7 Iconic Taylor Swift Red Carpet Looks I Recreated With Nothing But A Glue Gun And Some Fabric

And this year's took 45 hours to finish.

I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan and a few years ago I started recreating her red carpet looks for costume parties. The only catch is: I didn't sew any of them.

1. 2015 Grammys in Elie Saab

Found these shoes at GoodWill for $10 and knew I had to make this dress.

2. 2018 AMAs in Balmain

This look took 150 hot-glue sticks, 3000 tiny mirrors (I only ordered 1500 and had to expedite 1500 more), and a few burnt fingertips.

3. 2018 Grammys in Versace

This was the first look I ever attempted and I learned quickly that hot-gluing pleats while the skirt is on your body is *not* advised.

4. 2019 Golden Globes in Versace

I searched for *weeks* to find this fabric, but once I did, the dress itself only took around 8 hours to make.

5. 2019 Time 100 Gala in J. Mendel

Fun fact: this dress cost only $25 to make and the belt is actually just a covered shoelace!

6. 2020 Golden Globes in Etro

I refused to buy fabric that didn't closely resemble this print, so I made the dress in blue fabric and hand-painted the flowers 😅 Note to self: Taffeta & paint do not get along very well.

These flowers were also hand-painted, but then hand-cut and glued on individually. Does this make me out of my mind? Absolutely. Am I most proud of this one? Without a doubt. 45 hours well spent!
