It’s difficult to choose Taylor Swift’s most enviable attribute. She’s been winning Grammys since most of her classmates were in high school, has a flair for writing relevant lyrics, and is constantly in good company (with her squad, of course). Then there’s her style, both on and off the red carpet, which is always equal parts put together and effortlessly stylish. Oh, and she bakes with Karlie Kloss and counts Lorde as a close friend. Not a big deal.

Of course, we have to acknowledge her beauty, since she has gone a long way from her “Teardrops on My Guitar” days. Let’s put it this way: When you trade in your long, flowing hair for a sophisticated ‘do that quickly draws comparisons to the sexiest supermodel of the moment, you know you’re on-trend.

Although most of us associate Taylor with her most frequently worn signature look (her flawlessly red pout and next-level hair), she’s changed things up on the red carpet more than you may imagine. Not one to follow the rules, she’s made some unconventional beauty choices, such as wearing blue over blue or stretching her fringe far beyond the required brow-grazing length. Whether she’s pouring out her emotions or experimenting with a new beauty style, she’s always brave (to reference a specific album title).

Half a year later, she’s essentially wearing an upgraded version of her former appearance. Consider glossier curls, darker lashes, and more defined eye makeup, with the same natural pink cheeks and lips.

Back to fringe! She combines two hair trends with the addition of a milkmaid braid. This long fringe might dominate the eyes, so bring them back out (like Taylor does) with thick black liner combined with blue eyeshadow.

Taylor took a flowery embroidered headband to the next level. She wears it like a fantasy flower crown and looks like a princess as she traverses the streets of New York City. The feline flick simply adds to the stunningness.

Taylor’s style became more edgy after she debuted her blonde tresses at Coachella. Attending Gigi Hadid’s 21st birthday party in Los Angeles. With a dark oxblood lip and little eye makeup, the celebrity showed that she still has a few surprises in store.
