6. Taylor Swift in Roberto Cavalli: Swift turned heads this year in a beautiful navy, two-piece gown adorned in silver sparkles. Loyal fans believe that the gown may be a wink at fans as a nod to her latest album, “Midnights.””. Others think the number could have been in reference to her “Fearless”- era Grammy dress, in which she received a nomination for her “1989” album. Swift has been known to be a master of leaving discreet hints along the way before a new album or song release. Regardless of any potential hidden messages, the two-piece set is classic and simple, flowing elegantly and matched perfectly with her simple updo and red lip.

Overall, the look is both simple while also artistic and perfectly coordinated.
