Out and About in London
Worn On: 6/23/24 // London, England
the commentary
Ever inexhaustible, Taylor finished her three show stint at Wembley last night (she’s set to return there for five more Eras shows in August) and proceeded to head straight from the stage and out into London to celebrate.
Taylor’s not a stranger to ‘boho’ styles like this - but it has been awhile since we’ve seen her give a bell sleeve dress a go. Over the years, she’s worn many loose minis in this silhouette (Fashion History incoming on that). This particular one is more mod than most thanks to its retro colour palette and crocheted fabrication.
In truth, it feels a bit closer to where I anticipated Midnights fashion to land - flipping between ultraglam pinup looks and rock/boho ensembles in the vein of Stevie Nicks with a side of patchouli incense. But could I imagine strapping myself into a TTPD-appropriate bustier top and mini skirt after being on stage for three hours? In that context, I’d also be opting for a loose, swingy dress (or pajamas, let’s be real).
Myra Crochet Mini Dress
VRG GRL Worn In: Apricot
The dress itself is from a new-to-her Australian-based brand VRG GRL who’s been around since 2008 and donate 10% of their proceeds to charities the founders handpick.
On the styling front, loose waves feel right for the outfit. I appreciate the consistent aesthetic and tonal tie-in from her accessories straight to the coloured stripes of her crocheted dress via her buttery yellow Gucci slides and a brown Stella bag.
This brand combination is a great nod to her Style Pillars - the high/low. Mixing a designer piece (particularly an older, repeated one that she first wore back in 2019 in the “You Need To Calm Down” music video) with a newer, ‘accessible’ piece is a key part of what keeps Taylor’s style relatable and interesting for fans.
