Teyana Taylor made a bold fashion statement while attending the TIME Women of the Year Gala. She stepped out in a sculptural runway look from Schiaparelli’s Fall/Winter 2026 ready-to-wear collection.
Taylor wore an eye-catching corseted bustier that immediately captured attention with its artistic structure. The piece featured a high-neck silhouette crafted in brown corset toile. Schiaparelli layered the design with multiple sheets of jersey to create a dramatic “second-skin” effect. The shape is moulded around the upper body, giving the bustier a surreal form. It was an aesthetic that aligns perfectly with Schiaparelli’s ideology of merging fashion with art.

At the waist, there was a panel covered with vintage crystals. The detail resembled a jewel-like belt. It added texture and sparkle, which contrasted well with the minimalist structure of the bustier.
Taylor paired the statement top with a long black velvet skirt that flared toward the hem. Intricate embroidery of micro sequins, beads, and ostrich feathers covered the skirt, adding shimmer and movement as she walked. A sheer tulle stripe along the sides subtly revealed her hips. Overall, the design showed signature Schiaparelli craftsmanship. Taylor’s styling allowed the dramatic construction of the garment to remain the focal point, emphasizing the combination of sculptural tailoring and detailing.
Her beauty look complemented the outfit’s strong fashion presence. Taylor wore her hair in a sleek, sculpted pixie style. She wore earrings that featured “a grey cabochon center piece surrounded by rhinestone-encrusted metal eyelashes and drop pearls in silver,” as described by Schiaparelli. This further emphasized the architectural design of the ensemble.
By bringing the runway look to the red carpet, Taylor transformed Schiaparelli’s design into a glamorous evening moment. The outfit perfectly captured the label’s signature blend of drama, craftsmanship, and bold couture.
