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?

Nay ! There are portions of this dress that are awesome .. but the belt for instance is just a horrible look, it is very old mormon style looking.

I agree with Briannauk and FashionPA in that I like how Taylor's taking a risk. She's been stuck in one rinse-n-repeat beauty look for a while (crimpy wavy hair, bold red lips, black eyeliner) and I'm glad she's experimenting a little. Just don't care for this particular experiment too much though!

The look is a Nay for me but look forward to seeing more daring looks from Taylor :)

I give it a YAH! I think Taylor looks sophisticated and grown up. Avante-Garde looks are perfect for Fashion week, it worked for her, got her noticed!

Nay, not feeling the long sleeves with the flowy skirt.

Nay! I hate this on her, it reminds me of the crochet bag I had back in the early 80's.
