Teyana Taylor and Her Daughters Matched in Thom Browne at GQ Bowl

Teyana Taylor has had a big, busy 2026 so far. Last month, she accepted her first Golden Globe Award for her performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another. Shortly thereafter, she made her Saturday Night Live debut—paying tribute to her Harlem roots in a sequined I <3 NY shirt—alongside the young, beloved indie band Geese. Last weekend, she presented at the Grammys (where she was also nominated). And, just now, she made an appearance at the second annual GQ Bowl, our fashion-meets-football runway extravaganza.

This year’s GQ Bowl hosted the fall 2026 collection of American designer and CFDA chairman Thom Browne. The suiting savant styled many of the evening’s guests in the brand’s signatures, which include ultra-tailored suits, quadri-stripes, and the color gray. (So much is their commitment to the hue, even the step-and-repeat unfolded over a gray carpet.)

Taylor stepped onto the carpet in a gray tartan, double-layered skirt suit paired with vertiginous, striped platform heels by the designer, whom the actress also wore to the Met Gala in 2023. She was accompanied by her two daughters—Iman “Junie” Shumpert, 10, and Rue Rose Shumpert, 5—who also donned Thom Browne. Junie, whose hair was styled in whimsical Whoville-esque braids, wore a preppy blazer and pleated skirt with a matching striped tie, while Rue Rose wore billowing white base layers topped with a sweet red, white, and blue knit vest and one of the brand’s puppy-shaped bags.

During her Golden Globes acceptance speech, a tearful Taylor made a lighthearted joke directly towards her daughters: “Oh, my babies, my babies are upstairs watching,” she said onstage, before adding, “Y’all better be off them damn phones and watching me right now!”

On stage at Studio 8H for SNL, she made a similar quip during her monologue. “Man, I really, really love my kids so much, so I bring them everywhere with me. I ain’t even gonna front,” she said. “I’ve worked so hard throughout my career to get to this point, and I’m just so grateful to be here with my babies cheering me on.” Then, the camera comically panned to the two girls sitting in the front row, glued to their screens.
