Taylor Swift Wore a Gothy, Moon-Themed Manicure on the VMAs Crimson Carpet

Whereas there is no official uniform for members of the Tortured Poets Division, no matter Taylor Swift chooses to indicate up in often does the trick. Such was the case on the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, the place the artist was nominated for a whopping 10 awards (final 12 months’s rely was 4, and he or she gained all of them). This time round, Cher Horowitz was the division principal/precept inspiration—which is to say plaid was the secret.

On September 11, Swift arrived at New York’s UBS Enviornment in a yellow-and-black plaid Dior getup that included an identical bustier, overskirt, and choker. Beneath, she wore black sizzling pants and knee excessive boots, rounding out the outfit with strappy leather-based gloves that reached virtually to her shoulders. (I will say it!! It is giving Status. Particularly with these shiny black square-shaped nails.)

Make-up-wise, Swift caught with the darkish academia theme, swapping her signature shiny purple lipstick—she’s been rumored to favor Pat McGrath Labs’ MatteTrance system in “Elson”—for a brick purple shade. Her eyes had been totally and expertly lined (the look was possible the work of movie star make-up artist Lorrie Turk) and her complexion leaned extra matte than dancing-in-the-rain shiny.

When it got here to her well-known curls, the 34-year-old determined to brush out her texture in favor of tremendous prolonged, voluminous waves and a barely side-swept bang. Whereas her nails appeared easy at first look, the design was surprisingly intricate with celestial-themed silver particulars that echoed the phases of the moon.

And pay attention, I do know we mentioned she was giving Status (Taylor’s Model) final 12 months, however this 12 months I feel it is actually occurring. Name me a clown, however who might ignore a hair tease like that?
