Overview
- In People’s World’s Most Beautiful issue, Teyana Taylor channels a mid-1990s Janet World Tour moment with a cream, military-style outfit from the “If” performance.
- Taylor styled the shoot herself and teamed with designers Baba Jagne and Laurel DeWitt, matching details down to custom sculpted abs and quick-turn pieces sourced online.
- Janet Jackson applauded the homage in a video for the magazine, saying Taylor “captured the energy, the mood” and adding, “I love it, absolutely love it.”
- The feature follows a breakout awards run for Taylor, who won a Golden Globe for One Battle After Another and is leaning into creative control across music, film, and fashion.
- Their friendship traces back to a 2017 FaceTime after Taylor missed a concert, grew with Jackson attending her 2022 London show, and deepened as Jackson advised her return to music.
