Putting a completely sexy spin on her love of all things prep, Swift teamed a yellow plaid bustier top featuring an attached skirt with a pair black velvet hot pants and caged leather gloves, all Dior. She also kept on her thigh-high boot streak in a pair of Stuart Weitzman’s Maverick boots, whichretail for $1,200and are currently sold out. She topped the look with extra vampy glam (the smoky eye!) and even ditched her signature red lip. Her hair was styled with mess, textured waves and side-swept bangs. The edgy vibe of the look feelsReputation-coded, and left fans unearthing easter eggs.

Last year, fans were calling out Swift for servingReputationvibes with her look (she’s yet to announce her re-recording of the album) when she arrived at the event in a skin-baring Versace gown featuring a thigh-high slit and gold buttons along the ruched bodice. She topped off her look with layers of necklaces and black stilettos, even skipping her signature red lip for a natural, mauve-y shade.

At the time, Versace’s Creative Director Donatella Versace shared a sweet note onInstagramabout creating the look for her.

She wrote, “@taylorswift, I couldn’t have been prouder to design this dress for your gorgeous entrance to the VMAs tonight. You have dominated the world with your tour and your music is timeless. You’re already winning big tonight! Love you ♥️”

Swift tapped beauty icon Pat McGrath for her makeup moment. McGrath called the singer her “angel” onInstagram.

The 2024 VMAs comes on the heels of a very busy week for the star, who is on hiatus from her history-making Eras tour until October.

She kicked off NFL season at boyfriend Travis Kelce’s opening game in Kansas City on Sept. 5, wearing a head-turning denim of denim look (including Versace bustier and Grlfrnd denim short-shorts) and thigh-high Giuseppe Zanotti boots. That moment kicked off a string of chic date night looks from the star, including a dreamy dress moment at model Karen Elson’s wedding and a preppy red gingham Reformation mini dress at the US Open on Sunday alongside a Gucci-clad Kelce.
