If you thought the naked dress trend had peaked, Teyana Taylor's latest red carpet appearance is here to prove you wrong. On October 30, the multi-talented performer turned heads at the Time100 Next Gala, wearing a jaw-dropping Tom Ford gown that brought the house down.
Taylor, who graced the cover of Marie Claire, dazzled in Look 44 from Tom Ford's Spring/Summer 2026 collection. She strutted the red carpet like a catwalk model, sporting a daring ensemble that redefined sexy elegance with its thong-like bodice and mermaid maxi skirt.
The bold gown featured a slender mesh strip that hugged her curves from neck to hips, revealing more than just a glimpse of skin. Teyana opted to go mostly bare beneath the provocative design, pairing it with a matching low-rise thong that shimmered through the mesh. Instead of a bra, she chose a classic tuxedo jacket, with lapels strategically placed to cover her bust, adding an element of sophistication to the look.
“Teyana Taylor pushes boundaries once again, showing us why she's a style icon in her own right!”
Known for styling herself, Taylor's choice to pull from Tom Ford's latest collection was nothing short of impressive. The collection, which debuted on October 1, was filled with daring cuts and dramatic silhouettes, but Taylor's choice stood out for its audacious use of mesh.
Unlike the model who originally wore the gown on the runway, styled by creative director Haider Ackermann sans accessories, Teyana added her own touches. She adorned herself with bezeled drop earrings and mismatched rings, ensuring the already bold dress had just the right amount of sparkle.
Though this might be her most revealing look to date, Teyana has never shied away from pushing fashion boundaries. Her fashion-forward journey includes her first Met Gala appearance in 2021, where she donned a custom Prabal Gurung gown that was equally daring. It featured a criss-cross bra, metallic train, and strategic cutouts.
With Teyana Taylor leading the charge, it's clear that the naked dress trend isn't going anywhere. Her fearless approach to fashion continues to inspire and dazzle, keeping fans on their toes and fashionistas taking notes.
