Teyana Taylor in Balenciaga at the 2026 American Music Awards: IN or OUT?

We feel like Teyana Taylor is trying to evolve her style a bit and we can do nothing but support those efforts — and judge them, of course. It’s not that we think she was in dire need of a style refresh, but her body-based baddie style tends to have diminishing returns over time, especially for a working actress. It’s one thing for a pop star to dress in those kinds of styles, but a lady thespian has to make herself appear ready to take on all kinds of roles, not just the badasses with abs. To that end – possibly – she came to the American Music Awards in one of the most demure gowns we think she’s ever worn.

Although it looks like she had to briefly make sure she didn’t execute a wardrobe malfunction right there on the red carpet. We’re tossing this out to a vote just for the hell of it. Personally, we really like it, although the stiffness of that bust and the way it sits away from the body looks like a bit of an issue. We’re not in love with the color but it’s extremely trendy at the moment and we can’t say it looks bad on her. The shoes are gorgeous, but we don’t think they go with the dress. It just feels like the look is missing something and the only thing we can think is that she needs a real statement piece of jewelry somewhere. Anyway, that’s our take. What’s yours?
