A Definitive Guide to the Costumes of the Eras Tour

PLEASE DON’T CLICK AWAY. Just hear me out.

Yes, I am a Taylor Swift fan. I’ve been listening to her music since I was like 7. I even went to the Eras Tour. Sue me.

I’m not here to preach to you about how you should feel about Taylor Swift. That’s your business. I’m here to talk about her clothes.

Taylor gets a lot of criticism for her style, and I do find her looks to be very hit-or-miss. That being said, she has a really incredible talent for visual storytelling. Even when I don’t personally like something she wears, there’s always a lot of intention behind how she dresses and what narrative she’s trying to create. To me, that aspect of fashion is just as important as aesthetics, especially for a performer.

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I have a pretty encyclopedic knowledge of the outfits Taylor has worn. Sarah Chapelle’s Taylor Swift Style blog was my first true foray into the online fashion world, and I’ve been following her religiously ever since.

There is a ton of Eras Tour-related content out there, but one thing I’ve never been able to find is a comprehensive guide to every single outfit on the tour. So I made one. I’ve compiled photos, commentary and as much behind-the-scenes info as I could possibly find for each of the nearly 100 outfits worn on the tour.

For this post, I’m going to focus on the main costumes (leotards, dresses, jackets etc.). The accessories (jewelry, shoes) will have to be their own post because, frankly, this is already a ridiculously long post.

Welcome to the Eras Tour. It’s been a long time coming.


Lover

Pink and Blue Lover Bodysuit (Versace)

The world’s very first look at the Eras Tour was this sparkling cotton-candy colored bodysuit by Versace, also worn in the tour movie. I really do love the texture created by the different sizes of sequins, and this color palette is a perfect introduction to the Lover Era.


Blue and Gold Lover Bodysuit (Versace)

Another colorway of the original, this blue and gold version was most famously worn for the tour’s final three shows.


Purple Lover Bodysuit (Versace)

Embed from Getty Images

My personal favorite is this purple iteration of the Lover bodysuit. I know the tassels are divisive, but I don’t hate them. I really like how this bodysuit looks in a darker colorway, and I like the sunset vibes of the orange accents.


Pink Lover Bodysuit (Versace)

Embed from Getty Images

A darker shade of pink than the original bodysuit, I think this one is a close second favorite for me.


Orange Lover Bodysuit (Versace)

Embed from Getty Images

When Taylor released The Tortured Poets Department in April 2024, she also debuted new versions of nearly every costume in the show. For Lover, that meant a new orange and fuchsia bodysuit.


Silver “The Man” Jacket (Versace)

Embed from Getty Images

When Taylor transitioned into “The Man,” she put a sparkling blazer on over her bodysuit to create a more businesslike look. Each bodysuit had its own coordinating blazer, and this one went with the pink and blue version. I don’t particularly like this costume because I don’t think it moves well when Taylor is dancing, and I really think putting everyone in business attire for the next song in the setlist, “You Need to Calm Down,” was a weird choice. Like, sure. Let’s all wear gray corporate clothes for a song that’s supposed to be celebrating diversity and the queer community. Whatever.


Black “The Man” Jacket (Versace)

This blazer, which was the only one to feature a pinstripe pattern instead of being a solid color, went with the blue and gold bodysuit (although I do think it was once worn with the pink and blue one).


Purple “The Man” Jacket (Versace)

Embed from Getty Images

Some people argue that this blazer is actually blue. I think it’s purple. Decide for yourself. This one reminds me of another ambiguously colored blazer Taylor wore to perform “Lover” at the 2019 VMAs. This version was worn with the purple bodysuit, replacing the silver jacket she wore with it when it debuted.


Pink “The Man” Jacket (Versace)

Embed from Getty Images

A Barbie pink version to match the pink bodysuit. Thank god for this colorway bringing some much-needed color to this portion of the show. It also harkens back to the brightly colored Versace blazers Taylor wore on red carpets back in 2019.


Orange “The Man” Jacket (Versace)

Embed from Getty Images

You guessed it. This one goes with the orange bodysuit.


Fearless

Gold Fringe Fearless Dress (Roberto Cavalli)

Embed from Getty Images

All but one of the Fearless dresses were designed by Roberto Cavalli. See the designer’s sketch for this one here. The gold color is an obvious choice for the Fearless era, and the fringed dress harkens back to the ones Taylor used to wear on stage during her country days. It’s also worth noting that the iconic gold dress from the Speak Now Tour was also Roberto Cavalli.


Gold Noodle Fearless Dress (Roberto Cavalli)

Embed from Getty Images

My feelings on this one are mixed. On the one hand, I like the idea of trying a new interpretation of the fringed dress. On the other hand, I just don’t love the noodles. I also don’t understand why the bodice is gold and the fringe is white, but whatever. See the designer’s sketch here.


Silver Noodle Fearless Dress (Roberto Cavalli)

Embed from Getty Images

I keep going back and forth on whether I prefer the gold or silver version of this dress. I feel like the silver looks better with the white fringe, but the gold looks better overall. See the designer’s sketch for this version here.


Silver, Black and Gold Fearless Dress (Naeem Khan)

Embed from Getty Images

The only Fearless dress not designed by Roberto Cavalli is also one of the few costume pieces from the tour that could be bought off the rack (if, of course, you had $5,000 lying around). See a closer look on the designer’s Instagram. I really like this costume because it reminds me a lot of something Taylor would actually have worn during the Fearless era. It especially bears a lot of similarities to this Mandalay dress from the Fearless Tour.


Black and Gold Fearless Dress (Roberto Cavalli)

This dress, which borrows a pattern from Roberto Cavalli’s Ray of Gold collection, is my favorite. See the designer’s sketch here.


Blue and Silver Fearless Dress (Roberto Cavalli)

Embed from Getty Images

Let’s get it out of the way. I do not like this dress. I think it looks like Taylor spilled a blue raspberry slushie all over herself. That being said, I don’t think incorporating some blue into the Fearless set was necessarily a bad idea. While the Fearless era is more associated with white and gold, Taylor was wearing blue Kaufmanfranco when she won Album of the Year for this album at the Grammys, so it’s not completely out of place. See the designer’s sketch here.


RED

“A Lot Going on at the Moment” T-Shirt (Ashish)

Embed from Getty Images

This t-shirt by sequin legend Ashish, is a callback to the “Not a Lot Going On at the Moment” t-shirt worn in the “22” music video. The designer shared a sketch and some in-progress photos on Instagram.


“Who’s Taylor Swift Anyway? Ew.” T-Shirt (Ashish)

Another t-shirt, referencing the ad-lib in “22.”


“We Are Never Getting Back Together. Like Ever.” T-Shirt (Ashish)

Embed from Getty Images

This one references the ad-lib in “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”


“This is Not Taylor’s Version” T-Shirt (Ashish)

Embed from Getty Images

Introduced following the release of The Tortured Poets Department, this version of the “22” T-shirt references Taylor’s re-recordings of four of her albums following the acquisition of the master recordings by Scooter Braun. It was a whole thing.


“I Bet You Think About Me” T-Shirt Ashish)

Embed from Getty Images

Ashish posted some in progress photos of this design, inspired by vault track “I Bet You Think About Me,” on Instagram.

Side note: I was in the crowd the one and only time that song has ever been performed 🙂


“I Knew U Were Trouble” T-Shirt (Ashish)

Embed from Getty Images

This one references “I Knew You Were Trouble.” You get the picture.


RED Bodysuit (Ashish)

Embed from Getty Images

This bodysuit is a creative way to switch between looks without a full outfit change. The ombre effect makes it look like Taylor is just wearing black shorts under her t-shirt during “22” before she takes it off to reveal that it’s actually a full bodysuit. And of course it’s red, because this is the RED era. I don’t love this bodysuit, but it’s not the worst. It was also altered partway through the tour to make the straps thinner (here’s what it originally looked like). See the designer’s sketch here.


RED Coat (Ashish)

Embed from Getty Images

This duster coat, worn to perform “All Too Well” and occasionally “Nothing New,” is one of very few pieces that remained constant throughout the entire tour. See the designer’s sketch and an in-progress photo here.


Speak Now

Gold Speak Now Dress (Nicole + Felicia)

Embed from Getty Images

Worn on both opening and closing night, this ballgown was affectionately referred to by fans as the “everything bagel” dress. The Speak Now era leaned heavily into fairytale imagery, so I love the choice to represent it visually using princess-like ballgowns. Designer Nicole + Felicia posted closer looks at this dress here and here. If you’re into fabulous ballgowns, Nicole + Felicia also designed two other dresses for the tour, as well as the wedding dress for the “I Bet You Think About Me” music video.


Pink Speak Now Dress (Zuhair Murad)

Embed from Getty Images

Okay, so technically the “official” color of the Speak Now Era is purple. But I’ve always associated this album more with pink, and this dress perfectly captures that imagery. It’s not as strong as some of the other variants when it comes to texture and embellishments, but the color is just so gorgeous with the pink and purple stage lights that I have to love it.


Flower Speak Now Dress (Elie Saab)

Embed from Getty Images

This dress, dubbed the “tissue paper” dress, was not very popular. It disappeared early in the tour after being worn only eight times, and I was actually in the audience at one of the few shows where it was worn. This design really departs from the silhouette we see in the rest of the Speak Now gowns, with long sleeves and a more fitted skirt. I also find that it looks very heavy, almost dragging Taylor down with it instead of giving the appearance of floating the way the others do. I also think the flower embellishments look very heavy-handed, which doesn’t do the dress any favors.


Silver Speak Now Dress (Elie Saab)

Embed from Getty Images

The rarest of all the Speak Now variants, this dress was only ever worn twice. I think that’s a damn shame because it really is a beautiful gown. The embellishments look like Taylor has been wrapped in silver leaf, and the sheer fabric of the skirt plays so well with the lights on the stage. There were rumors (never confirmed) that a fire backstage destroyed several costumes early in the tour, and I suspect that might have been the fate of this particular gown.


Purple Tiered Speak Now Dress (Nicole + Felicia)

Embed from Getty Images

The “cupcake” dress. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. I will say that the fabric and embellishments on the skirt are really beautiful, and I love the shades of purple. The designer posted videos showing a closer look at the dress and the process of creating it, as well as some behind-the-scenes photos.


Blue Speak Now Dress (Nicole + Felicia)

Embed from Getty Images

I will never forget the day I saw this dress for the first time on a grainy livestream. For the uninitiated, Taylor announced 1989 (Taylor’s Version) at one of her shows. She hinted at the announcement throughout the show by introducing several blue (the color associated with 1989) costumes. There had been theories leading up to the show that the announcement would be made, and I knew when I saw this dress that the rumors were true. This is one of my favorite Speak Now variants. I’m a huge fan of the halter neckline, and the embellishments all over the dress really are stunning. The designer posted some behind-the-scenes videos showing a closer look at the dress and the process of creating it. You can also see a sketch here.


Purple and Silver Speak Now Dress (Reem Acra)

Embed from Getty Images

I’m always going back and forth, but I think this is the variant I like the best. It’s such a lovely color, and the delicate texture on the skirt is just enchanting (see what I did there?). This dress was introduced following the release of The Tortured Poets Department, and the style and embellishments remind me a lot of the one Taylor wore to perform “Enchanted” way back in ye olden days (2011), also custom made by Reem Acra. The Eras Tour version appears to have been inspired by this similar dress from Reem Acra’s Glamour a la Reem collection. See a closer look here.


Purple Swirls Speak Now Dress

Alright, listen. I looked as hard as I could, but I couldn’t find a decent photo. I don’t know who designed it. I wouldn’t even be sure it was real if I didn’t have this video I found on Twitter. If your name is Joseph Cassell (Taylor’s stylist), please let me know the secrets behind this dress.


Teal Speak Now Dress (Reem Acra)

Embed from Getty Images

This isn’t my favorite of the Speak Now gowns, but I do love the dramatic train. I think this teal shade is just a little too green-adjacent to work well with the pinks and purples on the stage, and I’m not a huge fan of the square neckline. The details on the dress are beautiful up close, like raindrops falling down, but from a distance they just don’t translate that well. See the designer’s sketch here.


reputation

Black and Red reputation Bodysuit (Roberto Cavalli)

Embed from Getty Images

This outfit is interesting because, in my experience, it seems to be beloved by swifties and hated by fashion-lovers. The biggest criticisms I’ve seen are that a) the missing sleeve and pant leg shouldn’t have been on the same side, and b) the leg hole should have been cut higher up. Those things honestly don’t bother me. I think it gives the impression that the snakes are slowly taking over Taylor’s body from one side, which is thematically appropriate for the reputation era. This look also harkens back to the dress Taylor wore to perform “Don’t Blame Me” on the Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018, with a wide slit exposing one leg.

There was also a whole conspiracy that the snakes on the bodysuit were “shedding,” but it looks like there had just been some kind of overlay put over parts of the sequins to protect them from catching during the show. For the record, I did not subscribe to this theory. See a sketch of this costume here.


Black and Gold reputation Bodysuit (Roberto Cavalli)

Embed from Getty Images

The reputation set became infamous throughout for never seeing a single outfit change. With less than 20 shows to go, Taylor shocked the crowd by unveiling the prophesized gold reputation bodysuit. If you watch a video from the night she walked out wearing this, you can hear the moment the crowd realized it was a new costume. You just had to be there. This isn’t an exact replica of the red version, as the snakes have more texture and detail, but it’s pretty similar. See the designer’s sketch here.


folklore

Purple folklore Dress (Alberta Ferretti)

Embed from Getty Images

I hated this dress when I first saw it. Since then, I’ve come around. It’s definitely not my favorite (I still don’t like those ruffles), but it does the job. Like all the folklore costumes, it was designed by Alberta Ferretti. I personally far prefer the designer’s sketch to the way the actual dress turned out. I will say that the lace and sparkly embellishments are a beautiful way of adding some interest to make this otherwise plain dress stage ready. It’s also unique in that it’s the only folklore variant with full sleeves. See the designer’s sketch here.


White folklore Dress (Alberta Ferretti)

Embed from Getty Images

This one I like a lot better. For starters, I love the movement of the hanging sleeves. I also find the white color to be a better fit for the folklore era. Technically folklore‘s “official” color is gray, but that wouldn’t make for very exciting costumes, so I understand why we don’t see a gray variant on tour. See the designer’s sketch here. I could honestly look at Alberta Ferretti’s sketches all day.


Pink folklore Dress (Alberta Ferretti)

Embed from Getty Images

This is the version I saw at my show! This design actually ended up pretty different from the sketch, with the crossover skirt being replaced by a vertical slit down the middle to reveal an underskirt. It also looks like it was originally intended to be made from a lighter, sheerer fabric, but for whatever reason they decided to go with this heavier option. This dress also disappeared midway through the tour, and I don’t believe we ever saw it again after the setlist was revamped following the release of The Tortured Poets Department.


Green folklore Dress (Alberta Ferretti)

Embed from Getty Images

This is a fan favorite. I find this to be a really beautiful shade of green that makes from some incredible photos, and I love the vine motif and cutouts. This dress appears to be an interpretation of this look from Alberta Ferretti’s Spring 2023 ready-to-wear collection, and the added hanging sleeves are a great way to fit this dress into the general aesthetic of the folklore set. See the designer’s sketch here.


Blue folklore Dress (Alberta Ferretti)

Embed from Getty Images

This dress was introduced the night 1989 (Taylor’s Version) was announced, and I do not particularly care for it. It’s very similar in design to the pink variant, but it’s not an exact copy. This version’s lace detailing wraps around Taylor’s waist instead of traveling all the way down the skirt, and the sleeves are also much longer. My primary issue with this dress is that I think the thing fabric makes it look cheap, and it almost feels like a knockoff version of the pink dress. I do love the designer’s sketch, though.


Yellow folklore/evermore Dress (Alberta Ferretti)

Embed from Getty Images

Another colorway of the white dress we saw earlier in the tour, this dress was introduced when the folklore and evermore sets were combined midway through the tour. I think the use of a warmer color palette was an effort to combine the aesthetics of the two eras, preventing evermore from being completely swallowed up by the folklore set. See the designer’s sketch here.


Berry folklore/evermore Dress (Alberta Ferretti)

Embed from Getty Images

I really do like this dress, which was featured in the tour’s final show. It’s rather out of place in the woodsy folklore/evermore set, but it’s such a beautiful color that I’ll let it slide. Here’s the designer’s sketch.


evermore

Orange evermore Dress (Etro)

Embed from Getty Images

Alright, let’s clear this up once and for all. There is one version of this dress. There is not a separate yellow version. It looks different in different lighting, and it’s certainly more of a yellow-orange, but it’s just one dress. You can disagree with me, but you’ll be wrong.


Bronze evermore Dress (Etro)

I love this dress. It’s one of my favorites of the entire tour, and it’s a shame we got to see it so few times. I think the autumnal reds and browns that show up in different lighting are so beautiful and so perfect for the evermore aesthetic. I’ll also note that this dress had some alterations made to it shortly after it was introduced, so for most of the tour it had a lower waistline than we see here. See the updated version in this video.


Green “Willow” Cloak (Etro)

Embed from Getty Images

Inspired by this scene from the “Willow” music video, the live performance invokes imagery of a witch performing rituals in the forest. I don’t love the cloaks, but I appreciate the look Taylor is going for and this is definitely my favorite of the two.


Brown “Willow” Cloak (Etro)

When the folklore and evermore sets were combined, the sleeveless evermore dresses were replaced with folklore era costumes, many of which had long hanging sleeves. My theory is that this version of the cloak, which features armholes, was introduced to help disguise the dress sleeves and create a more seamless combination of the folklore and evermore aesthetics. See the designer’s sketch here.


1989

Pink 1989 Set (Version 1) (Roberto Cavalli)

Embed from Getty Images

I’m actually a huge fan of the original 1989 set. It feels like an updated take on the ensemble Taylor wore to perform “Shake it Off” on the 1989 World Tour back in 2015. I really love the movement and texture created by the beading, and I think this is a great color for Taylor. See the designer’s sketch here.


Green 1989 Set (Version 1) (Roberto Cavalli)

Embed from Getty Images

I’m not a huge fan of the green version because I find that the color of the base fabric doesn’t match the beading. This is another color that was featured on the 1989 World Tour. See the designer’s sketch here.


Orange 1989 Set (Version 1) (Roberto Cavalli)

Embed from Getty Images

This is my favorite (and the one I got to see live). It’s also the only colorway of this set that wasn’t lifted from the 1989 World Tour.


Blue 1989 Set (Version 1) (Roberto Cavalli)

Embed from Getty Images

Oh look, another callback to the 1989 World Tour. This highly anticipated blue set was first worn the night Taylor announced 1989 Taylor’s Version. See the designer’s sketch here.


Orange 1989 Set (Version 2) (Roberto Cavalli)

Embed from Getty Images

When the setlist was revamped, Taylor retired all the old 1989 sets and replaced them with this new silhouette. She generally played mix-and-match with the top and skirt colors (the first iteration was blue and pink), but I’ve included all the matching sets in this post for convenience (and because I like them better).

To be frank, I am not a fan of this style. I think the cat head detail is what really throws me off the most. In Taylor’s defense, this look does feel very on-brand for performing songs from an album released in the mid-2010s. Skater skirts, crop tops and ombre were all very on trend at that time, so I at least see what she’s going for. This look also has some similarities to the ensemble she wore to perform “New Romantics” on the 1989 World Tour.

The only color that was never worn as a matching set on the tour was green. In fact, of all 36 possible color combinations, only two went unworn: all green and green top with yellow skirt. There’s a fan theory that Taylor planned to wear these combinations for the shows in Vienna (which were canceled due to an alleged terrorist plot), but this was never confirmed.


The Tortured Poets Department

“Fortnight” Dress (Vivienne Westwood)

Embed from Getty Images

I love the concept of the “Fortnight” dresses, but I don’t love the execution. The lyrics written on the skirt are thematically perfect for the “tortured artist” vibes of this whole era, and I really like the idea of the corseted white dress. However, I feel like it ended up looking like a cheap knockoff of this Maticevski dress from the “Fortnight” music video. See a closer look here.


“Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” Dress (Vivienne Westwood)

Embed from Getty Images

An alternate version, this one has the lyrics to “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” written all over it. I definitely prefer the original version over this one. I really loved the way that one had the lyrics written over and over again, one after the other, and I think that imagery is lost here.


“The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” Coat

Embed from Getty Images

This is a fantastic costume piece. It’s so perfect for this marching band sequence, and I consider it to be one of the sartorial highlights of the tour. I’m not 100% sure about the designer, but I believe this coat is the work of Taylor’s longtime stage costumer Jessica Jones.


Gold “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” Set (Vivienne Westwood)

Embed from Getty Images
Embed from Getty Images

The costumes for “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” reminded me immediately of the ringleader costume Taylor wore to perform “We are Never Ever Getting Back Together” on the RED Tour in 2013. I definitely think the showgirl aesthetic makes sense for this song (perhaps a nod to her next album?), and the gold set is one of my favorites. Taylor did a bit of mixing and matching with these outfits, and the gold jacket was worn with both a black set and a gold top. Gold shorts were made for this look, but they were never actually worn onstage. We only saw them in a behind-the-scenes clip from the “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” music video.


White “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” Set (Vivienne Westwood)

Embed from Getty Images

A white version, worn for the final shows of the tour. I didn’t like this one at first, but it’s grown on me a lot. The white and silver are a perfect representation of the themes of this song, particularly this performance of it. Taylor dies onstage at the end of “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” and the interlude before “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” shows her being revived to get back on her feet and perform for us once again. Dressing her in white, almost as if she’s the specter of a showgirl past, is a great creative choice.


Silver “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” Set (Vivienne Westwood)

This one is my favorite. It was worn with both black and silver (seen here) versions of the top/shorts set.

Acoustic

Pink Cold-Shoulder Dress (Jessica Jones)

Embed from Getty Images

Ah, the surprise song dresses. I have a love/hate relationship with almost every variant of this costume. I will say that the pink (no, it’s not red) version, worn in the tour movie, is less offensive to me than some of the others. It looks nice, and I actually don’t hate the shoulder ruffles. My issue with these dresses is mostly with the skirt. That last tier just looks very limp to me. I’m not sure what went wrong exactly, but it’s not something I’m a fan of.

The original four surprise song dresses were worn as cover-ups over their color-corresponding 1989 sets.

Of the available options, this is my favorite.

This is the dress Taylor was wearing when she announced 1989 (Taylor’s Version).


Pink Sundress (Roberto Cavalli)

Embed from Getty Images

When the setlist was revamped, the original surprise song dresses were replaced with this silhouette. I like this one even less than the original. I think it’s a combination of the fit just not being quite right and the high-low skirt being far too extreme for my liking. I will say that I love the colors on these dresses, and they are beautiful in motion. See the designer’s sketch here.

These dresses were worn as coverups over the “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” sets. There was no correlation between the dress color and the set worn under it.

Later in the tour, the three solid-colored (ish) sundresses were replaced by a new set of more colorful variants. After this, the only one we saw again was the orange, worn when Sabrina Carpenter came out to perform “Espresso,” “Please Please Please” and “Is It Over Now?” See the designer’s sketch here.


Purple Sundress (Roberto Cavalli)

Of the post-setlist-revamp dresses, this one is my favorite. It was also worn for the final shows. See the designer’s sketch here.

Midnights

“Lavender Haze” Coat (Version 1) (Oscar de la Renta)

Another favorite of mine is this faux fur coat by Oscar de la Renta. It really captures the 70s vibes of the Midnights era, and it’s a great fit for the performance of “Lavender Haze.” Taylor wore a similar coat by Free People in the “Lavender Haze” music video.

The two versions of this coat are very similar. The main difference is that this version features beaded embellishments that almost invoke raindrops dripping from the coat.


“Lavender Haze” Coat (Version 2) (Jenny Packham)

Embed from Getty Images

It really isn’t over until it’s over. Introduced with only 18 shows to go, this coat is similar to the original without any of the beaded details. I also found this version to look… fluffier? I remember seeing someone on Instagram say that it looked like the coat had been washed and conditioned, and I think that’s an apt way of putting it.


Silver T-Shirt Dress (Oscar de la Renta)

Embed from Getty Images

A lot of people don’t like the t-shirt dresses Taylor wore to perform “Anti-Hero,” but I think they’re fun. This dress is a little different from the other variants because, in addition to being a different color, there’s a lot more variety in the embellishments, giving the dress more texture.

My personal favorite is this dark purple t-shirt dress by Oscar de la Renta. I think the darker color creates a really nice contrast with the “Lavender Haze” coat, and it’s just generally a really beautiful color.

Raindrop Midnights Bodysuit (Oscar de la Renta)

Embed from Getty Images

Of all the Midnights bodysuits, this one feels the most thematically appropriate for “Midnight Rain.” It disappeared midway through the tour, which is a shame because it really was beautiful. I love the way the beading evokes raindrops on Taylor’s legs. Designer Oscar de la Renta posted a closer look at this bodysuit on Instagram, as well as a video showing the creation process.


Scallop Midnights Bodysuit (Zuhair Murad)

Worn in the tour movie (and at my show), this bodysuit was first introduced in Las Vegas. With it, the iconic garter also made its tour debut, cementing the burlesque look of this section of the show (particularly the performance of “Vigilante Shit”). Take a closer look on the designer’s Instagram.


Cutout Midnights Bodysuit (Zuhair Murad)

I want to love this outfit. I really do. The color is beautiful. The embellishments are beautiful. Unfortunately, the cutouts are not so beautiful, and I don’t think I’m alone in saying they ruin the look for me.

Worn at the final show, this might be my favorite iteration of the Midnights bodysuit. Unlike certain other bodysuits on the tour, this is a great use of cutouts. I’m normally not a fan of a keyhole neckline, but it really works for me here.

I don’t really understand why Taylor decided to wear the stars and stripes on tour, but I actually really like this look. It’s very on-the-nose for the Midnights era, but I’m not here to complain.

I don’t hate this jacket, but I don’t love it. It’s fun for dancing around in but otherwise it just doesn’t do much for me. I also think the multicolor fringe often blends together into a sort of dark gray, which I don’t think is what the designer intended.

I really tried to find a designer for these, but I was not successful.

This is the version worn at the final show. I liked this one during the tour, but I noticed during the tour movie that the fringe didn’t quite cover one of the sleeves, leaving the satin base exposed. I didn’t notice this with the other variants, but it’s definitely something that bothered me with this one.

Easily the weakest of the bunch, this was just not a good color choice for this jacket. It was another one of the costumes that disappeared early in the tour, and I suspect Taylor might have just stopped wearing it because it didn’t look good. Sorry.

The very last costume of this monster of a post, this blue jacket is my favorite of the “Karma” variants. It was also the one worn in the tour movie.
