Have you seen Taylor Swifts new music video “Bad Blood”? Regardless of whether you are a fan of Swift or her music, the video is a cornucopia of latex and vinyl outfits.
The opening scene starts with Swift in a transparent latex camisole battling “Sin-City” style with Selena Gomez who wears a long sleeve puff cap latex shirt.
Other notable outfits from the video include a futuristic white patent vinyl choker with mini skirt and band top, and winter inspired white vinyl outfits with go-go boots and fur trimmings.
Enough prose – checkout the video below – you’ll need to watch it a few times to take in all the action and gear:
It’s wild how a mainstream pop video managed to feature so many distinct latex looks without it feeling repetitive.
I appreciate how the outfits aren’t just flashy but actually help define each character’s persona in the video.
The layering of latex pieces, like the camisole and structured tops, adds more depth than typical pop video wardrobes.
I didn’t realize how much white vinyl was used throughout until you listed it out, especially in those winter-themed looks.
The go-go boots paired with the white vinyl outfits gave it a retro-futuristic vibe that I hadn’t fully appreciated before.
I didn’t notice the transparent latex camisole in the opening until you pointed it out, but it really sets the tone for that Sin City fight scene with Selena Gomez.
Your mention of Sin City styling is spot on, especially in how the opening scene uses contrast and dramatic costuming.
The mini skirt and band top combo with the choker really sells that futuristic assassin vibe they were going for.
The video definitely rewards multiple watches like you said, especially to catch smaller details like the different textures between latex and patent vinyl.
Seeing it framed as a showcase of latex and vinyl makes me notice how intentional the material choices were across scenes.
Watching it again after reading this, the winter-inspired white vinyl outfits with fur trim stood out way more than I remembered.
It’s interesting how the styling mixes soft elements like fur with harsh, glossy materials like vinyl to create that dramatic contrast.
That long sleeve puff cap latex shirt Selena wears feels almost Victorian but reimagined in latex, which is a cool twist.
Honestly, the sheer latex camisole in the first scene is such a bold choice and fits the whole over-the-top aesthetic perfectly.
The contrast between the puff sleeve latex top on Selena and Taylor’s sleeker look was interesting, especially in that stylized black and red opening sequence.
I like how you called it a cornucopia because there really is a huge range of latex and vinyl looks packed into just a few minutes.
That white patent vinyl choker and mini skirt combo felt straight out of a futuristic runway, not just a music video costume.
