Taylor Swift’s 2010s style made a comeback at Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy gala on Saturday night.
“Real Housewives of Miami” star Julia Lemigova exclusively tells Page Six Style that she chose to channel the superstar at the glitzy Los Angeles event by wearing the same Naeem Khan gown she performed in at the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards.
“I love Naeem’s designs, they’re always so glamorous and culturally rich. This piece in particular struck me as evocative, but classic and elegant,” the model, 51, exclusively tells Page Six Style of the black-and-nude number that features intricate beading.
Lemigova, who attended Davis’ bash with tennis legend wife Martina Navratilova, adds, “When I learned that Taylor wore this dress, I had to buy it for my own collection.”
Lemigova — who previously wore a custom metallic number by Naeem Khan to the “RHOM” Season 5 reunion — tells us that she not only appreciates Swift’s sartorial sensibilities, but her music and business acumen as well.

“I love what she stands for,” she says, heaping praise on the Eras Tour performer, “and what she represents for women in business and arts.”
The Bravolebrity — who made history as the first out lesbian “Housewife” to be cast on the reality TV franchise when “Miami” was rebooted in 2021 — notes that Swift’s pro-LGBTQIA+ anthem “You Need to Calm Down” is always in rotation.
The “Cruel Summer” singer, who is expected to attend Sunday night’s Grammys ceremony at LA’s Crypto.com Arena, is nominated in six categories.
Swift is up for song of the year, record of the year and best pop solo performance for the No. 1 smash “Anti-Hero,” best pop duo/group performance for “Karma” with Ice Spice as well as best pop vocal album and album of the year for “Midnights.”
It’s safe to say that Lemigova is rooting for Swift at this year’s show. “I am a big fan of Taylor,” she emphasizes.
Although Swift didn’t make an appearance at Davis’ illustrious Grammys gala this year, Lemigova brushed elbows with a bevy of icons who came out to celebrate.
Cher, Kylie Minogue and Shania Twain made up part of the star-studded guest list, as did Megan Thee Stallion, Dua Lipa, Avril Lavigne and Paris Hilton.
Lemigova, however, made an unexpected connection with former NBA pro Scottie Pippen — the ex-husband of her “RHOM” adversary Larsa Pippen.
“Nice to meet you,” she wrote in a Saturday night Instagram Story post, accompanied by a photo of herself and Navratilova, 67, posing with Scottie, 58, in the lobby of the Beverly Hilton.
Lemigova and Larsa, 49, recently clashed after the latter shared castmate Guerdy Abraira’s breast cancer diagnosis with others — without permission.
Lara’s flub upset Lemigova in particular, as she has experienced the pain of a cancer diagnosis.
Her spouse, Navratilova, has battled the disease multiple times over. The athlete announced her most recent bout — double diagnoses of Stage 1 throat and breast cancer — in late 2022, but had beat both forms of the disease by March of this year.
“Martina, when she was diagnosed with cancer, very few people knew,” Lemigova told Page Six in November 2023.
“The people she shared it with never betrayed her. I feel Larsa betrayed Guerdy.”
“The Real Housewives of Miami” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
