Teyana Taylor Wore Saint Laurent To The 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards
As expected, Teyana Taylor went firmly against the grain while stepping onto the red carpet at the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards in Santa Monica on Sunday evening.
The One Battle After Another actress took a Saint Laurent Fall 2025 menswear look and made it entirely her own. Yes, this is the same collection that left many scratching their heads when the thigh-high leather boots debuted on the runway—boots that neither Alexander Skarsgård nor Pedro Pascal fully managed to sell, despite their undeniable charisma. But context matters, and so does confidence.
On Teyana, the boots aren’t the headline—they’re part of a larger, sharply considered picture. The brown double-breasted suit anchors the look with authority, its classic tailoring offset by a crisp shirt and striped tie that nod to traditional menswear codes. Draped over one shoulder, the dramatic black feathered stole injects texture and attitude. Leather gloves and the commanding boots finish the look, reinforcing that this wasn’t about novelty footwear, but about conviction.
What makes this work is Teyana’s ease within the look. She doesn’t soften it, apologise for it, or try to translate it into something more conventionally “red carpet.” She inhabits it fully, allowing the masculinity of the silhouette to sit comfortably alongside her presence.
Tiffany & Co. diamond stud earrings in platinum, paired with a Sixteen Stone by Tiffany & Co. ring, added a refined finish.
When Teyana Taylor commits to a fashion choice, she commits completely—and the result speaks for itself.
Stylists: Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald.
