Remember Taylor Swift's cool, crisp preppy style? No? Me neither, because lately she's has gone hardcore fashionista with increasingly daring looks. Have you seen Swift in this emerald Julien Macdonald gown?
The dress is straight off the runway of this Welsh designer, and it definitely makes the most of Swift's long legs. It's edgy with that jewel green that's also almost an acid green. Intense! The black lace and corset-like bodice are a naught nod to lingerie, and that slit -- well, just look where it leads!
Macdonald has designed for Channel Givenchy and was named Britain's Best Designer of the Year in 2001. More recently he has appeared as a judge on Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model.
But back to Taylor and that dress. Can I say this? Swift keeps saying she's NOT sexy. And she's fastidiously careful about the message she sends to her fans since so many of them are young, impressionable girls. But she looks pretty darn sexy here -- especially with the slicked-back punk hair and the heavy eye makeup.
In a tasteful way, of course! It's not like she's wearing another one of those (yawn) naked cut-out dresses.
Anyway, it's just so freakin' cool to see Swift embracing such a funky, grown-up runway look. It makes us excited to see how her style evolves in the future!
What do you think about Taylor Swift's gown? Cool, or too weird?
