Teyana Taylor gave sharp suiting a sparkly upgrade for the 2023 Met Gala in New York tonight. The multi-hyphenate superstar was among the many A-list stars to make an appearance at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Taylor paid tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld by wearing a silver sequin outfit by Thom Browne. The “A Thousand and One” actress put her own spin on sophisticated style by swapping trousers for a sleek low-rise skirt. She complemented the slit skirt with a form-fitting double-breasted blazer that gave the illusion of a bodysuit due to its V-line hem and long gloves.

Taylor layered her overcoat with a white button-down shirt and a black tie. Adding a dose of edge to the look, the “Bare Wit Me” singer covered her short dark pixie with a mesh veil and continued to accessorized with dark aviator shades and a black rose handbag.
Taylor’s footwear choice was not visible underneath her pants. However, it is likely that she tied her outfit together with a platform silhouette, strappy sandals or trendy sneakers. The entertainer tends to gravitate towards sky-high styles and statement-making heels for appearances and events.
