Taylor Swift’s style is so… not what it could be. She’s one of the richest women in the world, she’s tall and she has a nice figure, and every designer would love to make custom looks for her. That’s what Gucci did – they customized this green gown for Taylor for the Golden Globes. I’m sure hours of work went into it. So why does it look like an off-the-rack mall dress? It’s the weirdest thing. Don’t get me wrong, I actually think Taylor looks fine, even good here. But when I think about what she could be wearing and how her style could really be next-level, it just makes me sad. Her bangs also make me sad! Sigh. At least Taylor became the meme of the night – her icy stare and champagne sip when Jo Koy bombed a joke about her was EPIC. She also hung out with Selena Gomez, Emma Stone and Bill Hader.

Julia Garner also wore Gucci – she’s a Gucci ambassador. They gave her an okay dress. Gucci played it very safe for the Globes.

I’m undecided on the dress but I LOVE her head styling. Gorgeous makeup and truly gorgeous hair. I really like that natural dark blonde and if she’s wearing extensions they’re flawless.
Always adore Julia rocking her curls and her pixie cut.
I love the dress and the color and I love her hair too. The dress really looks good on her. I don’t like the curly bangs but they are fine for a more natural look when she does.
As far as her spending big money to be a stand-out at the Golden Globes, I have mixed feelings. She is not up for best actress or director or any of the other more important awards. I think she would come across as stealing the lime light if she went too spectacular. She is not an average actress looking to get noticed, she is almost always the main event wherever she goes even if its not about her.
I think it was a beautiful dress with a bold color and shimmer without feeling like it was attention grabbing.
I think she looks amazing. And boy, does she know how to participate in a selfie or what?
These bangs are fine. You know what isn’t? The curly bangs she USED to wear ( I hope it’s in the past now).
I will never understand her bangs. She’s a beautiful, talented woman with 100inch legs and a stunning face. All I ever See when I look At her though is the bayanngs.
Pretty sure the curly bangs were her real hair. She’s had a more or less full fringe for a long time, maybe for a decade or more? and as her hair is naturally curly when she doesn’t straighten her fringe it’s curly too.
I would love to see her embrace her curls more! She could be so influential. We need more curly hair representation, which I LOVE to see on Julia Garner. Her short curls are fab!
@Soapboxpudding she’s said herself that her hair has changed and it’s now more lightly curly/wavy than the tight curls it used to be. mine is the same – used to be ringlets until my late teens but mostly is frizzy/wavy now unless I do a whole routine. I mostly wear my hair straight because it’s much easier to deal with.
also I like her bangs, but I’ve also had bangs for about fifteen years so I’m biased. I do hate when she wears them curly though. either straighten them or clip them out of the way!
I will never understand the bangs hate. I love that Taylor isn’t wearing her hair parted in the center stick straight like everybody else. She can wear any look and this is what she comes back to so obviously she likes herself this way.
I agree. It’s a silly thing. Bangs are fickle, they really have good days and bad days no matter what you do because they are always needing a trim. I think they are a titch too long here, but I really like that she has them. It’s not like everyone else with the silly centre part half ringlet just went through a rainfall hair. I really like her hair when her bangs are slightly sideswept .. I think that’s her natural texture coming through .. it’s very 50’s 60’s glamorous. I find her bangs are often not as good when hairstylists do it for award shows.

I think her best bangs look was honestly on the Eras tour. It was magical, defying belief, how her bangs looked so good whether it was super humid or raining, if she was sweaty, or not. Always the perfect length without covering her eyes. Never sticking to her foreheador getting super frizzy (like mine would)
Right now I feel like they’re growing out and a bit long, but I think maybe she’s shifting to a new look and they’re in transition.
No need for fashion in Tay’s case. She is larger than life.
That’s good because “off-the-rack mall” has always been her vibe.
Ouch. Maybe she wants to pick out her own clothes and isn’t looking to be a fashion maven. Some people have that fashion eye naturally and some people like to pay others who do have it to style them, and then there are also people who love fashion and wear what they like or what is comfortable. Who says what’s ‘right’ or wrong in that department?
Everything looks larger under a microscope and Taylor is under one every day … I’m sort of proud of Taylor for just being herself. Bangs, possibly odd fashion choices, over the top reactions and all. 🙂
PS: I love this green dress.
I don’t understand her fashion. She’s one of the most famous people in the world, she’s a billionaire, she has a huge social media following – and she just rarely gets it 100% right. This dress is nice, but this is the best Gucci could do for her? And that’s without getting into her bangs/hair.
It’s not a bad look for her overall – the color is nice, etc – but I feel like someone with her resources and status should hit it out of the park on the red carpet and she just never does.
Taylor doesn’t understand her fashion, either.
Someone described her look as being an 8 year old’s idea of what a famous person would wear and I can’t unsee it. That said, I think she’s deliberately choosing not to be a “fashion girl.”
Can confirm since my daughter plays with Rainbow High dolls. That said, Taylor could make a killing on a line of eras dolls of herself… it might be predictable and off the rack but it’s also mass marketable and safe. Maybe it’s intentional?
Gorgeous. And the joke was lame because it was clearly meant to be at her expense simply because she was in the room. Taylor Swift doesn’t control the cameras operated by the NFL or the Golden Globes broadcasters.
The joke wasn’t even that deep though. She just gets off on playing the victim, now her fans will attack this guy in their thousands.
lol nothing about her reaction said victim, she was imperious
she’s not playing the victim?! she just didn’t fake laugh at a lame joke at her expense. I don’t blame her.
Ugh I swear, troll talking points don’t take long to become ingrained. I see this point about Taylor used all the time and most often it doesn’t even apply. Just like the ‘we want privacy tour’ jokes about Harry and Meghan (who never asked for privacy). It’s a ridiculous argument imo and shows how much repetition works to get into someone’s brain. It is a little like unconscious bias .. most people don’t even have examples of half of the stuff they claim to be fact only because they read it daily from bots online.
She’s built an entire empire off playing the victim. Every song she sings is about seeking revenge on someone whose wronged her. When Tina fey and Amy poelher joked about dating Michael j fox’s son at one golden globes show, she tweeted that they was ‘a special place in hell’ for them. They ended up having to apologise to her, after I’m assuming bullying from her crazy fans.
Taylor knows exactly what she’s doing and active encourages her fans to attack anyone who has wronged her.
As a person who has to wear bangs for my face (NOT a good look without), I do not mind Taylor’s bangs…I like them. As for the dress, I like it……..not my fav of the night at all but definitely not the worst. I think she looks good.
I often wonder how bangs-wearers feel everytime Taylor’s bangs get trashed in these comments. Why do people not attack Stevie Nicks or Dakota Johnson or Zooey Deschanel every time they are photographed? (I know the answer).
My Mom has always had bangs and I can’t imagine her any other way. I wish I could wear them, they suit me .. but they annoy me and get caught in my glasses 😀
Oh her body’s “fine” is it? Lordie would love to see any one of us in that dress and see how “fine” we look.
100%
Come on now, plenty of us would look fine as hell in that dress, including me. My strong , 5 ft 8 runner’s body would kill it in that dress! She ain’t the only one LOL. Regular folks have it going on too.
Calm down.
Agree that her style is usually a little off but I think she looked great last night.
I think the dress is fantastic, especially the color. Fits her like a glove. Pretty sure there isn’t anything like this on the rack at my mall.
I agree she looked very pretty, but I wish she’d incorporated some edge. Pretty hair, pretty makeup, pretty dress… if she’d done something wild with just one element, it would have been so much cooler. Imagine her in a sexy menswear-inspired suit in the same shade, or with her hair slicked back into something that showed off some OTT earrings, or even the same dress in a tougher fabric, like a (faux) leather. She HAD a couple of edgy elements (the earrings, the cutouts on the sides of the breast), but they were muted by the bland niceness of the overall look.
I love that shade of green, it’s very flattering on her. But the dress has a weird fit at the bust, like it’s a half size too small on top? Otherwise it’s pretty great.
There were a couple of dresses that had that weird compressed bodice shape – made me think of my last mammogram. Give the girls some space!
I agree, I saw several gowns that looks like they’re really schmooshing the boobs.
I quite like Taylor’s though, despite that.
that’s my only complaint too. the small bust and square neckline seem to be very popular right now and I don’t think they’re flattering on most.
My thoughts too, it seems to be a somewhat regular feature at the moment, they either make the boobs look small or the dress fit just looks off. Not a flattering style and one that seems to be done for the look of the thing rather than because it does anything for the wearer.
Low-key appreciate her dedication to the bangs. She has a signature look. Thought she looked good in the green dress but would love to see her in some interesting gowns. Am trying to think who’s dress from the night I’d like to see her in. Issa’s was so good but that was Issa’s dress. Hmmm.
Issa was best dressed imo!! I think Taylor would have looked cute in Sarah Snook’s dress.
I loved the color of this dress, all but the way it fit in the bust. I loved her makeup, loved her matching green louboutin heels, but I didn’t love her hair styled this way. The pouf at the neck bothered me. But I love her and I think overall she looked great.
The back of Taylor’s dress is nice, but the bust is two sizes too small and makes her look flat and droopy, which she’s not. Probably designed by a man.
I like Taylors hair and I know she gets a lot of stick about it – its fine and healthy looking. Not sure about the dress, ITA that she could look soo much better with the resources she has access to but she seems to have fun with her fashion to good for her.
Love the color and the fit on the bodice is impeccable. If she was truly going for a snake-effect, I wish there was a little movement in the skirt. Seemed a little stiff.
I do like how she’s been doing bangs pushed to the side recently with some retro curls in the hair. They are meh. Kinda heavy here.
I love her bangs, they’re so Taylor, curly, straight, parted, always great.
The dress doesn’t fit well, it’s chopping her chest weird from the side. I’m not a fan of the thin strappy look for her. She is so statuesque and can carry any dramatic outfit, I wish she’d go more haute couture
I love her dress
She looked stunning
There is just no escaping from Taylor Swift, is there? Football and now the GGs. She’s like a f-cking pop up ad.
I like the dress – that colour looks great on her! And I can tolerate the bangs – but why does her hair look like it’s been tucked behind her ears?? It makes her bangs look awkward.
Agreed that TS often doesn’t nail it in the curated dressed-by-a-stylist realm of the celebrity world. But I think she does something way more interesting and even delightful – she dresses to her own tastes. I love that about her. Also, I think she looks great here. If that’s a ‘mall look’, please text me the address. 🙂
@Teddy I think so, too. Imo she often tries to dress in a classy, timeless way and consciously choses to opt out of trendy, fashion-forward stuff that’s gonna look weird or dated in a few years. I feel like she achieves this a lot of the time and I respect that.
Plus, she seldom falls into that trap when it looks like the dress is wearing her because it’s overly complicated or attention-drawing. She herself is always the star of the show and she likes it that way.
Taylor looks great! That color is lovely on her.
Typical mall?? No. I’m within 10 miles of 2 of the most upscale malls in the US & this might at NeimanMarcus, Bloomies or Saks. Better than anything at Nordstrom.
I really wish she’d worn her hair up. I’m tired of long earrings getting lost in hair. If she was determined to wear it down then I wish she’d swapped out the earrings for a statement necklace or bracelet. She looks fine but too similar to her regular day to day appearance.
The dress would have looked better as a mini dress. It looks wayyyy too heavy as a long fitted dress.
My 15yo insists on having bangs. She has a perfectly ( a mother’s eyes) shaped head so I beg her to wear her hair scraped back in a bun or a pony and never will. She finally acknowledged that some A-hole once made fun of the size of her forehead. I assure you it’s not an issue but my guess is Taylor feels similarly.
I’ve never been a huge fan of her fashion but it strikes me as charming that someone of her caliber isn’t a slave to fashion…
Oh my god, are you kidding about the dress? It’s fire!! Am I the only one? I think she looks like a sequin queen!
I liked it, too. She looks beautiful.
I like her skin tone and complexion here. Some actresses such as Julieanne Moore and Carey Mulligan must have a different underlying skin tone or something because they look almost unhealthy pale. It must be very challenging to do their styling and makeup. Oh who is the other one, Elle Fanning, looks as insubstantial as a cloud
Can Julia Garner get her cheeks back? She was so pretty, unique and just ‘her’. She still has her curly blond hair. But why, why, did she get that darn bucal fat removed. She probably got negative and positive comments, but only heard and remembered the negative. Well, I hope she is happy with her new look.
I just realised Taylor looks like a younger Christine Baranski.
LOVE both Taylor & Julia’s looks here, just gorgeous!
