It’s not every day that the words \u201cmullet\u201d and \u201cblack tie\u201d end up in the same sentence\u2014or the same room, for that matter, unless the black tie you’re talking about is the kind that’s printed on a trompe l’oeil tuxedo tee. But it’s also not every day that someone like Teyana Taylor<\/strong> walks the red carpet, and the triple threat just proved that the \u201cparty in the back\u201d part of a mullet can refer to an elegant gala if you do it right. (And she did.)<\/p>\n

Taylor attended the 2026 American Music Awards as both a nominee and a performer. But before she hit the stage, she hit the red carpet in a jaw-dropping Balenciaga gown. As she posed in the flowy, purple, strapless dress, onlookers couldn’t help but notice how perfectly her dramatic, matte-meets-shimmer eye makeup complemented her frock.<\/p>\n

But while Taylor opted to wear her signature short hair over one of the long, curly wigs she’s been seen in over the last month, ever the innovator, she put a new spin on her go-to pixie for the AMAs. Up top, her hair was given pompadour-esque oomph with a hint of waviness and swoopy, soft baby hairs. The swooping continued in back, where the longest, lowest layer of her hair was straightened into a mullet and fancily flipped up.<\/p>\n
