Taylor Swift arrived on the red carpet for the 2023 MTV VMAs in Newark, New Jersey on Tuesday, taking an elevated approach to wearing an all-black look.
In honor of this year’s MTV VMAs, the pop star wore a black Versace dress with an asymmetrical line of the brand’s signature gold buttons and shoulder straps. The dress had a thigh-high slit exposing Swift’s legs and showcasing her strappy black stiletto pumps by Jimmy Choo. She accessorized the look with a series of necklaces by Joseph Saidian and Sons, and an Anita Ko diamond earcuff.
To create her look for the evening, Swift worked with her go-to stylist Joseph Cassell, who has been the force behind her Eras Tour looks.
