Nearly two decades into her career, Teyana Taylor<\/a> is finally getting her roses. Since stealing the show in the Best Picture-winning One Battle After Another<\/em>, the star has been taking full advantage of her leveled-up profile, and rightfully so: It seems as though every week she\u2019s charming a talk show host, breakdancing on SNL<\/em>, or, of course, winning a red carpet<\/a>. And this week it\u2019s the last of those activities \u2014 specifically, the navy<\/em> carpet of the 2026 American Music Awards (AKA AMAs), where the multi-hyphenate arrived in an off-the-face \u201cmermaid mullet\u201d that served as the ultimate edgy summer hair inspo.<\/p>\n

For the May 25 ceremony, the Golden Globe-winner swapped her trademark pixie<\/a> for a slightly longer look. The softly-molded \u2018do was swept back, but not slicked<\/em> back: While Taylor\u2019s swooping baby hairs were immaculately laid, the style featured plenty of loose, almost wet-looking pieces that created a beachy effect. The hair flicked up at the ends \u2014 around the nape of her neck \u2014 flippy bob-style.<\/p>\n

The romantic hairstyle was a perfect match for Taylor\u2019s gown, a purple crepe look from Balenciaga<\/a>\u2019s pre-fall 2026 collection featuring a high slit, sculptural bodice, and matching shawl. The actor-singer opted for trendy matchy-matchy makeup<\/a>, accenting her signature snatched cat-eye with sweeps of shimmery purple along both the upper and lower lash lines.<\/p>\n
