Taylor Swift is continuing her show-stopping style hot streak at the 2024 VMAs!
The chart-topper commanded the red carpet at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards in one of her most mesmerizing — and daring — looks yet.
Putting a completely sexy spin on her love of all things prep, Swift teamed a yellow plaid corset with an attached skirt with a pair black hot pants, thigh-high boots and bicep-length caged gloves. She topped the look with extra vampy glam (the smoky eye!) and even ditch her signature red lip.
Her hair was styled with mess, textured waves and side-swept bangs. The edgy vibe of the look feels Reputation-coded, and left fans unearthing easter eggs.
And of course she was bejeweled, wearing 30-carat Lorraine Schwartz pear shape canary yellow diamond earrings surrounded by black Jade to play up the the yellow plaid.
Swift scored the most nominations of any artist this year with 12, including artist of the year, video of the year and song of the year. Her “Fortnight” collaborator Post Malone trails her with nine noms.
Last year, fans were calling out Swift for serving Reputation vibes with her look (she’s yet to announce her re-recording of the album) when she arrived at the event in a skin-baring Versace gown featuring a thigh-high slit and gold buttons along the ruched bodice. She topped off her look with layers of necklaces and black stilettos, even skipping her signature red lip for a natural, mauve-y shade.
At the time, Versace’s Creative Director Donatella Versace shared a sweet note on Instagram about creating the look for her.
She wrote, “@taylorswift, I couldn’t have been prouder to design this dress for your gorgeous entrance to the VMAs tonight. You have dominated the world with your tour and your music is timeless. You’re already winning big tonight! Love you ♥️”
In 2022, Swift famously made a surprise appearance in a crystal-covered Oscar de la Renta minidress featuring an open back. She paired the glittering design (and made the whole carpet shimmer) with matching Christian Louboutin heels, Lorraine Schwartz jewels and her signature red lip.
Swift tapped beauty icon Pat McGrath for her makeup moment. McGrath called the singer her “angel” on Instagram.
The 2024 VMAs comes on the heels of a very busy week for the star, who is on hiatus from her history-making Eras tour until October.
