Looks like we've got a case of who wore it bests on our hands! While we're not contesting the fact that Taylor Swift slayed at the 58th Grammy Awards in a color block Versace Atelier skirt set, we are going to say it lacked... originality. Why? Besides the fact that it resembled a certain prom look Larisa Oleynik's character Bianca wore in 10 Things I Hate About You, it looks exactly like a dress local Miami blogger Kelly Saks custom designed for a wedding she attended last year. Besides a slit, both of their tangerine crop tops and full magenta skirts looked pretty much identical.
Who wore it better?? If anyone can connect me with Taylor's people, I'll happily send over my styling rates. #taylorswift #fashionpolice #grammys #bitchstolemylook

Saks worked with Fernando Wong, a Cuban-born and Miami-based couture designer known best for his elaborate pageant gowns, especially in the South Florida market. Inspired by a mix of Sarah Hyland's orange and white Christian Siriano look for the 2014 Emmys and Emma Stone's Thakoon set for the 2014 Met Ball, Saks sent him the design and he had the dress ready in three days!
So how does the Miami blogger feel about Swift's sartorial mishap? Naturally, she's taking it with stride, as Versace Atelier probably didn't cop the look purposely. (Although who's to say Donatella Versace isn't a huge 10 Things I Hate About You fan?) There's one little thing Saks would like in return from Swift, though.
"I'm currently awaiting my official invite to Tay's girl squad (move over, Sel)," she tells Racked Miami. "Oh, and I'm flattered, naturally."
