At the 68th Grammy Awards held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday evening, Teyana Taylor commanded attention with a breathtaking fashion choice that highlighted her sculpted physique. The 35-year-old Oscar nominee, who rose to fame through reality television, opted for a daring near-naked gown designed by Tom Ford, featuring a plunging neckline and asymmetrical cut-out details that revealed much of her torso.
A Dazzling Red Carpet Appearance
Taylor's glittering bronze dress left little to the imagination as she went braless beneath the sheer fabric, showcasing her toned abs and sensational figure. Despite the gown's inherent wow factor, the singer accessorised with exquisite jewellery, including a $33,000 Tiffany & Co necklace and matching earrings valued at $3,600. She posed confidently on the star-studded red carpet before heading inside the venue, where she was photographed alongside actor Jamie Foxx.
Grammy Night Highlights and Recent Success
During the ceremony, Taylor took to the stage with comedian Nikki Glaser to present Lady Gaga with the award for Best Pop Vocal Album. This appearance followed a remarkable period in her career, having recently won Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture at the Golden Globes for her performance in One Battle After Another. Her surprise victory came despite the Disney+ legal drama in which she starred receiving harsh criticism from reviewers.
In her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, Taylor expressed gratitude to filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson and dedicated her win to her family, including her two daughters and husband Iman Shumpert. She also delivered an empowering message to her "Brown sisters and little Brown girls watching tonight," emphasising that "our softness is not a liability" and "our voices matter."
From Harlem to Hollywood Stardom
Taylor's journey to this moment began in Harlem, New York, where she was encouraged by her mother and manager Nikki Taylor to pursue music, dance, and fashion. She first gained public attention at age 16 on MTV's My Super Sweet 16 in 2007 and later choreographed Beyoncé's Ring The Alarm video. After signing with Pharrell Williams' Star Trak Entertainment, she appeared in music videos for prominent artists including Jay-Z and Kanye West.
Following a five-year hiatus announced in 2020, Taylor returned to release her fourth studio album, Escape Room, which earned her a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, she addressed her friendship with Kanye West, stating that while she doesn't agree with everything he says or does, she refuses to abandon him, despite his controversial public statements in recent years.
The 68th Grammy Awards celebrated numerous winners across various categories, with Bad Bunny taking home Album of the Year for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, Kendrick Lamar and SZA winning Record of the Year for luther, and Billie Eilish earning Song of the Year for WILDFLOWER. Olivia Dean was named Best New Artist, while Lady Gaga added three more Grammys to her collection, including Best Pop Vocal Album for MAYHEM.
