A red-carpet moment built on illusion
Teyana Taylor delivered one of the most striking fashion statements at the SAG Actor Awards 2026, stepping out in a custom creation by Thom Browne that played with the idea of exposure without revealing skin.
The strapless gown featured a trompe l’oeil corset effect, with a sculpted white-and-grey breastplate echoing classical statuary. It flowed into a metallic sequinned skirt finished with a long train, blending theatricality with couture precision.

A fresh twist on a familiar style code
Taylor has often experimented with sheer and body-revealing silhouettes, including a recent appearance at the Schiaparelli spring 2026 couture show in a lace midi dress styled with jewellery references to historic Louvre pieces.
Her latest look, however, leaned more conceptual — a fashion-forward interpretation that observers suggested would not look out of place at the Met Gala.

A family affair on the carpet
Joining her for the evening was her daughter, Rue Rose Taylor Shumpert, who was seen adjusting the dramatic train as they posed for photographers, with Taylor joking that she had brought along an “expensive stylist”.
Taylor’s onscreen daughter, Chase Infiniti, also embraced high fashion in a crystal-embellished gown by Louis Vuitton, adding to the night’s coordinated style moment.
