‘This Is a Fashion Nightmare’: Users Stunned After Seeing Taylor Swift in Striped Corset Dress — Photos

Taylor Swift, Zoë Kravitz, and Jerrod Carmichael enjoyed an evening together at Chez Margaux, where Swift’s outfit and her styling choices quickly became a talking point among fans.

Swift stepped out in a Vivienne Westwood ensemble, wearing the brand’s Sunday corset dress in a mix of blue, yellow, and red stripes. She perfectly complemented the dress with an Aquazzura Twist 95 heels in rich burgundy velvet.

She completed the look with a black leather Vivienne Westwood Granny Frame bag, along with a gold chain necklace and a matching bracelet for added elegance.

Swift styled her hair in a low bun with soft, loose strands around her face. Meanwhile, her makeup featured a bold orange-red lip, red-tinted eyeshadow, and a touch of black eyeliner to highlight her eyes.

Taylor Swift’s friend, Kravitz, stepped out in a chic ensemble, featuring an oversized black coat layered over a cream slip dress. She paired it with sheer black pantyhose and black kitten heels. Kravitz accessorized the look with a brown handbag, adding a stylish yet understated touch to her outfit.

After the friends’ group dinner, Swift was pictured leaving Chez Margaux with Carmichael. Her photos in the striped corset dress made it online, where fans had plenty to say about her fashion choice. Reactions went from hilarious criticism to heartfelt admiration.

One viewer took a jab at her style, “Who’s going to tell her Halloween is over? She has no style or taste. Just a bad dresser. Is she too frugal to higher [sic] a good hair, makeup and clothing stylist? Temu has better styled models.” Some users couldn’t help but roast her outfit, “Taylor looks like a Halloween costume 😂.”

Someone else remarked, “Looks like smeared ketchup and mustard.” Another online user also joked, “That was one messy hotdog!😂.” “In a similarly humorous vein, a user said the dress “looks like an apron,” and another suggested it had “I Luv Lucy potato sack vibes.”

One commenter pointed out, “The outfit is wearing her 🤷🏾‍♀️” and another advised, “She needs a stylist.” Others weren’t as restrained, commenting “This is a fashion nightmare” and declaring “That outfit is the worst!”

But not everyone was critical. Some fans who loved her look gushed, “😍😍😍😍 Taylor looks gorgeous!!!!!” Another excited fan chimed in “She looks amazing 😍.” One fan even penned “So beautiful!❤️❤️ And I want those shoes!!😍” proving Swift’s fashion choices can still spark a debate between detractors and admirers alike.

Swift’s outing comes after she landed six nominations at the 2025 Grammy. The singer went to celebrate with Kravitz, who she has been friends with for a long time.

These nominations were a great win for Swift as she made history by being the first female artist to be nominated for Album of the Year seven times. Her 11th studio album “The Tortured Poets Department” is competing for Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammy.

Swift was glad to celebrate with Zoë Kravitz, who she has spoken of in the past in a heartfelt manner. The singer said, “Zoë’s sense of self is what makes her such an exciting artist, and such an incredible friend. She has this very honest inner compass, and the result is art and life without compromising who she is.”

When Kravitz was struggling with deep insecurity about being in the entertainment industry, Swift was there for her. Kravitz noted that her insecurity came from being referred to as a nepo baby. She thought that simply because she had famous parents, she was less deserving of success.

Swift stood by Kravitz during these struggles as she stayed in London when her friend landed a role in “Batman” and was busy filming. This familiar face helped Kravitz handle her insecurities, as she noted, “She was my pod. She was a very important part of being in London, just having a friend that I could see and that would make me home-cooked meals and dinner on my birthday.”

Swift and Kravitz have remained close for years now. Their friendship also led to a creative collaboration, where Kravitz contributed as a co-writer and background vocalist on the opening track of Swift’s album, “Midnights.”
