Taylor joined the outstanding attendees in a slightly shiny oversized leather jacket. The jacket hung low to the ground and featured bell sleeves.
The dancer’s long leather shorts matched her jacket, sporting an equally oversized fit. Taylor cuffed the shorts and added a silver chain that dangled from her hip.
Beneath all that leather, the actress wore a loose, long-sleeved black shirt. Taylor tied Chanel pearls around her neck and had mini gold hoops on her ears and the look was complete.
Black on black won’t always achieve a striking look without different design treatments between pieces. The textural contrast shakes things up, with the star playing with the shine of the leather against the matte long-sleeve top underneath. The accessories added shine while blending into the ensemble.
She walked the red carpet in a pair of shiny, notched-soled boots with a geometric toe. The look of the Reebok model is slightly masculine, matching the overall vibe of the outfit.
