Teyana Taylor Wore Alaïa To Variety’s Creative Impact Awards And 10 Directors To Watch
Teyana Taylor joined her One Battle After Another co-star Chase Infiniti on the red carpet for Variety’s Creative Impact Awards and 10 Directors To Watch brunch during the Palm Springs International Film Festival.

For me, this Alaïa Spring 2026 dress is very Tracee Ellis Ross-coded, but it’s also such a cool look for Teyana and a genuinely refreshing change of pace, while still feeling aligned with her confidence and presence on the red carpet.
The design reads almost like two garments fused into one — as if a softly draped jersey halter dress forms the core, with a leather coat element integrated directly into the silhouette. That hybrid approach speaks to Mulier’s ongoing architectural experiments at Alaïa, where shape and silhouette are constantly being reworked into something sculptural yet wearable.
OGs will instantly clock the burgundy Saint Laurent Tribute platform sandals — once a staple footwear choice back in the day.
Stylists: Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald.
