Teyana Taylor Goes Full Femme Fatale in Liquid Red Tamara Ralph Couture

By Alexus Mosley

Teyana Taylor understood the assignment and then rewrote it in liquid red. Stepping onto the red carpet at the 2026 Costume Designers Guild Awards, the multi-hyphenate star delivered one of the night’s most striking fashion moments in a custom Tamara Ralph couture gown that gave us that femme fatale flair we’d been longing for.

The sculpted, high-shine bodice gave us all the drama we needed, hugging the body like molten lacquer, while the draped satin skirt cascaded into a dramatic train, creating movement with every step. The rich red hue alone was enough to stop traffic, but paired with the sleek silhouette and confident styling, the look commanded the room. And of course, Taylor wore it like armor.
