Vivienne Westwood's Lyrical Masterpieces

Taylor Swift's opening night in Milan was marked by a show-stopping custom Vivienne Westwood dress. The white taffeta corseted design was adorned with black crystals, spelling out the lyrics "Who's afraid of little old me? You should be..." from her single "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?".

Showcasing her versatility, Swift also debuted a captivating two-piece set by Roberto Cavalli's creative director Fausto Puglisi.

This vibrant ensemble was complemented by mismatching boots, adding a touch of edginess to the look.

As the European leg of her tour commenced, Swift took the stage in a custom Versace ensemble that exuded pure glamour. The double-breasted blazer, embellished with iridescent fuchsia crystals and gold Medusa buttons, was paired with ombré Christian Louboutin boots covered in thousands of glittering strass crystals. Underneath the striking blazer, Swift donned a crystal-embroidered Versace bodysuit with a bustier boning structure, covered in paillettes in tones of orange with iridescent elements.

Westwood's Poetic Presentation

Continuing her collaboration with Vivienne Westwood, Swift debuted a custom corseted dress for the tour's "Tortured Poets Department" section.
