Teyana Taylor was “nearly in tears” during her Oscars dress fitting.
The 35-year-old star is nominated for Best Supporting Actress at this year’s Academy Awards for her role in One Battle After Another, and she is excited for everyone to see what she’s wearing on the red carpet after having her second fitting in Paris at the beginning of the week before landing in Hollywood for Time magazine’s Women of the Year gala.
Speaking to Variety on Tuesday (10.03.26) in a newly released interview, she said: “I was nearly in tears.
“It’s so good. My final fitting is on Thursday. It’s so major. I can’t wait for you to see it.”
Teyana landed in Hollywood on Tuesday having been on the front row of Chanel’s show in Paris the day before.
She added: “I just landed a few hours ago. The show was yesterday. Now, I got to make sure I look good because you know that jet lag can whoop your a**.”
Teyana admitted she is “so nervous” about Sunday’s (15.03.26) ceremony, and she’s not ready for award season to “come to an end”.
She said: “I’m realising this is about to come to an end and I really had a blast.
“There are all the friendships I made and all the beautiful people that I’ve enjoyed running into all awards season.
“I’m going to miss everybody. This whole journey has been so beautiful. I don’t take any of his for granted.”
Heading into such a special weekend, Teyana had a powerful message for her younger self.
She pondered: “I’d say, ‘Baby, I’m so proud of your patience. I’m proud that you never changed your heart’.
“Through all the trials and tribulations, I’ve always walked in grace. Even when it hurt.
“I lean on my people and I say how I feel. When they’re able to talk me through it, I’m able to step outside like a champ.”
Teyana recently reflected on her first red carpet, and her passion for getting all dressed up.
he told WWD: “It might have been my emo era, looking like I was in Blink-182.
“But then you gotta remind yourself, back then that was where it was at.”
Nowadays, she has found herself “calling dibs” at fashion events, which she did at Chanel artistic director Matthieu Blazy’s show this week.
Teyana said: “I was like, I need this, I need that, I need that thigh boot. I just love fabric. I love getting dressed. I love it all.”
She added: “That’s the fun part.”
