Teyana Taylor Wore Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann To The 2025 TIME100 Next Event

Teyana Taylor attended the 2025 TIME100 Next event at Pier 59 in New York City, momentarily stepping away from her All’s Fair press tour to remind everyone that she’s in a league of her own when it comes to red carpet risk-taking.

Now, in light of yesterday’s critique of Sydney Sweeney’s Christian Cowan look, I know this will seem a little hypocritical — because yes, this is even more see-through. But here’s the thing: context matters.

Teyana’s Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann Spring 2026 ensemble — featuring a razor-sharp black wool-silk Panama collarless jacket layered over a sheer, ultrafine viscose knit halter dress — operates on a completely different frequency, at least for me.

Yes, this is also about shock value, but it’s also about mastery of proportion, posture, and attitude. Where most would crumble under the precision of Ackermann’s sensual tailoring, Teyana holds her own. The jacket’s crisp structure against the fluid transparency of the gown highlights her sculpted silhouette while maintaining the designer’s signature balance between allure and artistry.

There’s a clear nod to Helmut Newton’s erotic power play and Tom Ford’s early-2000s provocations. This isn’t a look for everyone, nor is it meant to be. But in the right hands — hers — it’s not scandalous; it’s sensational.

Stylist: Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald.
