The “Fortnight” hitmaker lit up the red carpet in a strapless pastel blue design by Christian Dior, featuring a crystal-embellished bodice and a sparkling bow appliqué just below the neckline. The dress also featured a floor-grazing skirt that billowed out in all directions as Swift posed for the cameras. She accented the centerpiece with massive chandelier earrings, a diamond-studded tennis bracelet, and diamond rings, as well as a glittering gold manicure.

As for beauty, the 36-year-old styled her new short hair in romantic, shoulder-length waves tucked behind her ears. When it came to her makeup, she turned to the usual suspects, glamming up with shimmery eyeshadow, black winged eyeliner, and light pink lipstick.

In addition to Swift’s performance, the gala will honor John Carpenter, Colman Domingo, and Charlize Theron.

Awards season may have only just started last month, but Swift is already having a fabulous run. Her appearance comes on the heels of the MTV VMAs, where she wowed in a Tamara Ralph haute couture look. The creation featured a silver glitter-coated maxiskirt and black velvet bodice with a high neck and totally sheer back. She paired it with 35 carats of diamonds.
