Teyana Taylor graces the cover of Vanity Fair’s Winter 2026 issue as Lady Liberty, wearing a Ralph Lauren Collection gown and a custom Bode crown in a photoshoot by Ethan James Green. The issue celebrates America’s 250th anniversary, featuring Taylor in themes ranging from storm-damaged gala settings to vintage aviation looks inspired by Amelia Earhart.
In her interview, Taylor reveals the camaraderie among her female co-stars in Ryan Murphy’s Hulu drama All’s Fair, particularly praising Kim Kardashian’s quick support. When Taylor needed a bra urgently on set, Kardashian arranged a Skims delivery through their group chat, which Taylor describes as “so lit.” The chat also includes Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Glenn Close. Kardashian noted that Paulson proudly wears Skims’ faux-pubic-hair thongs, launched in 2026.
Fresh from winning a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in One Battle After Another, where she stunned in a bedazzled thong on the red carpet, Taylor reflects on her longstanding friendship with Kardashian and Kanye West. She collaborated with West on projects like his 2016 “Fade” music video and Yeezy fashion shows, maintaining loyalty despite his controversies. “I don’t have to agree with everything he does,” she states, “but I won’t abandon him.”
The Vanity Fair shoot blends historical motifs with modern flair, showcasing Taylor in Gucci gowns, Ferrari Style aviation wear, and New York Vintage accessories—a visual tribute to her Harlem roots and star power.
