Teyana Taylor turned heads at the 2026 Billboard Women in Music event, arriving in a bold Ashi Studio gown that left the internet divided.
The cream-colored dress featured strands of brunette hair embroidered into the sculptural corset, with a long braid laced through the bodice to cinch it closed. She paired the top with an asymmetrical tulle skirt fringed to resemble singed edges, completing the look with lace-up Christian Louboutin booties.
Reactions on social media were mixed. One Instagram user commented, "It feels grotesque and full of disorganized ideas," while another wrote, "I say this is her first miss!" However, a third fan defended the ensemble, saying, "This outfit and glam are a dramatic statement and it is exquisite."
Taylor, 35, has consistently embraced fashion with unique details. At the 2026 Oscars, she wore a Chanel dress with her daughters' names subtly stitched into the sheer fabric. Reflecting on her awards season style, she told W Magazine, "Each look has its own moment, and it’s all about how I’m feeling that day and what story I want to tell." She described her red carpet prep as "organized chaos," adding, "My kids are usually there running around. It might look crazy from the outside, but the energy is right."
While opinions on the hair dress remain split, Taylor’s willingness to take risks continues to make her a standout on the red carpet.
