Teyana Taylor Keeps Winning One Fashion Battle After Another

Just one day before the Critics Choice Association’s celebration, Teyana made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live in a pantsuit—though no ordinary pantsuit. The Rabanne look featured a double-breasted blazer embellished with silver sequins on the lapels, one Teyana styled with an equally shining sequined turtleneck.

She styled the look with reflective silver pumps, chunky diamond rings and thick-rimmed black glasses—making her appearance on the late night show a shining example of how even the simplest of looks can be elevated to something that will pack a punch.

Over the years, Teyana—who has also designed her own clothing lines—has been candid about how growing up in Harlem has influenced her fashion choices.

As she explained during Paris Fashion week in 2023, “I mean, Harlem is a whole runway now, you know what I’m saying, especially in my era coming up. Harlem has always been a runway for me.”

And as for what pieces draw her in, she put it succinctly, “I think fashion is an expression, you know? I see it, I like it, I put it on.”

The One Battle After Another star wore this stunning Nicholas Oakwell Couture gown at the Critics Choice Association's 2025 celebration of Black cinema and television event.

The intricate dress—which featured a strapless corset and a long, black shawl draped from one shoulder—was inspired by the dressing room.

“The idea of this dress is very much that she’s in the bedroom putting her corset on,” the designer explained on Instagram. "The door goes and she just grabs this Spanish embroidered scarf and wraps it around herself to go and answer the door. So it’s that sort of story that, ‘I’m half dressed, half not dressed.’”
