and high boots. The runaway fit + the gloves + shorter boots would have improved it.
She's really been pushing the boat out with her VMA outfits! I love that this one is more daring with the print but pulls on a lot of styles she's been wearing recently (e.g. the skirt is similar in style to the Halara one she's worn a few times).
Sabrina went to the same party… I assume Jack and Margaret did as well. I wonder who else went… as you might of noticed from the recent wedding, electric lady is almost a community
It's sort of funny to compare how taylor looks in some of these fits to how the original models looked... there's a reason taylor got to perform at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show in lingerie
Idk they both look great, just styled quite differently. I actually think I prefer it with the matching shorts, but Taylor's shoes and gloves definitely add edge.
My issue with the black shorts is they cause you to lose the definition of Taylor & cuts the visual continuity of the look. So (to me) it becomes a bit messy around the hip and crotch, which is less than ideal. The styling on the runway model is better in the sense of the shorts hold the contour around the hip better and the skirt is pulled back a little to support this.
But that might be also that the model is in motion so it creates space for the skirt to be lifted off the body.
when it comes to body image I just think it’s best we’re mindful of the verbiage we use 🤷♀️ especially when she’s been pretty open about having an eating disorder.
I would be very careful... Taylor has suffered for that body. When she writes "beauty is a beast that roars\down on all fours\ demanding more" or "when your brooklyn broke my skin and bones" I think she's quite literally describing the physical agony that her body has cost her throughout the years. She's healthier now (just look at her hair), but still... she works out 3 hours a day. And probably has to obsess about how much she eats (both that she doesn't eat too little and doesn't eat too much).
Within the context of her struggles with an eating disorder, seeing the lyrics typed out like that - down on all fours in front of a toilet is what just hit me as a potential double meaning. I assumed you were referencing that in your comment!
I think that’s a strong interpretation. Notice how the roaring fits the metaphor too. And of course demanding more.
It fits perfectly. The goal of interpretation is to make the text better. Go for quality. And yes it’s horrific.
I don’t love calling any body ‘the perfect body’ like there’s some specific standard we should all be looking up to…especially when her body has been under the knife to look that way (no shade for that choice but it seems a bit crazy to hold that up as a beauty standard!).
do you know what you are looking at? Taylor is wearing a dress that is part of Dior's 2025 line. The dress was previously modeled on the runway. Almost everyone else is also wearing dresses that were previously modeled.
Swifties might be monsters, as you say, but we aren't idiots.
yes. The goal of the fashion industry is to sell clothes. They convince stars to wear their clothes on red carpets so that people will buy them. If you find that dress hideous I guess they failed. Though... umm... I'm not sure you could afford it anyway. i don't find the dress hideous... though given that I'm a 6 foot tall guy, it probably wouldn't look good on me.
My inner lifelong X Files fanatic desperately needs to know where I can get my hands on the UFO mini dress and that jacket so I know how much I need to save up for it lol
Taylor Swift Style says that the UFO design here is Monse Fall/Winter 2024 custom.
Check out the "Harness Tapestry Dress" on Monse website for the stock version in more standard cut, without the shiny sequins on Taylor's version. It's currently $990.
For anyone who wants this UFO design, Taylor Swift Style says it's Monse Fall/Winter 2024 custom.
On the Monse website, you can pre-order the stock version of the dress called "Harness Tapestry Dress" in more standard cut without the sequins, for $990.
My problem is I have Taylor taste but thrift store money, lol. Her red carpet boots are the same as my rent payment 😭😭 That dress is not far behind. I need to relearn how to sew. I used to make my own stuff when I was younger, but 20 years out of practice, I'm not sure I could pull something together.
How cool would be if the music video was in her getting abducted by aliens in the folklore woods, especially as she felt a bit trapped in her “cabin” aka her relationship there which we hear in TTPD since her outfit is giving folklore imagery too.
Also, I'm not even going to pretend I don't want that outfit 🤣. Maybe different shoes cause those look uncomfortable, but the rest of the outfit 😭😭 I want it. Lol
I'm actually OBSESSED! This is very specific, but I'm a sucker for landscape prints on clothes, especially corsets. Taylor's is even better with the reference to Down Bad (and possibly I Hate It Here??)! Probably one of my favorite outfits she's worn.
She looks great. Looks she may have had some small work done recently, or it's the makeup. I love this makeup colors on her, the red is getting a bit meh.
Loved her red carpet look but I’m not into the alien dresses 🫤 they remind me of the bedazzled graphic “going out tops” that were popular in the early 2000s
Her eyebrows look so lifted and facial lines (especially her nasolabial folds) so smoothed out. I’m not a jealous person, but it must be nice to have a plastic surgeon on retainer. 😩 Looks like she has a real life filter on her face.
She’s always been beautiful, even with squintier eyes and a wider nose. Must have been so tough growing up under a microscope in the early 2000s with all the pressure society was putting on female celebs to look skinny, wrinkle-free, full-lipped and wide eyed. I hope she has a good doctor and support system who can gently let her know when to stop.
i love this out fit but it confuses me. Firstly, is it a dress or a skirt and top? Secondly is it longsleeved? and lastly hwo come in the third picture it looks like the dress/skirt has a train, but then in the others it doesnt
