One Battle After Another star Teyana Taylor understands something deep in her soul that, to our eternal surprise, so few actresses seem to: the red carpet is a time for HIGH DRAMA. We think it best not to interrupt this gallery with our commentary.

We’re calling this commentary unnecessary because… well, you have eyes, don’t you? If there’s a “message” it’s “My body is sickening.” If there’s a “throughline” it’s “You are not allowed to take your eyes off me.” We’ve noted a time or two before that, even though she could rest on pretty or sexy until the cows came home from wherever those reprobates have been, she always opts for fashion with a high difficulty setting, choosing outfits that look like they would leave you sore after wearing them. That’s her commitment. She will not be denied, ignored or forgotten. Classic movie star attitude.
