In the nearly 17 years since Taylor Swift became famous, her fans have watched her grow from a winsome 16-year-old opening act in cotton sundresses, clunky leather cowboy boots and peachy lip gloss to an incandescent 33-year-old arena-filling mega pop star in sequined catsuits, custom crystal-studded Christian Louboutin boots with stiletto heels and her trademark red lipstick. In this special issue, we take a look through Swift’s style album — including all of her best street fashion, tour costumes, red-carpet moments and Met Gala triumphs — to chart her evolution as a sartorial sensation.
TAYLOR SWIFT STYLE ALBUM
SWIFT SENSATION • TAYLOR SWIFT BECAME A STAR THROUGH SONGWRITING, ARTISTRY AND MUSICIANSHIP. BUT WHEN FAME, FROCKS AND FORTUNE WERE ADDED TO THE MIX, SHE TRANSFORMED INTO A POP-CULTURE ICON
THE START OF IT ALL • EVEN AS A TEEN, WITH HER GOLDEN ROOTS AND WAVY TRESSES PAIRED WITH COWBOY BOOTS AND WISPY DRESSES, SWIFT KNEW HOW TO COMPORT HERSELF AS A COUNTRY STAR ON THE RISE
FEARLESS FASHION • AS SHE CROSSED OVER FROM COUNTRY TO POP, SWIFT GAINED MORE SCRUTINY FROM THE MEDIA OVER WHOM SHE WAS DATING AND WHAT SHE WAS WEARING. SHE ROSE TO THE OCCASION ON BOTH FRONTS
RAVISHING ON THE ROAD • HER SIX MAJOR TOURS HAVE DELIGHTED FANS WITH HER SONGS, HER STAGING AND HER INCREDIBLE COSTUME CHANGES
MET GALA MASTERPIECES • SWIFT CEMENTED HER STATUS AT THE OSCARS OF FASHION WITH SIX INCREDIBLE ENSEMBLES
RED CARPET HIGHLIGHTS • WHETHER SHE WAS AT AN EVENT TO COLLECT AN AWARD, DELIVER A PERFORMANCE OR SIMPLY SUPPORT A FRIEND, SWIFT ALWAYS MADE A GLAMOROUS ENTRANCE
