Not everyone was hair for Teyana Taylor‘s latest look.
The One Battle After Another star sparked quite the online reaction with her avant-garde gown at the 2026 Billboard Women in Music event on April 29.
Designer by Ashi Studio, the cream-colored number featured strands of brunette hair embroidered into designs on a sculptural corset, along with a lengthy long brown braid that helped cinch the bodice closed. . She paired the top with an asymmetrical tulle skirt fringed to look like it had been singed by fire.
Teyana completed ensemble with satin, lace-up booties with their own corset-like boning by Christian Louboutin.
Needless to say, the internet was divided.
“It feels grotesque and full of disorganized ideas,” one Instagram user wrote, while another commented, “I say this is her first miss!”
However, a third fan argued, “This outfit and glam are a dramatic statement and it is exquisite.”
But Teyana has always been a fan of fashion pieces with unique details. Take the Chanel dress she wore to the 2026 Oscars, which has the names of her and ex Iman Shumpert‘s daughters Iman “Junie” Shumpert10, and Rue Rose Shumpert5, subtly stitched onto the sheer fabric.
