Forget the towering feather headdresses, the bejeweled, glittering dresses, and all that vintage Bob Mackie<\/a>. Taylor Swift<\/a>‘s “Opalite” music video outfits, the start of her Life of a Showgirl<\/em> style era<\/a>‘s second chapter, are playfully, meaningfully anti-2026 fashion trends<\/a> and runway designers. Think less pop star “in her glittering prime,” more everyday girl circa 1994.<\/p>\n

On February 6, Taylor Swift<\/a> returned in her first music video since October’s smash-hit “The Fate of Ophelia” with an ode to being your authentic self\u2014and finding someone who’s equally on-board\u2014with a dash of nostalgic ’90s trends<\/a>. Stylist Joseph Cassell Falconer appeared to do more vintage sourcing<\/a> than shopping Swift’s favorite luxury labels for this one. In the five-minute video, Swift plays a “Lonely Woman” (per the credits), whose best friend is a rock until a spritz of “Opalite” spray makes her over, and introduces her to a perfect match in Domhnall Gleeson. (Before he’s magically connected with Swift, his companion is a cactus.) She moves through her isolated days in ribbed tank tops, choker necklaces, and light-wash jeans\u2014and in a nod to the Eras Tour<\/a>, she beads a friendship bracelet for her non-sentient friend.<\/p>\n

The throwback fashions continue once Swift and Gleeson meet, abandoning their former companions for something more…animated. They lace up Reebok Club C sneakers<\/a>. They take mall photos in coordinating patterned sweaters and high-waist denim<\/a>. Swift even accessorizes in tune with the decade, topping her hair with oversize scrunchies and slinging a fanny pack around her waist. (Credits for the looks are slim at press time, but Marie Claire<\/em> will add them as they are identified.)<\/p>\n
