Taylor debuted a number of new costumes over the course of her Eras Tour dates in Miami which kickstarted this final leg of the tour. Amongst them were two debuts in the Midnights section.

Of the three versions of this dress that Taylor debuted over the course of her three nights in Miami, I think this one is my favourite.

I know some people express bafflement over the Speak Now set. Why so many gowns for just a single song set? My answer? Why not! We’re officially up to nine variants for this portion of the show. How fun(ny) would double digits be?

In a night full of plot twists (Exhibit A: There will be no explanation there will just be a second reputationbodysuit), the one that actually has me the most stumped is this designer switch during the Midnights set. 

The acoustic set dress has now had three design iterations, but eight total variants (accounting for different coloured versions for each design). To have brought her back into the fold for the Eras Tour felt like such a warm and lovely nod, indeed, to eras past. 

Empires have been built and fallen faster than a new reputation bodysuit, but here we are. The longest running gag of the Eras Tour comes to a close after a consecutive 131 wears - we finally have Version 2 of the reputation bodysuit! 

The Eras Tour is back for its final run and with it, of course, new costumes. Taylor debuted a handful during last night’s opening North American leg date in Miami, Florida - most by Fausto Puglisi for Roberto Cavalli.

Back in office, indeed! Taylor truly in her element at a sold out stadium with a cat on her arm - we do love to see it. How I’ve missed her!

Even from far away, I know that this is an outfit I would personally copy + paste in a heartbeat. The combination of rich neutrals and oversized blazer truly have my heart.

This outfit continues a lot of ongoing TTPD trends. Namely, corsetry and a certain sensual appeal thanks to the rich materials used in the top and skirt.

Me: Touches down in Kansas City MO, calls the amateurs, and cuts them from the team. Taylor: Is frolicking about NYC.

Taylor’s game day fashion expands on her signature style with some “Chief” M.O.’s to soften her presence (as much as one can when you are Taylor Swift, main character of the universe).

Taylor recently attended the wedding of one of her cousins wearing a dress from a new-to-her brand: Montsand. The dress features a whimsical, woodland scene (omg folklore [Taylor’s Version]?!).

Taylor’s longtime makeup artist, Lorrie Turk, is often tight lipped about the lip products she likes to use on Taylor - though we have gotten a number of confirmations of her favourites over the years.

Clowning and egging (and bears - oh my!) aside this feels like a very classic Fall Taylor ‘fit. A knit crop, a pleated plaid mini, and boots are an easy, seasonal uniform.

Round two of season two of National Sportsball Observation. Last year, Taylor developed a reliable style playbook when it came to her game day fashion: women-owned/locally-owned brands, sentimental accessories, and vintage.

It isn’t all that surprising that Taylor would tap Monse for some of her looks. The two designers at the helm, Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, first met when they were working together at Oscar de la Renta - one of Taylor’s longstanding favourite brands.

A brief moment of pride for me because I happened to predict a different look from this exact same collection for the MTV VMAs. I’ll take the win!

All-in, this felt like a cohesive night of looks to underpin TTPD’s aesthetic. The runway’s interplay of proportions and bustier-like top are very TTPD - sensual, emboldened, playing with what to reveal and what to hide.

While some wondered if Taylor would appear at any NYFW shows this week, a sporty outing to watch a fellow American Taylor (Fritz) in the US Open final is just as fun. And such great symmetry!
