Her glittering David Koma gown stole the show, with its sleek black bustier and see-through net skirt composed of an interlocking web of silver and emerald crystals. The dress, which was a custom look based on a different piece from the brand's fall/winter 2023 collection, apparently holds a deeper meaning that pays homage to the late Queen Elizabeth II. CNN reported that the emerald-toned jewels were modeled off the monarch's own emerald collection.

To finish the ensemble, Swift stepped out in black velvet slingbacks from Giuseppe Zanotti, as well as an array of enchanting silver jewelry pieces from brands like Delfina Delettrez, Anita Ko, and Repossi.
As for glam, Swift wore a tight bun with blown-out bangs and rosy makeup with a dark blue shadow and cat eye "sharp enough to kill a man."

Swift became the night's top-winning artist, ultimately garnering four awards for Best Artist, Best Video, Best Pop, and Best Longform Video for "All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version)."
