How Taylor Swift Got Us Green With Jewellery Envy With ‘Showgirl’

Taylor Swift’s twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, made its long-awaited entrance to major fanfare. While some show appreciation for its current and shiny sound, others harp on the clunky and shallow stanzas. Either way, the singer has broken both records and the internet. This, of course, came as no surprise, as the buzz had been through the roof since Swift dropped the concept photos. Her tapping into the swanky side of stage life has given us a wealth of materials to swoon over. The glitz of her spectacular jewels is especially noteworthy. From Lorraine Schwartz’s diamond cuffs to Etho Maria’s drop earrings, the exquisite pieces are seamlessly woven into the narrative.

Ahead, we list down all the standout looks from the Showgirl era and ways you can emulate them.

Feathered headpieces in broad daylight may be a tad outré, but that doesn’t mean you can’t channel the same energy. All you need is a sparkly tiara. If the crowd’s attention is what you seek, rest assured that the elegant Joséphine Aigrette Impériale tiara by Chaumet will turn heads. Those who prefer something more demure may opt for the Miss Daisy tiara by David Morris.

Chandelier earrings make a memorable cameo on the album. Cascading with blinding sparklers, they echo the opulence of a bygone cabaret era. They are dramatic, glamorous, and unapologetically theatrical—not unlike Swift herself. The same qualities can be found in the pearl-embellished Rete Con Perle earrings by Buccellati as well as the diamond-set Talisman chandelier earrings by De Beers.

Bold and bulky necklaces are often used by showgirls to accentuate the neckline. The dizzying spectacle of glamour is all but guaranteed when the stones catch the stage lights. Cartier’s Diamond Collections necklace promises the same effect with an ensemble of over 800 diamonds. Bvlgari’s Serpenti necklace trails closely with its diamond-studded, open-worked snakeskin.

What’s maximalism without the opulence of body chains? Swift knows this all too well, pun intended, as she goes all in on the vintage-burlesque aesthetics. That shot of her in a bejewelled bra top and matching belt-bottoms says as much. To recreate the look, go with either the diamond-encrusted body chain by Jacquie Aiche or the pearl version by Aquae Jewels (or both!)

Swift parades a number of chunky wrist jewels in The Life of a Showgirl’s concept photos. The ones on the cover art, in particular, are unmistakable. Harry Winston’s Winston Couture bracelet features a similar design code, characterised by a mesh of round brilliant and pear-shaped diamonds. Meanwhile, Louis Vuitton’s Pure V two-row bracelet offers a visually robust alternative.
