Taylor opted for a pair of high, dark-colored platform Marc Jacobs Kiki Knee-High boots. They feature a significant platform sole and a tall, chunky block heel, standing around six inches tall with a three-inch platform. The smoke-gray boots feature a fitted shaft that extends up the leg, with silver mary jane-style buckles and laces running down the center, stopping just before the rounded square toe.
