The Eras Tour | Midnights section | Version 7

Jenny Packham custom dress and coat

In a night full of plot twists (Exhibit A: There will be no explanation there will just be a second reputation bodysuit), the one that actually has me the most stumped is this designer switch during the Midnights set. 

Taylor has worn a number of sparkling “Anti-Hero” shirt dresses that are a blink-and-you-miss-it moment in the show. She only briefly wears this piece right before a dramatic on-stage costume change that leads into “Midnight Rain”. All of the dresses, including the coordinating faux fur shag jacket, have been by Oscar de la Renta. Until now, that is, with this new addition by Jenny Packham - coat included. 

On a personal note, it’s such a thrill to see Jenny Packham’s designs brought back into Taylor’s rotation. She used to wear a number of JP pieces back in the day, mostly from 2010-2013 and typically as sparkling performance wear. One thing I’ve often noted is how Eras Tour costuming excels at referencing and refreshing the iconic designs of Taylor’s past. This feels like a more subtle and IYKYK moment to tap one of Taylor’s earliest designer loves for a moment on the Eras Tour stage. 

The “Anti-Hero” dresses themselves are a wily bunch, both because they’re only worn for a short period and also because their fabrication and sparkle factor make it a little tough to tell them apart. Thus far, we have received (nicknames are patent pending /joke): Confetti, Blue, Pink, Purple, “Rainbow Fish” / Iridescent, Dark Purple and now a new colourway which I will call “Purple Confetti” because its lavender base and chunky Swarovski crystals and paillette embroidery falls close to the original Version 1 Confetti of this dress. The coordinating lavender and “aurora borealis” faux fur jacket also came with matching paillette embroidery. 

Which “Anti-Hero” dress is your fave?
