Taylor Swift once again proved she’s a red-carpet style icon at the 2019 Billboard Women in Music event, wearing a stunning Oscar de la Renta jumpsuit with bold chain details. But what really stole the show? Her statement-making Sergio Rossi SR1 sandals that added the perfect touch of elegance.

Taylor Swift’s Love for Oscar de la Renta
Taylor Swift has consistently turned to Oscar de la Renta for red-carpet moments, from ethereal gowns to modern jumpsuits. From her ethereal fil coupé gown at the Cats premiere, where she channeled old Hollywood glamour with a romantic floral motif, to her effortlessly chic vermilion red A-line dress, which she styled with Prada slingbacks for a polished daytime look—her choices showcase the designer’s versatility.
At the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift flaunts her legs in a sexy Oscar de la Renta mini dress paired with metallic silver Christian Louboutin ‘Bombina Pampilla’ sandals. She also looked chic on the streets of New York City in a chic Oscar de la Renta short-sleeve floral-printed dress.
Honored with the Woman of the Decade Award
Joined on the red carpet by legendary ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’ singer Cyndi Lauper, Swift accepted the first-ever Woman of the Decade Award on the eve of her 30th birthday. The award was presented to her by The Good Place actress Jameela Jamil.

A Powerful Speech on the Music Industry
During her acceptance speech, the Grammy-winning pop star looked back at the past decade of her career and criticized how the media has portrayed her.
She ended the speech by saying, “Lately, I’ve been focusing less on doing what they say I can’t do and more on doing whatever the hell I want.”
Taylor Swift’s Bold Stand Against Scooter Braun
Taylor also took the opportunity to address Scooter Braun directly and called out the overall “toxic male privilege” in the music industry.

“This just happened to me without my approval, consultation, or consent. After I was denied the chance to purchase my music outright, my entire catalog was sold to Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings in a deal that I’m told was funded by the Soros family, 23 Capital, and that Carlyle Group. Yet, to this day, none of these investors have bothered to contact me or my team directly, to perform their due diligence on their investment,” Taylor said.
“On their investment in me. To ask how I might feel about the new owner of my art, the music I wrote, the videos I created, photos of me, my handwriting, my album designs.”
“And of course, Scooter never contacted me or my team to discuss it prior to the sale or even when it was announced. I’m fairly certain he knew exactly how I would feel about it, though, and let me just say that the definition of toxic male privilege in our industry is people saying ‘but he’s always been nice to me’ when I’m raising valid concerns about artists and their right to own their music. And of course, he’s nice to you. If you’re in this room, you have something he needs,” she added.

The Women of the Industry Had Her Back
“The fact is that private equity enabled this man to think, according to his own social media post, that he could ‘buy me.’ But I’m obviously not going willingly. Yet the most amazing thing was to discover that it would be the women in our industry who would have my back and show me the most vocal support at one of the most difficult times, and I will never, ever forget it. Like, ever.”
Taylor asked everyone in the audience to “stand as an example for someone else in the next generation that loves the same thing that we love.”

She ended her lengthy speech by saying, “No matter what else enters the conversation, we will always bring it back to music. As for me, lately, I’ve been focusing less on what they say I can’t do and more on doing whatever the hell I want.”
With a billowy silhouette, Taylor Swift’s jumpsuit features an asymmetric bodice and relaxed-fit legs, creating a bohemian aesthetic. Bejeweled with chain shoulder straps and delicate chains at the front, it embodies understated decadence.
Taylor Swift’s Effortless Accessories and Styling
She styled her jumpsuit with Sergio Rossi SR1 shoes, a Jimmy Choo clutch, earrings by Ana Khouri and Âme, a bracelet and rings by Marli New York, and rings by Maxior and Le Vian.
Taylor Swift knows how to make a statement in jumpsuits, always pairing them with bold heels to complete the look. At the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, she donned a sultry white Balmain jumpsuit featuring daring cutouts, complemented by Brian Atwood shoes, creating a retro-rock vibe.
In another instance, during the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Taylor opted for a black sequined Saint Laurent jumpsuit, channeling a ‘Catwoman’ look, and paired it with Giuseppe Zanotti ‘Lavinia’ platform booties, adding a fierce touch to her outfit.
Her footwear enhances her stature and accentuates the sleek lines of her jumpsuits, demonstrating her keen eye for styling. For those looking to emulate Taylor’s chic jumpsuit and heel combinations, exploring various styles can offer inspiration on how to achieve a similarly polished look.
