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

Whereas there isn’t any official uniform for members of the Tortured Poets Division, no matter Taylor Swift chooses to point out 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 Area in a yellow-and-black plaid Dior getup that included an identical bustier, overskirt, and choker. Beneath, she wore black scorching 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 Repute. Particularly with these shiny black square-shaped nails.)

Make-up-wise, Swift caught with the darkish academia theme, swapping her signature vibrant purple lipstick—she’s been rumored to favor Pat McGrath Labs’ MatteTrance system in “Elson”—for a brick purple shade. Her eyes had been absolutely and expertly lined (the look was seemingly 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 hear, I do know we mentioned she was giving Repute (Taylor’s Model) final 12 months, however this 12 months I believe it is actually occurring. Name me a clown, however who might ignore a hair tease like that?
