January 2018 - Fashion

The Velvet Touch - From statements jumpsuits and daring dresses to lusciously embellished accessories, we've got a crush on the season's velvet. This classic choice still packs party sparkle... With all its tactile opulence, velvet is the perfect party fabric and exactly what we want to be cloaked in at a soiree. Plush and luxe, it's a style statement in itself. But it can also fit the current baroque trend like a glove, teamed with gold, intricate embroidery and oversized jewelled earrings. For less girly girls, a velvet suit or mannish tux jacket paired with leather skinnies still adds that touch of glamour, while bold colours - think hot pinks, bright yellows and zingy limes - make a refreshing change to classic jewel toned shades. And remember Velvet has its own sheen and glamour factor without over-accessorising. Add a red lip, slim heels and you're ready to dance the night away.

Taylor attended the BMI Awards in Beverly Hills to accept an award named in her honour to recognize her artistic talent and influence. For the occasion, she wore a velvet Monique Lhullier dress because you know, it just pairs so well with her hair. She also accessorized with a black choker.
