It’s official: Teyana Taylor is an Oscar nominee! The One Battle After Another actress has just received her first-ever Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, with the Academy Awards show being held at Los Angeles’ Dolby Theater on March 15. But her success is no surprise. The announcement comes just a week after the star delivered an emotional speech after accepting her very first Golden Globe award for the same role.
In just this year alone, she’s proven to be a multi hyphenate powerhouse grabbing the film industry by the horns. And, best of all, she looks pretty while doing it. Her character in the film, “Perfidia Beverly Hills”, is rugged and sexy, which is obviously borrowed from Taylor’s equally powerful beauty looks.
Earlier this month, she attended Variety’s Pre-Golden Globes Party in a part-pixie part-mullet with the back pulled into two fishtail braids. Even her sunglasses couldn’t hide her blush and cat-eye lashes, which made the look even more seductive. Then, at the BAFTA Tea Party, she wore a similar hairstyle but in a single braid paired with a flick of double-winged eye liner, championing this year’s no-shadow trend.
The intensity of her beauty only got more hypnotic at Netflix’s The Rip Premiere in New York. With her arms pinned behind her back and a veil cloaking half her face, all we saw was her dark, serious eyes layered in jet black liner. In her most recent look, however, Taylor turned to old Hollywood sophistication, ironing out her iconic pixie cut into something along the lines of a micro-bob at the opening of the Gymkhana restaurant in Las Vegas.
Now, with awards season in full swing, this Oscar nominee is the one to watch on every red carpet and in between. In the meantime, take a look at Teyana Taylor’s most iconic beauty moments this year (so far).
