Teyana Taylor on Her 2026 Golden Globes Butt Cleavage: "The Crack Is Covered in Diamonds"
Schiaparelli Haute Couture diamonds, specifically.
If you were under the impression that the exposed thong trend had been left in 2025, you, friend, would be dead wrong. At the 2026 Golden Globes, Teyana Taylor extended the lifespan of this daring trend in a crystal-encrusted style on the red carpet, courtesy of Schiaparelli.
On Jan. 11, the actor graced paparazzi with the shot of a century, stepping onto the Golden Globes red carpet in a custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture cut-out gown that matched famously fearless aesthetic. From the front, the Daniel Roseberry-designed look, styled by Wayman and Micah, was fairly classic-seeming: a little black dress, with an asymmetrical neckline and a trendy scarf detail at the neck, which trailed behind her like a train. Overall, it read polished and elegant.
Teyana Taylor amplified the evening's little black dress trend in an asymmetrical number from Schiaparelli.
The back, however, supplied that white-hot spice Taylor is known to bring on the carpet. It boasted one additional cut-out—a slash across the lower back, which made way for what the brand calls a "silver-rhinestone bijou thong."
Taylor turned around to reveal a surprise detail.
Taylor's bijou thong was embellished with a bedazzled bow, which acted as the focal point of her entire outfit. "The crack is covered in diamonds," she told E! News on the carpet, later dubbing the look "expensive"
Her own featured an embellished "bijou thong" detail at the lower back.
Though the Golden Globes red carpet is typically a parade of ultra-conservative ball gowns, attendees got wild with their award show wardrobes this year. In addition to Taylor, stars like Jennifer Lawrence have also eschewed the stuffy dress code. It's the Golden Globes like we've never seen it.
