13 Taylor Swift-inspired party looks that are guaranteed to bring the drama

What better way to pay tribute to Ms Swift than an ode to her OG days? Recreate the “Teardrops On My Guitar” look with Fenty Beauty’s Snap Shadows Eyeshadow Palette in Smoky ($41 at Sephora), a thin curling wand and a sprinkle of face gems. Just add a rhinestone-studded guitar and some cowgirl boots and you’re set.

The signature look from Swift’s Fearless era makes the perfect pairing for besties and frenemies alike. Whilst the blonde of your Swiftie duo gets off easy with a curly low-bun and minimal makeup, your better brown-haired half gets to rep a subtle cat eye (of course) and pink pout.

Perhaps one of the most iconic looks from Taylor, her “22” aesthetic is so easy to recreate —  we’d recognise those feathery bangs and bold red lips anywhere. The red lipstick queen herself reaches for MAC’s Retro Matte Lipstick in shade Ruby Woo ($32 at The Iconic) for her signature pop of colour.

Embrace your inner drama queen with this chaotic-but-still-chic look. It’s the perfect lazy girl look — perfect for those of us who are yet to master a cat-eye. Swipe on a coat of red lipstick and ruby nail polish to complete the look.

Grab the girlies and channel Swift’s squad with this iconic revenge look. Pretty much anything goes with this Halloween look; you’ll just need a smokey eye with bold liner and a serious thirst for revenge.

Jenny Humphries eat your heart out. Swift’s 2016 Met Gala look truly epitomised her ‘Reputation’ era. If you’re currently sporting a blonde bob, half the work is done for this look. All you need is a deep crimson lip and attitude to match.

Five years on and Taylor Swift bathing in diamonds still lives in our heads rent-free. This look calls for a smokey eye (the bolder the better), cherry red lips and coffin nails to match. Try Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in shade Love That Red ($21.99 at Chemist Warehouse) for a juicy revenge pout.

If getting even is on your mind, channelling this Reputation-inspired look should be at the top of your list. Achieve the wet hair aesthetic with a combination of Matrix Total Results A Curl Can Dream Light-Hold Gel ($26.73 at Oz Hair & Beauty) and KEVIN.MURPHY Motion Lotion ($42.95 at Adore Beauty).

If you’re in the mood for something a little more romantic (wedding season is upon us, after all), this Lover era look is your answer. And what’s a Halloween party without a bit of glitter? Complete the look with beachy waves and blue-tinted tips using Wella’s Color Fresh Mask ($36 at Sephora).

Halloween is as good a time as any to say “f**k the patriarchy” (and throw the keychain on the ground). This is easily one of our fave options for it may not be the most beauty-centric costume, but Tay would definitely be proud.

If we had to choose one of Swift’s personas to emulate, it would be that of the “You Need To Calm Down” music video. You can never have too much pink and that Old Hollywood-inspired hair is just *chef’s kiss*.  Don’t forget to swipe on a coat of a candy pink gloss and grab your martini before heading out to cause chaos.

Looking for a low-key Halloween look? Opt for a bare-faced aesthetic and barely-there lipstick to nail Swift’s most laid-back look. And as for your hair, a flexible styling cream works wonders to achieve that tousled wave texture for a French braid. 

Want to make the whole place shimmer when you walk in the room? Grab your bestie and channel Taylor’s ‘Bejeweled’ aesthetic. Iconic makeup artist Pat McGrath, who also happens to feature in the music video, shared the products she used to create each look in an Instagram post. The hero products? Her MTHRSHP Mega: Celestial Nirvana palette ($145 at Pat McGrath) and LiquiLUST: Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick in shade Elson 4  ($48.64 at Net-A-Porter).
