IN THE MIRROR with Cassidy Pearce
Your Style Guide for the Eras Tour
The biggest event of the year
is officially less than a month
away.
Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour
will be hitting Accor Stadium!
If you’re one of the lucky ones
who survived the great war for
tickets (or are planning to head
in and party from the outside),
you should well and truly have
your outfit sorted. But, if you’re
like me and still can’t manage
to decide which of Swift’s eras
will inspire your look, check
out a few ideas below, complete
with product suggestions to
help make them happen.
Taylor Swift
An underrated choice for
The Eras Tour, outfits inspired
by Swift’s eponymous album,
‘Taylor Swift’ are perfect for OG
Swifties, or for anyone wanting
to go for comfort over glitz and
glam.
For this look, I would wear a
boho-style dress and cowboy
boots, topped off with Swift’s
signature curls, which you can
replicate with a thin curling
wand.
If you want to be a little bit
extra, you can also mimic
the icy blue eyeshadow that
the singer frequently donned
during this era using the
Mecca Max Zoom Flex Fluid
Liquid Shadow in Cornflower
Blue.
Fearless
Taylor Swift’s sophomore
album is the perfect source of
inspiration if you’re going for a
classic look, with a little more
sparkle.
With the ‘Fearless’ era comes
a host of iconic looks to dress up
as, including from Swift’s ‘Love
Story’ and ‘You Belong With
Me’ music videos. You could
also draw inspiration from her
tour outfits, characterised by
gold and silver fringe.
However, one of the most
important parts of any ‘Fearless’
inspired outfit is the 13
on your hand. Whilst many
choose to use nail polish, I
would stick to a long-lasting
liquid eyeshadow, like the
Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye
Shadows.
Speak Now
A strong contender for my
own outfit, Taylor Swift’s
self-written album ‘Speak
Now’ will always hold a special
place in my heart.
Of course, any hint of purple
will immediately reference this
era, so I say embrace it! Put on a
purple dress, and some purple
eyeshadow – my favourite
palette for this is the Anastasia
Beverly Hills Norvina Pro
Pigment Eyeshadow Palette
Vol 1.
Red
‘Red’ is undeniably one of
Taylor Swift’s most iconic
albums, producing hits like
‘We Are Never Ever Getting
Back Together’, ‘22’ and, later,
the 10-minute version of ‘All
Too Well’.
This era is characterised by
its black, white and red colour
scheme – and particularly red
lipstick.
Though Swift has had her
favourites over the years, the
most important thing for The
Eras Tour is to find a colour that
suits you, and a formula that
will last through three hours
of singing. My favourite is
ColourPop’s Ultra Matte Liquid
Lipstick!
1989
Arguably Swift’s biggest era,
‘1989’ is set to be a popular one
when the tour hits Sydney.
Along with plenty more
music video and red carpet
looks to choose from (some of
my favourites being her 2016
Grammy Awards set, and the
‘Blank Space’ video looks), this
era is filled with plenty of shimmer
and tassels if you want to
make a statement at the show.
Makeup-wise, you can’t go
past a cat eye. Use the Stila
Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid
Eye Liner or the Fenty Beauty
Flyliner Longwear Liquid
Eyeliner if you want it to last
through the ‘Folklore’ set.
