Taylor Swift is back in her thigh-high boots.
The singer hit the black carpet for MTV’s Video Music Awards in New York tonight fresh off making a series of headlines, first on a weekend of dates with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and then endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president. Now, the global megastar is at the VMAs where she is poised to make history, wearing a yellow and black plaid look featuring a choker and corset as well as an over-the-knee boot.
The ensemble seemed to show the tougher edge of Swift. Done in a tartan, the look featured a zippered bustier and a skirt, attached to her waist with a clip over black velvet hot pants. The look came from Christian Dior’s resort 2025 collection and was made of a printed technical taffeta. She also wore a pair of fingerless elbow length gloves that featured straps on the sides, seemingly inspired from motorcycle gear.

She had recently taken a break from the boots this week, wearing a series of sandals including Gucci’s Lady silhouette in both a platform and non-platform version.
