  • Tay Tay has donned an array of bold fashion looks for her Eras Tour and is known for showstopping MTV Video Music Awards outfits too – and she didn’t disappoint this year
  • She walked the pink carpet in an asymmetrical Versace gown, then changed into a corseted denim mini dress for Diddy’s after-party, accessorising with a glittering Van Cleef & Arpels ring

If you weren’t keeping count during the MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday night, Taylor Swift took home nine Moon Man trophies.

She also wore two showstopping outfits before the night was over too.

The asymmetrical garment had a form-fitting bodice, floor-length skirt and thigh-high slit that revealed her black sandals. She wore it with sharp black eyeliner, gold nail polish and sparkling jewellery worth tens of thousands of dollars.

But by the end of the show, Swift changed into a sleeveless mini dress made of denim. The blue outfit, which she also wore to Diddy’s after-party, had a corseted bodice and raw-hem skirt, both in varying shades of blue.

She wore the EB Denim piece that retails for US$480 with silver sandals, a metallic purse, her signature red lip, and some of the same accessories she donned at the VMAs.

Swift’s jewellery included a US$32,000 choker from Anita Ko, vintage necklaces from Joseph Saidian and Sons, a US$15,000 ring from Van Cleef and Arpels, and multiple rings and bracelets.
