Taylor Swift is in her Eras era. The singer began her highly anticipated Eras Tour in Glendale, AZ, on March 17, debuting a variety of dazzling looks for her three-hour set. With a vast catalog to cover and 44 songs in the set list, Swift needed outfits that could lend themselves to her storytelling. In turn, she tapped designers like Versace, Elie Saab, Roberto Cavalli, Zuhair Murad, Alberta Ferretti, and Oscar de la Renta, as well as Christian Louboutin for her custom boots.
According to Vogue, Swift’s costumes were designed to modernize some of her most memorable moments in fashion. For example, stylist Joseph Cassell Falconer worked with Roberto Cavalli designer Fausto Puglisi to create a minidress dripping with sparkly gold fringe inspired by Swift’s second album, “Fearless.” He also created a catsuit with embroidered snakes to mark her “Reputation” era. “It’s more of a badass, rock and roll look,” Puglisi tells Vogue.
Swift also debuted a glittery two-piece set reminiscent of her silver 2014 MTV Video Music Awards outfit; a sequin ballgown for a “Speak Now” tribute; an iridescent bodysuit completely encrusted with crystals to mark her “Lover” era; and an Elie Saab Haute Couture tulle ballgown (first worn in Tampa), which cascades into a dramatic skirt embroidered with gardenia-colored organza petals. No matter the album, each piece delights the massive audience in attendance, which clocks in at over 69,000 people.
While Swift looks perfectly bejeweled on stage, the music is always top of mind. “I always want to create couture for the music . . . when you create for a concert in a stadium with so many people, everything must be eye-catching,” Puglisi tells Vogue. Read on to see some of Swift’s best looks from her Eras Tour (so far).
