Taylor Swift's elaborate costume for the cover of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, was created by legendary designer Bob Mackie and originally designed for the Las Vegas show "Jubilee."
Mackie described the costume as featuring a crown-like headpiece, feather accents, and beading chains, all contributing to a regal and extravagant vibe.
The costume's intricate details include French wirework, set stones, and drops, with the undergarments backed with a blush fabric for a nude illusion.
Showgirl ensembles can weigh between 10 and 40 pounds due to heavy embellishments, according to stylist Jose Rodrigo.
Swift announced the release date of her album, October 3, and revealed the tracklist, collaborations, and an alternate cover for The Life of a Showgirl: The Shiny Bug Vinyl Collection.
