Teyana Taylor is renowned for her on-trend and eccentric style, with anything she wears carefully selected.
On the heels of her Golden Globe win for One Battle After Another, the star appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she showcased not just her vocal talents but also her eye for fashion.
For the interview segment of the show, Teyana took to the stage in a striking grey outfit from Mugler’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection. Styled by fashion duo Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald, her ensemble featured a silky long-sleeve base adorned with a matte halter-neck crop top.

Completing the look were thigh-high leather square-toe boots that maintained the sleek monochrome aesthetic all the way down.
As she discussed her latest album, Escape Room, and her action-thriller film, The Rip, which debuted on Netflix that same day, the outfit made a bold statement reflective of her artistic journey.
When it came time for her much-anticipated performance of “Hard Part” alongside Lucky Daye, Taylor dazzled the audience once again, this time in a breathtaking cream gown crafted from an unexpected material: up-cycled piano waste. Designed by London’s innovative artist, Maximilian Raynor, the wool gown was a symbol of sustainability and creativity, showcasing the possibilities of recycled fashion.

This choice was particularly fitting, as it resonated with the emotional themes of her performance, echoing hard-hitting sentiments while allowing for moments of intimacy.
Maximilian Raynor expressed his joy at the collaboration, describing the experience as a “pinch me moment”. He thanked Taylor on Instagram for championing emerging designers, stating that he “couldn’t have had a better person wear this dress.”
The collaboration highlights Taylor’s commitment to supporting new talent but also reflects a growing movement within the fashion industry focused on sustainability and artistic expression.
