Teyana Taylor, the Oscar-nominated star of One Battle After Another (and every red carpet she walks) is making the most of her breakout year. The actor, singer, and single mom began her working life as a dancer and choreographer—her first job, at age 15, as on Beyoncé’s “Ring the Alarm” video. She dusted off those early career skills Saturday as she hosted The Dirty Rose, a Met Gala 2026 weekend burlesque show and party where cameras were banned…except for Vanity Fair‘s. The lush and beautiful room inside the Times Square EDITION (a co-host of the event) filled up quickly, with stars including Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts, and Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna. The show, when it began, was highly interactive with the star-studded audience, with dancers—including Taylor— leaping from stage to audience and back again, gravity no object. Also on stage was Danielle Brooks, who MCed the evening and performed a knockout song and dance number. Not on stage—but he might as well have been—was Baz Luhrmann, who held court at a booth with a …

Published by Daniella Wilson

After taking home wins for best picture, director and adapted screenplay for One Battle After Another at the 2026 Oscars on Sunday, Paul Thomas Anderson addressed criticism about the film’s portrayal of Black women that has surrounded the movie since its fall release. The filmmaker, who has done very little press during One Battle‘s awards run, appeared in the Oscars press room following his wins, where he was asked about comments particularly over the racial politics involving Teyana Taylor‘s character, revolutionary Perfidia Beverly Hills. “I know a little bit about that critique. I know that Teyana has talked about it a lot. I know that we have the portrayal of many different characters. In particular her character, who was so flawed and unfortunately makes decisions that are detrimental to the revolution that she’s trying to fight,” Anderson told the room of reporters. “It’s complicated. We always knew that we were trying to make something complicated. We knew that we weren’t making something that was heroic and we needed to lean into that. We need to own …

Teyana Taylor Should Win an Oscar for Her Awards Season Fashion Alone

Published by Sam Flores

We should have known when Teyana Taylor arrived at the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet wearing a custom Schiaparelli couture dress finished with a bedazzled bow atop of a visible thong, that she would become this award’s season’s undeniable breakout fashion star. Not only is Taylor the front runner to win the Academy Award for best supporting actress this Sunday at the 2026 Oscars, but I would also place a hefty bet that she’ll be the best dressed star on the red carpet—again. Taylor famously styles herself from time to time, for major events like the Globes and key moments like the BAFTAs. Speaking ahead of the Academy Awards, she tells VF that her decision to self-style stems from both her love for fashion and her commitment to realizing the dreams she had before she had access to clothes and designers of the caliber she does now. Whenever she is wearing a custom look, Taylor has worked on it directly with the house. Otherwise, she works with styling duo Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald, who …

Learn the language of the invisible so that your presence always speaks,” she added before acknowledging her fellow honorees and delivering final remarks: “Wake up, stay woke, because we who believe in freedom will not rest until it comes.” Infiniti was recognized as a rising star in a presentation by her One Battle After Another co-star Teyana Taylor, whom she thanked for being one of the Black women who has helped guide her in the early days of her acting career. …
