Teyana Taylor undoubtedly lived up to her reputation as a fashion icon while hosting the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards.
As one of the most anticipated events in the fashion calendar, the awards night provided a perfect platform for Taylor to showcase her stunning style. Known for her daring wardrobe choices and vibrant personality, she did not disappoint this year, revealing one of the most captivating ensembles of the evening.
For this star-studded occasion, Taylor chose a custom look designed by the renowned Thom Browne, who was also in attendance to honor fashion legend Ralph Rucci with the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award.

The intriguing design of the blazer completely concealed her hands, echoing a trend towards oversized silhouettes that allow for both drama and elegance.
Accompanying the statement jacket was a sleek black velvet pencil skirt that perfectly contrasted the imposing nature of the blazer, creating a balance between sophistication and uniqueness. To add an extra layer of intrigue to her look, Taylor donned a matching black hat, reminiscent of a stretched-out newsboy cap, complete with a feathery, frayed front. The accessory complemented her overall aesthetic beautifully, serving as a striking focal point amidst the grandeur of her outfit.

Arranged in flowing trails that resembled strands draped over her body, the rhinestones added an eye-catching sparkle that drew attention and highlighted her movements on the red carpet. This meticulous detail showcased not only Thom Browne’s design mastery but also Teyana’s innate ability to wear an ensemble with confidence and style.
