Yay or Nay? Taylor Swift's NYFW Style at Rodarte

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday September 19, 201157 comments


Taylor Swift attended Rodarte's Spring 2012 collection show at New York Fashion Week and she was in good company - also in attendance were Elle and Dakota Fanning and Beyonce and Solange Knowles.

Taylor may have snagged the best parking spot however, seated next to Vogue editor, Anna Wintour. Swift wore a long-sleeved lace and crochet midi dress from Rodarte's Fall 2011 collection.



The waist cinching detail and the flared hemline on the dress flatter her figure - there's the good news!  I don't think I'm wild about the sleeves and the high lacy collar: a little matronly?

Dakota Fanning wore a similar dress to the same event but pulled it off because of a shorter hemline and skipped the sleeves. Maybe Tay's recovering from her Marilyn Monroe-style wardrobe malfunction last month?  We're also a little disappointed with her uninspired hairstyle.

While I usually love Taylor, this look is a nay for me! What do you think?

Ooo, I have to say "Nay" on this particular dress. I do think the flared skirt is really nice, though. I think if you took off the white bit at the waist and the sleeves part, it would make a lovely halter dress. You can almost see it if you squint a bit! Almost anything would be an improvement over the way it looks in this picture.

I Love Taylor However, the top half of that dress is terrible!!
I do Like the bottom half, from the waist down. - It has potential to be a nice dress....If it didn't have sleves on the arms and if the neckline were different!

I like it from the skirt part to the waist line. However above that, I'm definitely not loving it so much. I love the crochet, but I just feel the lace detail is a little too much for the dress. Nay, tay, nay! :(

I love Taylor, but i do not like this dress at all. It looks like something her grandma should be wearing, not her. Therefore, I vote nay.

It's a nay for me. I wouldn't mind the skirt with a different top though.

It doesn't do the girl justice. I definitely thought Dakota pulled this look off way better. Sorry Taylor!
