Taylor Swift's Striking Golden Globes Dress Confirms Susan Miller's Style Prediction For 2024
In December 2023, Glam spoke exclusively to professional astrologer Susan Miller about not only her forecast for style, love, and more in 2024 but also how Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are facing luck this year. Yes, their whirlwind romance is written in the stars, but so is Swift's 2024 Golden Globes attire. On January 7 — mere weeks after we spoke to Miller — Swift walked the 81st Annual Golden Globes red carpet in Beverly Hills, California, in a sparkling green dress that we later learned hailed from none other than fashion industry staple Gucci. Of course, any good dress has to be accompanied by striking shoes, so Swift rocked Christian Louboutin heels in the same green shade as her dress.
Swift's ensemble, while on the simpler side, is stunning, and it proves that simplicity is perfect when done well. But that's not all that makes it special. In our exclusive chat with Miller, the astrologer told us that green is a key fashion color for 2024 due to Jupiter — the planet that governs developments and evolution, aka the consistent movement of trends — spending half of the year in Gemini. "We're going to get out of [seeing black clothing everywhere], because Gemini is about beautiful yellows and green, like a light [green] — the color of the trees when they just come out," she explained.
Swift stepping out on the carpet in a light-capturing green dress screamed "I'm here" like few others did at the Globes, but her dress was trendier — and might mean more for her 2024 music release schedule — than you'd get from analyzing its color alone.
Taylor Swift's green Gucci dress is a metallic dream
Taylor Swift's 2024 Golden Globes look being on the simpler side is trendy — who knew? As Susan Miller exclusively pointed out to Glam, Jupiter moving into Taurus for the second half of the year means that fashion is going to be more grounded as the year progresses. After all, Taurus is an earth sign.
"Right now, [fashion is] super creative and do-your-own-thing and 'Be as idiosyncratic as you'd like to be,' but we're moving toward a more polished, put-together look," the astrologer told us. We see this in Swift's ensemble — a classic silhouette with stunning dangling earrings from De Beers that exude elegance. And you guessed it: That's on trend, too. "Taurus likes investment clothes and investment jewelry," Miller added. This red carpet appearance even marked a return to bangs for the "Karma" singer, further showcasing Taurus' rising grounding effects as we near Jupiter entering it later this spring.
As if her dress' color and style being perfectly trendy weren't enough, Swift's Gucci dress carries over 2023's metallics trend in a way that feels particularly her. While armor-inspired metallics were all over the runways, meaning silver and gold were the trend's predominant colors, Swift breathed new life into the trend by opting for a green metallic material. Just as Miller told us the green shade that would be trendy in 2024 would be that of a new leaf, Swift surprised us with a new take on the trend, and we can't think of a more breathtaking way that Miller's metaphor could have literally manifested.
Did Taylor Swift's Golden Globes outfit tease her next album?
Swifties are constantly on the lookout for hints when Taylor Swift walks red carpets, and the "Anti-Hero" singer wasn't subtle at 2024's Golden Globes. Proving she can be incredibly trendy and still slip in some Easter eggs, Swift wore both a snake ring on one hand and a dress that looked super snaky as she slithered across the red carpet. That's right: Her dress' metallics were both an established trend and a potential nod to "Reputation (Taylor's Version)" being her next album re-release in 2024. Who could forget the snake emojis and iconography that the "Look What You Made Me Do" singer embraced during the "Reputation" era?
Other fans were convinced that the dress evoked the singer's debut — and eponymous — album due to its color and simplicity. While Swift didn't commit to such distinct and hyper-realized eras at the beginning of her career, many fans agree that "Taylor Swift" was the singer's green era, just as "Red" was her, well, red era. Still, others thought it was a perfect combination of both. "... the dress totally speaks both debut and [Reputation (Taylor's Version)] as well. This could be a sign that we might get both of them this year," one person posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Given that they're the singer's final two albums that require re-releases, the theory that the look pulls from both eras may not be far off. Moreover, since Susan Miller noted green as trendy for early 2024, perhaps "Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version)" will be released before summer and "Reputation (Taylor's Version)" in the second half of the year. Only time will tell.
