Taylor Swift in Etro at the Golden Globes: not the best but not the worst?

Taylor Swift was nominated for a Golden Globe for her original song for CATS: The Movie. She did not win. I don’t even think it was some kind of anti-snake thing or anything personal against Taylor. I just think Cats was awful and no one wants to give it any awards. It’s not Taylor’s fault. Still, she came out and tried a look and here we are. This gown is Etro and I’m honestly still working out my feelings about it. Something nice: I kind of like the fabric and the colors and the pattern. Something not nice: the cutout sucks and it ruins the fit of the bodice of the dress. All in all, not the best on Tay but far from the worst. Also: no bangs? She’s a whole new Snake!

Jodie Comer wore Mary Katrantzou, a rather epic affair with giant shoulders, which was one of the design trends of the night. Personally, I’m starting to feel like Comer is the New Blanchett. Does anyone else get that vibe? Shape-shifter who looks radically different every time we see her, and someone who can pull off weird and exciting looks. Anyway, I like that she went BIG and I appreciate that she didn’t play it safe.

Rose Leslie is so pretty and talented, why is she A) wearing this boring-ass Elie Saab gown and B) still with Kit Harington? Oh well.

    So the song she wrote for CATS is good! She isn’t good in CATS but the movie is terrible so it’s not really on her. I have never been a stan but she is a good songwriter.

    Can I say I feel a little for Taylor? When planning things, she probably thought that this would be a great night (she talked about how excited she was for GG on Cats red carpet): very likely she expected Cats to be a great movie and her great debut in films, probably to win her first GG, that would lead then at her first Oscar nom and be good publicity for her documentary and, as a cherry on top, the official debut with her boyfriend at an important award event.
    Instead… Cats was a disaster and a flop and blocked from award season (maybe with the exception of Razzies), she walked the red carpet alone (even if her boyfriend was already there) and last minute to avoid questions about it, the GG nom was probably more a courtesy than a real acknowledgment.
    She looked on the verge of crying from the pics I saw yesterday night.
    Considering also that she has been already snubbed at Grammy noms (and probably will be snubbed at wins too)

    • Marianne says:

      Cats isnt her debut in films…

      • redeye_owl says:

        I know, but I didn’t consider Valentine’s day since it did was actually a failure and happened almost 10 years ago. All the other roles were just small cameos.
        Cats wanted to sell himself as a big event movie able to compete with Star Wars and with Taylor as one of the big stars.
        I meant this with “great debut”

    • Div says:

      The soundtrack for Cats came out after the Grammy deadline, so it didn’t get snubbed there.

      I mean, plenty of singers do not succeed in becoming actors or actresses. She’s hardly the first to flop at it, and from what I understand no one singled her out as a bad part of the movie so she’ll probably be given one more chance. It probably is embarrassing for everyone involved with the film, but at the end of the day Taylor’s still wildly successful in her singing career (when a lot are starting to flop in the era of streaming). She’ll be fine.

      • Allz says:

        @DIV I don’t think Redeye_Owl meant Taylor would become a flop after this, or that people would pin Cats on her. She meant that Taylor probably hoped this would be huge, think Les Mis, and she would be a bona fide movie actress. The fact that she wrote a song with ALW to a pretty popular musical was I’m sure huge news for her when she got the role. I could see her expecting lots of praise and awards, meanwhile she basically got nothing. Of course she’ll get a million other chances, she’s still a massive star. I think Redeye_Owl was just pointing out how Taylor must have had massive hopes with this chance and it all fizzled out. Which I’m secretly ok with, as I find her overrated.

      • amilou says:

        I think redeye_owlet is referring to Taylor’s “Lover” album being snubbed, not CATS.

      • redeye_owlet says:

        @Allz @amilou yes to both, thank you. I mean exactly that. In the case of Grammy she did not well as in the past: she got only 3 nom for Lover and no one of this three is AOTY (that I bet she was hoping for).
        And I write this being totally indifferent towards her(I am not a fan of her music), but I can feel her disappointment

  3. Leriel says:

    Taylor Swift looks like girl from province who came to Moscow for the first time, lol.

    Kit Harington is a part of MCU now, so Rose Leslie isn’t going anywhere from him anytime soon.

  4. Lisa says:

    I liked the dress and overall look on Taylor.

    • Erinn says:

      I do too. I agree with Kaiser that the cutout isn’t the best – but I LOVE the colors and the print isn’t bad. Overall I really like it, but a couple of pretty minor edits could make it better.

      • josephine says:

        The cut-out made it veer toward bathing suit ala Salma Hayek. The color and pattern were bold choices, which is nice to see, but I don’t think it really works. I also think she tends to look better it more of a column dress. Not a disaster, but not quite right.

  5. Aang says:

    T S’s dress is ugly and cheap looking. The middle dress is a nightmare. The bottom dress with the beads is gorgeous in my opinion. I love the color, the lines, and the beading.

    • Bread and Circuses says:

      I kind of like Taylor’s dress, but I totally agree with you on Rose Leslie’s dress. That’s the one where I perked right up and went, “Ah! Pretty!”

      And then Kaiser didn’t like it. 🙁

  6. Lucy says:

    Why would Rose not be with Kit anymore? I thought the whole cheating/nude pic scandal thing was bs.

  7. Nuzzybear says:

    You know how Scarlett O’Hara made a new dress out of the curtains to go see Rhett in jail? I won’t say that about the first 2 dresses…

    but, I will say that I hope they don’t slip and fall in the bathroom from all the water on the floor after they shower.

    Rose is gorgeous and no less gorgeous for playing it safe.

  8. xdanix says:

    Ooof. I don’t love Taylor’s dress but I do think her head looks very pretty at least.

    LOVE Rose’s look. I loved it slightly more, admittedly, when I didn’t notice how sheer the bottom half was, but I love the look overall and from the waist up so much I can forgive that. And there were some very nice shots of her and Kit looking very happy, which I thought was sweet. I hope they are that happy, and I wish them well. Good to see him looking so well since rehab, I always think he looks about 10 years younger in every picture of him I’ve seen of him since he went.

  9. Becks1 says:

    Taylors dress was fine. I said on twitter last night that objectively its not really that good a look, but for Taylor, it is, since usually her red carpet style is pretty bad. Her hair looks much better this way, than with the heavy bangs, and her makeup is good.

    I thought rose leslie looked gorgeous, even if boring.

  10. wheneight says:

    Taylor always looks a million times better without the bangs.

  11. HK9 says:

    Taylor’s dress is a tragedy from beginning to end. She’s a a fit attractive woman, so the only conclusion I can come to is that her stylist hates her.

  12. Anne says:

    There is a meme of Jodie and Baby Yoda and I LOVE it.

  13. Abby says:

    In all the indoor pics of the GG Taylor’s posture is awful and she just looks super hunched and awkward to me. But I am deeply grateful to not see bangs on her. PLEASE grow out the bangs and put them away for life, Taylor. Neverrrr again!!!

  14. Marianne says:

    Taylor’s dress was actually my fave so…..*shrugs*

  15. BANANIE says:

    Taylor’s dress just isn’t flattering. It makes her look thick through the middle and doesn’t do her any favors. LOVE the color contrasting earrings though!

  16. SJR says:

    TS dress looks like a shower curtain to me.

    I like RL look, great hair, natural look in makeup, like the dress but if the lower half wasn’t see thru, I would like it much more.

    Kit H looks good.
    I watched the first few episodes of GoT but never got into the series.
    To me GoT fans are like Trekkies, those main actors are typecast for years ahead to their fans, learn to accept that. Even Leonard Nimoy eventually made peace with Spock.

  17. pollyv says:

    I’m having a hard time recognizing the new Taylor who is no longer a waif and then, she ditches the bangs.

  18. Lindy says:

    I actually like all three of these looks. I don’t even mind the cutout in Swifty’s dress–kind of makes it more interesting. And emerald green is my favorite color so I love both of the other two.

  19. 10KTurtle says:

    Rose has worn almost that same dress before, in red.

  20. MellyMel says:

    Taylor would have gotten best dressed from me if that cut-out was not there. That aside it’s a really pretty gown and her earrings are fantastic!!

  21. lucy2 says:

    Between the cut out and the big floral, I really dislike Taylor’s.

    I love Rose’s except for the sheer skirt, but it’s so similar to the Elie Saab Evan Rachel Wood wore a few years ago (which is one of my all time favorites). But the detailing and color are so pretty.

  22. Livvers says:

    I like the black opal earrings even though I would be superstitious about wearing borrowed opals to an awards event. Do you think it’s just a coincidence that she wore them or is it a reference to Australia where so many black opals are found?

  23. WendyWoo says:

    CATS was amazing. I will hear no words against this beloved shitshow. You just have to have the right (trash) preferences to see this movie for the masterpiece it truly is.

  24. holly hobby says:

    Jodie’s dress is hideous! Big ass sleeves and a pregnant bottom? Why does her stylist hate her?

    I’m surprised the Snake presented the award with the great Amy Poehler. After Amy and Tina snarked at her and she did the dumb special place in hell for people who made fun of her.

  25. Pulplove says:

    Jodie’s dress, hm, I do like the colour and don’t mind the huge sleeves. But the shape of the dress is like the glamourised version of a sandbag and conveys nothing to me. Same with the hairdo. I think this look simply isn’t for her.

    I remember seeing Gemma Chan in a pink dress with a similar sandbag cut some time ago, but somehow she pulled it off and I loved it on her.

  26. Daisy says:

    I liked the color of Taylor’s dress but the shape and the fitting were a disaster. Also I’d do anything to fix her eyebrows. The makeup and hair looked great though.
    Jodie needs a new stylist asap and everyone who wears Elie Saab always choose the same sparkly gown so it bores me.

  27. Nicegirl says:

    Better than her usual look but I like Jodie Comer’s gown the best here. I do love Etro generally. 🐍

  28. Mabs A'Mabbin says:

    I like all the looks on this page.

  29. Kim says:

    Love Jodie Comer! Yes Blanchettesque!

  30. A says:

    I have always been a fan of Taylor’s red carpet style. This dress looks like something you wear at fashion gala and not film awards but still she looks stunning. Jodie’s dress makes her look pregnant but her hair and make up looks good.

  31. Mrs. Peel says:

    Jodie for the win hand’s down – I want that dress! She looks stunning from head to toe.

  32. moo says:

    she looks so beautiful without bangs. I really like her eye makeup. I normally prefer other beauty standards, but I would love to look like her here! Sorry about the cutout.
