Teyana Taylor Sets the BAFTAs Ablaze With a Jaw-Dropping Red Carpet Moment
When the world’s most celebrated actors descend upon London’s Royal Festival Hall, the red carpet becomes a gallery of historic elegance. At the 79th Annual BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday, February 22, one star bridged the gap between Hollywood’s golden age and its bold future with a display of archival brilliance.
Teyana Taylor appeared in some spectacular pieces from Tiffany & Co., which included a rare Retro bracelet from the Tiffany & Co. Archives in gold and platinum set with citrines and diamond accents, circa 1940-1950. Citrines were a popular stone throughout this time period due to scarcity of precious gems during WWII.

The renowned houses began working with large and small semi-precious stones such as citrine, aquamarine and amethyst. Hollywood stars of that era appeared on and off-screen in variations of these types of pieces.
Taylor also wore an iconic Bird on a Rock brooch by Tiffany & Co. set in gold and platinum with diamonds, pink sapphire and citrine. The brooch was originally designed in 1965 by Jean Schlumberger and versions of it have become a red carpet favorite among both male and female celebrities over the past few years.
The other pieces from Tiffany that she wore included a ring in platinum with a spessartine garnet, and a Sixteen Stone ring set in yellow gold and platinum with rubies and diamonds. These historic gems perfectly complemented her dramatic Burberry corseted trench gown, a look that cemented her status as a high-fashion visionary.
The evening was a significant milestone for the multifaceted artist, who attended as a nominee for Best Supporting Actress. She earned the nod for her raw and powerful performance as Perfidia Beverly Hills in Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another.
In the film, which took home the top prize for Best Film, she stars alongside a heavyweight cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Regina Hall. Her role as a revolutionary mother caught in a web of government surveillance has been hailed as a career-defining turn.
This awards season recognition follows a massive year for Taylor, who has successfully transitioned from music and choreography to becoming one of the most sought-after dramatic leads. Fans have spent the last few months watching her dominate the charts and the box office simultaneously.
Looking ahead through the rest of 2026, she shows no signs of slowing down her creative momentum. She is set to star in the upcoming Netflix comedy 72 Hours, where she joins Kevin Hart and Marcello Hernández for a wild bachelor party adventure.
Her presence at the BAFTAs served as a reminder of her incredible versatility and her deep respect for the history of her craft. By wearing archival Tiffany & Co. pieces, she honored the stars of the past while firmly planting her flag as the future of the industry.
As the 2026 awards cycle continues to unfold, the world is eager to see which new heights this powerhouse will reach next. Whether she is in front of the lens or behind it, her influence on modern culture is undeniable.
