Teyana Taylor ‘Nearly in Tears’ During Oscar Dress Fittings

Does Teyana Taylor even know what day it’s proper now?

She arrived at Time journal’s Women of the Year gala on Tuesday night time in Hollywood in a little bit of fog. Just the day before she was posing and smizing for cameras from her entrance row seat at the Chanel style present in Paris. “I just landed a few hours ago,” Taylor told me. “The show was yesterday. Now, I got to make sure I look good because you know that jet lag can whoop your ass.”

The musician-turned-actress has nothing to fret about. She arrived at the Time event in a stunning body-hugging black and brown Schiaparelli gown. Her make-up and hair? Perfection.

While in Paris, Taylor had her second becoming for her Oscar robe. “I was nearly in tears,” she says. “It’s so good. My final fitting is on Thursday. It’s so major. I can’t wait for you to see it.”

I ask her how she’s feeling about Sunday’s Academy Awards. “I am so nervous,” Taylor says. “I’m realizing 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.”

Taylor recollects “retiring” from the music enterprise in 2020. “I was like, ‘I’m going to pivot,’” she says. “I said, ‘I want to do other things that I love,’ and that is what I did. And then I got ‘A Thousand and One.’ So if it wasn’t for that retirement I don’t know if I’d be here today.” (She returned to music last yr and earned her first Grammy nomination for her new album “Escape Room.”)

Our chat will get interrupted by Mel Robbins, who says all she needs to do is give Taylor a hug. “Congratulations,” the podcast host, self-help guru and fellow Time honoree says. “We’re all rooting for you.”

Before Taylor takes her seat inside the ballroom, I ask her what she’d say today to her youthful self. “I’d say, ‘Baby, I’m so proud of your patience. I’m proud that you never changed your heart,’” she says. “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.”
