Inside Taylor Swift's 'Eras' tour wardrobe – from designer sketches to outfit details
The star has finally wrapped her mammoth world tour; a three-hour set in which she showcased a series of striking bodysuits and ball gowns
Taylor Swift's record-breaking 'Eras' tour has finally wrapped, following a series of nights in Vancouver, Canada. The mammoth tour saw the singer perform 149 different shows across 53 countries over the course of 21 months, having first kicked off in Arizona in March 2023. It is the first tour in history to have surpassed $1 billion in ticket sales, with final figure coming in at more than $2 billion, as confirmed by her production company.
When Swift took to the stage for the final show on 8 December, she told the audience that it has been "the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, challenging" experience of her career. She also praised her community of fans, who have taken to making and exchanging friendship bracelets at each of her concerts.
"I never thought that writing one line about friendship bracelets would have you guys all making friendship bracelets, making friends and bringing joy to each other. That is the lasting legacy of this tour," she said. "I couldn't be more proud of you."
The 'Eras' show – which was more than three hours long – was split into different sections to represent each of Swift's albums, and featured a string of high-octane costumes, with bespoke outfits for each era.
"The tour represents a very important moment in Taylor's career, because she conceived and built it as a journey through the different moments or, as the title suggests, the musical eras defining her career," explained Alberta Ferretti, one of the designers behind some of Swift's many on-stage ensembles. "I'm honoured that she asked me to design dresses for this special occasion. I have always been fascinated by women who constantly question and challenge themselves and Taylor, with her work, has demonstrated to be a multifaceted artist, able to constantly transform and evolve."
Each look was carefully considered and designed to reflect the feel of each album: a floaty lilac Alberta Ferretti gown and a ruffled orange Etro design for Folklore, for example, or a one-legged snake-motif Roberto Cavalli jumpsuit for Reputation. As the tour has progressed, Swift has debuted the occasional new piece at each destination, switching up the wardrobe slightly from venue to venue.
In the brief tour hiatus before the European leg, Swift released a new album – The Tortured Poets Department – in April 2024, which meant that fans who bought tickets for shows after that date were treated to an expanded set list.
Here, we chart some highlights from the impressive tour wardrobe, from designer sketches to up-close details:
Roberto Cavalli
As she kicked off the final leg of her tour in Miami, Swift debuted an updated version of her asymmetric Roberto Cavalli Reputation jumpsuit, this time with glittering golden snakes curling up from her ankle to her neck.

The three-dimensional snake is fully articulated with gold baguettes, black bezels, and crystal stone accents. This version of the jumpsuit features the cobra facing upwards (while the previous red version had the animal's head pointing down). Matching combat boots feature the same base and embroidery.
Roberto Cavalli
The singer has worn multiple versions of this floaty chiffon Roberto Cavalli gown throughout the tour, for the Acoustic section, debuting this red, magenta and teal version in Miami.

The hemline of the dress is shorter in the front and extends longer in the back, and is entirely covered in crystals in colours following the shades and gradients of the fabric.

The singer also showcased another new Roberto Cavalli design, custom-made by creative director Fausto Puglisi – this time a shimmering blue and silver mini-dress with a fringed skirt, worn with glittering Chrisian Louboutin boots.

Vivienne Westwood
The singer debuted a new custom Vivienne Westwood dress on her opening night in Milan.
