Taylor Swift Just Wore the Pretty Red Carpet Trend She Brings Back Every Winter

If you’re anything like me, you’ve had Taylor Swift’s new version of her Red album on repeat all day today. Of course, she’s been busy this week on a promotional tour supporting the new release, which has included two late-night talk shows, a red carpet event, and rehearsals for her Saturday Night Live appearance. 

One of my favorite looks so far has been her plum-colored velvet Etro suit that she styled with Alexandre Birman boots. Velvet is a trend that Swift brings back every fall and winter without fail—can you blame her? Especially when worn in a beautiful gemstone color, it’s just so perfectly festive and cozy for the season. Oh, and let’s not forget about the stars of her short film: Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien, who also looked exceptionally cool on the red carpet. Scroll down to see the photos and to shop my favorite velvet pieces.

I love this burgundy hue for fall. 

Zara always has excellent interpretations of the best trends

Don’t forget the maching trousers. 

I’ll be wearing this sumptuously soft shirt unbuttoned over a band tee. 

Because Taylor Swift is no stranger to bows. 

This emerald green is so lovely.
