Taylor Swift goes to London in trendy French girl style shoes.
Taylor Swift joked that she sees “everything” her fans predict, monitor, and plead for online. That apparently includes their street style wish lists, as evidenced by her recent night out in which she paired the French girl shoe trend with a Vivienne Westwood skirt suit.
Taylor Swift is hosting an Eras Tour wrap party at London's members club Annabelle on an auspicious day for Swiffy fans (August 13, after her lucky number), wearing Vivienne Westwood's Fall 2024 She chose a two-piece checked skirt suit from the collection. The set consisted of a cropped blazer with a nipped-in waist and a wrap-effect mini skirt. Underneath, she wore a white ruffled “wizard” top from the same label. Perhaps it was a cheeky nod to the magic she will create for her fans at her sold-out second run at Wembley Stadium this weekend.
The sharp tailoring of this suit and the energetic combination of Cher Horowitz and Austin Powers are nothing like Swift's last outfit in London, a loose crocheted dress and Gucci heels. This time, she added a Vivienne Westwood embossed mini bag.
Westwood's signature plaid pattern covered the entire two-piece, this time in tones of purple, pistachio green, and orange. (Photos of the full look were shown at Marie Claire on Wednesday, August 14. Swift and her stylist, Joseph Cassel, gave the look a '70s punk look with heeled mary jane shoes, a French girl trend.
Swift's pair were from Sézane, a Parisian brand she has worn several times, in dusty green patent leather. (They are in dusty green patent leather (her exact pair is sold out, but similar options are available in other colors online). The shoes are also a nod to the shoe trend sweeping the streets of France's style capital, as well as New York and London. From Miu Miu to Simone Rocha to Sandy Liang, the feminine mary jane with heel or platform pumps is everywhere, and local brands like Carel and Repetto have timeless versions, too.
Sarah Chappelle, author of Taylor Swift Style, has extensively covered the pop star's outfits and finds that mixing luxury pieces (like Vivienne Westwood's skirt suit) with affordable ones (like Cezan's French girl shoes) is a key component of the ” down-badged” singer's style is noted as a hallmark of her style. However, this look is a bit special and may anticipate fans' favorite outfits.
The fashion Instagram fan account “You Belong in This” meticulously tracks new runway collections and archival vintage that Swift may incorporate into her street style. In March, account owner Cookie Cohen Photoshopped a paparazzi photo of a Vivienne Westwood skirt suit Swift would wear in August, along with a line from Evermore's piano ballad “champagne problems,” and cast it as a winter look the singer should at least consider wearing. It was distributed as a winter look that the singer should at least consider wearing. Her nearly 20,000 followers “liked” the plaid skirt suit at the time. months later, they realized that Cohen's request had finally made it to Swift's actual closet, and swarmed to comment.
“She is literally wearing this today. It's insane,” one follower wrote. Another follower asked the question that every follower wondered: “Is Taylor lurking on this page?
It would be a huge vote of confidence in Cohen's sense of style if Taylor Swift was actually referring to her fans' favorite style accounts. Of course, there is another explanation for this look besides Swift's chronic online presence. She is currently immersed in the Vivienne Westwood era.
In early 2024, Taylor Swift began incorporating Vivienne Westwood looks into her wardrobe en masse to match the moody fashions of her latest studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. The designer's romantic penchant for corsets and draping reflected the perilous interiority of Swift's new songs. The white corset top and the album's lyrics written in calligraphy along the skirt are distinctive.
Swift wore Vivienne Westwood pants, a coordinated brocade corset, and a watch choker that fans interpreted as an Easter egg when she went out to dinner with friends before and after the first set of her London show (for what, we still not sure). On a double date with boyfriends Travis Kells, Patrick Mahomes, and Brittany Mahomes, Swift layered a baby blue drop-waist dress over a plaid Vivienne Westwood corset. She also used Vivienne Westwood for her “Fortnite” music video, wearing an extravagant ruffled top for the pivotal mental hospital scene.
Swift wore a Vivienne Westwood plaid suit the night before her London show, the last stop on her European Era tour. Perhaps Swift was paying homage to one of London's most famous female designers in the capital of fashion. Maybe she just wanted a colorful coordinated set to entertain her dancers, band, and crew. Or maybe Taylor Swift is sensitive to the wishes of her most stylish fans and has decided to accommodate their costume requests instead of singing.
