When the lights dimmed over a sold-out crowd and Taylor Swift rose out of the stage to perform her 1989 set for the first time in Paris last month, she revealed one of several dramatic updates to her Eras Tour outfits. In this case, she had traded neatly matching beaded sets by Roberto Cavalli for a new look by the Italian label: intentionally mismatched, glittery crop tops and skater skirts, paired with two shin y Louboutin boots in two different colors. On the first night, she wore a pink crop and a blue skirt. Soon enough, she also debuted variations in purple and orange as well as blue and yellow.
These unconventional pairings were an intentional shift on the "Cruel Summer" singer's part, even if they weren't necessarily an Easter egg. Roberto Cavalli creative director Fausto Puglisi revealed in an interview with Women's Wear Daily published on June 11 that Swift "insisted" on having colorblock costumes to represent 1989's bubbly, big-tent pop sound for the tour's European leg. “I love it because it reminds me immediately of Miami Beach,” Puglisi told the outlet.
