Teyana Taylor brought her high-fashion sensibility to the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards red carpet on Sunday in London, sporting a custom, plum-colored Burberry gown by creative director Daniel Lee.
The floor-length, silk duchesse dress mimicked the silhouette and design of a classic trench coat, with tiny buckle detailing along the sleeve trims and a tie to secure the garment around her waist. To add a bit of theatrical flair, the gown featured a ruffled funnel neck that wrapped around Taylor from the shoulders up.
Nestled in Taylor’s right shoulder was a delicate Tiffany & Co. bird brooch, made from “18-karat yellow gold and platinum, with a citrine of over 50 carats, diamonds and a pink sapphire,” according to the jeweler’s official press release. She also decorated her monochromatic look with 14-karat diamond earrings, an archival bracelet in gold and platinum with citrines and diamonds, a spessartine ring and a 16-stone ring in yellow gold and platinum with rubies and diamonds, all by Tiffany & Co. The vintage bracelet was pulled from the brand’s mid-twentieth-century vault, specifically between 1940 and 1950.
