Last night, **Taylor Swift’**s “Bad Blood” video debuted at the Billboard Awards in Las Vegas, featuring Kendrick Lamar—and the kind of fashion star power we haven’t seen since **George Michael’**s supermodel-fueled “Freedom” days: Gigi! Karlie! Cara! Welcome back, Cindy! But while the dizzying number of T. Swift friends facing off in neo-noir action-babe wardrobe (including Lena Dunham and Jessica Alba) is reason enough to hit replay, it’s the flurry of graphic liquid flicks, oxblood lips, and slick futuristic ponytails that may be worth riffing off in real life. Because when the queen of demure elegance ditches her neat bob and ladylike lipstick for a Sin City–inspired chop and grease-painted lids, it’s definitely time to sharpen your eye pencils.
