Why Teyana Taylor's Corset Hair Dress Has the Internet Divided

Taylor wore a hand-painted Ashi Studio gown built with 18th-century techniques and hair embroidery, part of the brand's Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2026 collection.

  • On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, Teyana Taylor received the Visionary Award at the Billboard Women in Music 2026 event in Los Angeles, wearing a tulle gown from Ashi Studio's Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2026 collection.
  • Designed with 18th-century techniques, the dress featured a sculptural corset embroidered with actual hair to reflect Victorian mourning traditions, paired with a hand-painted, unraveling tulle skirt.
  • Legendary singer Dionne Warwick introduced Taylor, but a teleprompter failure caused an awkward glitch when the screen displayed, "Teyana Taylor, we have no script for you. Everyone exit stage right."
  • After briefly stepping offstage, Taylor returned to the Hollywood Palladium stage where host Keke Palmer helped reset the moment, allowing the artist to properly accept her honor.
  • Ashi Studio has styled Taylor for multiple events throughout the year, including the New York City premiere of Netflix's The Rip in January and the NAACP Image Awards in March.
