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?

It has the "Taylor" vibe, but there are some aspects of the whole look that are missing. For me this ones gonna have to be a nay....sorry Tay!

Nay! Too matronly and old fashioned for her young age. The detail on the dress is gorgeous, but the high neck style and color totally wash her out.

Ita a nay! The hair so doesnt work with this dress. A messy chignon would suit better. But over all the dress just has TOO much going on. Lace, crotchet, long cuffed sleeves and fussy neck...pick one focal point.

That's a nay. Maybe softer make-up and hair it could work, shame b/c she's such a beauty. The dress is fab though!

I love Taylor's makeup, and her hair's cute.. I'd wear it like that for a simple day at school or work. For something a little more upscale, Taylor should have done something a little more... and I agree that the dress makes her look matronly. She should have done something else with it... like a higher hem or a different neckline, or both! It's a nay for me.

I love it on Taylor! It suits her coloring and I love it with the red lipstick. Her tall figure really does suit this dress.. I thought she pulled it off.. I can also see Nicole Kidman wearing this as well!
