If style were a language, Teyana Taylor would speak it fluently — moving between red carpets, major premieres and fashion’s most prestigious nights with an intuitive ease that feels both bold and deeply personal. In 2025 she has not just worn clothes, she has told stories through them — layering heritage, theatre and sartorial confidence into each moment.
1. Met Gala 2025 — Tailoring Black Style
At the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Met Gala, with the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” Taylor turned the red carpet into a stage for cultural symbolism. She collaborated with legendary costume designer Ruth E. Carter to create a custom three‑piece pinstripe suit in deep red and grey, paired with a dramatic padded cape embroidered with “Harlem Rose”. The ensemble was finished with red leather gloves, a feathered fedora, a bold cane and platform heels — a look that honoured Black dandyism and her Harlem roots while reaffirming her mastery of tailoring.
2. ELLE Women in Hollywood
At the ELLE Women in Hollywood event, Taylor stepped out in a striking gold Balmain gown. The hooded silhouette featured a plunging neckline and sculptural belt, balanced with gold strappy heels — an elegant, cinematic moment that proved her ability to shift between structured tailoring and couture glamour.
3. Governors Awards
Taylor embraced timeless glamour at the Governors Awards in a fitted Miss Sohee gown. The look referenced classic eveningwear but was rendered in a way that felt bold and confident, anchoring her as both a style and cultural figure of the year.
4. CFDA Fashion Awards
Hosting the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Awards, she donned multiple looks from Thom Browne, including a white tuxedo‑inspired suit embellished with Swarovski crystals and dramatic proportions that merged tradition with avant‑garde tailoring.
5. All’s Fair London Premiere
At the All’s Fair London premiere, Taylor delivered a couture moment in a Tamara Ralph ensemble. The crocodile‑embossed leather dress was sharply tailored with a corseted waist, exaggerated collar and metallic detailing — equal parts fierce and theatrical.
6. One Battle After Another London Premiere
For the One Battle After Another premiere in London, she embraced a more street‑meets‑elegant aesthetic with a look that combined a leather bra top with a long trench coat and floor‑length skirt — a bold, body‑confident moment paired with platform shoes and a balaclava.
7. TIME100 Next Gala
Taylor continued to push boundaries at the TIME100 Next gala, where she wore a daring sheer Tom Ford dress held up by a single string, paired with an open blazer. The outfit was one of 2025’s most talked‑about red carpet‑risk moments, blending minimal structure with fearless confidence.
8. Critics Choice Association Celebration of Black Cinema & Television
Most recently, Taylor turned heads in a couture piece from Nicholas Oakwell at the Critics Choice Association’s celebration of Black cinema and television. The look evoked old‑world glamour with modern sensibility — one of the year’s elegant closing chapters in her 2025 style story.
What makes Teyana Taylor’s fashion in 2025 so compelling isn’t just the clothes, but the confidence with which she inhabits them. Her wardrobe feels intentional — each outfit shaped by context, narrative and self‑possession. Whether she’s redefining tailoring at the Met Gala or pushing boundaries with minimalist couture, she commands the spotlight not because she follows trends, but because she reimagines them.
This year, Taylor’s presence has extended far beyond red carpets. She has continued to make waves in entertainment with roles in One Battle After Another and All’s Fair, while also being celebrated by fashion and cultural institutions alike. Through it all, her style has acted as a creative language — one that communicates power, heritage and fearless self‑expression.
