Taylor Swift Takes Center Stage at the 2021 Grammys Wearing Cottagecore-Inspired Florals
The self-professed queen of cottagecore, Taylor Swift, stuns in a long-sleeved Oscar de la Renta dress at the 2021 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California. Nominated for six awards, including Album of the Year for Folklore, Swift made history this year for becoming the first female artist ever to win Album of the Year three times.
Swift’s 70s-esque dress was an absolute show-stopper, showcasing intricately embroidered, 3D floral appliqués that bring fresh pickings from the garden to mind. Co-creative directors of the esteemed fashion house, Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, took inspiration from a beloved cottagecore pastime—pressing flowers—to construct the flower print mini dress, which was the indisputable hit of the brand’s Fall 2021 collection.
Beyond its obvious implications on the worlds of fashion and music, the cottagecore subculture has also translated to flower trends for 2021 and beyond. You can read more about the cottagecore aesthetic in floral design here, so for now, we’ll let you ponder the beauty of these folklorish arrangements that capture the spirit of Swift's Grammy fashion statement of the night.
