Taylor Swift's pedicure is the most unexpected winter color, yet one of the most evocative of the season.

While it can be hard to focus on the details like Taylor Swift's pedicure instead of having our eyes drawn straight to her Vivienne Westwood look, her latest polish choice has managed to capture our attention. Winter manicure trends are typically marked by dark tones, matte finishes, and a more subdued palette, where deep reds, dark browns, and cool grays along with black tend to reign supreme. However, this year, Taylor Swift has burst onto the scene with a pedicure that defies the rules of the season while also capturing a surprisingly refreshing winter elegance: a sky-blue pedicure.

The pedicure Swift chose for a night out in New York stood out for the contrast with the velvety burgundy fabric of the heeled sandals. Although the sky blue color is unexpected for these cold days as it belongs to the pastel color pallet associated with spring months—although no longer so much—it is officially an option to consider.

Despite her vibrant Vivienne Westwood dress, the “Love Story” singer turned this detail into the most striking touch of her look. Her choice brought a touch of luminosity, softness, and a subtle elegance that broke with the usual schemes. In addition, it is not a color so far away for winter since, we could say, it is one of those that define the winter scene par excellence. Consider the blue of ice, the imagery of the movie Frozen, and the different shades with which the winter season is associated. More than just a color, her pedicure becomes a symbol of relaxed and sophisticated style, ideal for those looking for a charming detail this season.

With this pedicure, Taylor Swift breaks the traditional boundaries of winter fashion and challenges conventions. The pedicure becomes a detail that completes a look, reminding us that every detail–no matter how small–counts. Wearing an unexpected pedicure is a sign of personality that doesn't require much, but has a very powerful impact. Thus, Taylor Swift's pedicure becomes a little lesson in style: it's not just about following trends, but about reinterpreting them in our own way, surprising ourselves and others, and creating a look that is true to one's essence, no matter the season.

In addition, it is necessary to talk about the singer's look, designed by Vivienne Westwood. It is easy to see that the British brand was in charge of the design, since it incorporated the key details of its brand identity: the draping of the bodice, the straps in the shape of a boat neck, and the volume of the skirt. It is not the first time that the “Blank Space” singer has opted for this brand, choosing it continuously both for her most special events, such as The Eras Tour, and for going out with friends in the Big Apple. The design in question stood out for its striped print skirt and corseted bodice featuring an explosion of color.

As for her makeup, she opted for orange to highlight her lips and also for her eye shadows, which she further enhanced with a cat-eyeliner look. For her hair, she opted for a half-updo that let her wavy bangs fall over her forehead framed by some undone curly locks. Vivienne Westwood would be very, very proud of the total look inspired by the brand's raison d'être: rebellion.
