Teyana Taylor Brings Edgy Street Style to CBS Mornings in Leather Bermudas and Rick Owens Boots

Teyana Taylor brought her signature cool to CBS Mornings, stepping out in a street-style leather ensemble that looked effortlessly tough, paired with chunky Rick Owens boots that gave the outfit the unmistakable edge she does so well.

She looked confident in her ‘fit as she sat down to talk about everything that made 2025 such a defining year for her.

Taylor released her fourth studio album, Escape Room, which earned her a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album—her very first Grammy nod, by the way, with the ceremony set for February 6, 2026.

On the acting side, she also starred in the black comedy action thriller One Battle After Another, top-billed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn. This role earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the upcoming Golden Globes, scheduled for January 11, 2026.

Here’s a closer look at her latest outfit.

Street-Style Power: Teyana Taylor’s Leather Look Anchored by Rick Owens Boots

Teyana Taylor just demonstrated what effortless cool actually looks like outside the CBS Mornings studio. There’s nothing overly styled or theatrical about the outfit, but it still makes an impact because she wears it so effortlessly.

The look featured basic pieces like leather, a graphic tee, and boots, but on Teyana, it felt cool and entirely her own. She just proved that sometimes it’s not about the outfit itself, but the attitude you bring to it.

Her ensemble featured a long white graphic T-shirt, printed with a black-and-white image that added just the right amount of visual interest. I loved how relaxed it looked, especially with its elongated silhouette. She left the T-shirt untucked over her leather Bermuda shorts, which made the look feel comfy and natural. The shorts were a standout, too, crafted from black leather with visible seams and white waist ties that reminded me of Rick Owens.

They balanced structure with edge, which gave the outfit a clear streetwear vibe. A similar pair of Rick Owens long-line Bermuda shorts is available for $1,915 at Mytheresa.

Her black coat instantly elevated her outfit, in my opinion. Worn over her T-shirt and shorts, the soft black leather added polish and a touch of sophistication to her otherwise casual look.

It featured pointy, sculptural shoulders, classic lapels, and practical pockets, finished with a midi-length hem that enhanced her commanding presence.

Sculptural Schiaparelli Jewelry Adds Artful Contrast

Teyana’s accessories showed off her bold personality. She skipped delicate jewelry and went for oversized, sculptural pieces from Schiaparelli.

On her neck, she wore the $2,600 Schiaparelli “Surrealist Lips Chocker” choker, adding a playful, artistic touch to the ensemble. It wrapped around her neck with a sculpted, surreal mouth at the front, complete with a rhinestone piercing. She then added equally striking, whimsical rings, one shaped like an ear, another like an eye, turning her jewelry into conversation pieces. Even her nails were adorned with gemstones as she carried a Louis Vuitton shopping bag in one hand.

Teyana’s dark hair was styled straight and tucked under a black beanie, giving her a cozy, off-duty winter vibe. Her makeup was also bold, with smoky eyeshadow, fake lashes, and a two-toned glossy lip.

Rick Owens “Bogun” Boots Bring Industrial Attitude

Teyana finished the look with the Rick Owens “Bogun” boots that were hard to ignore. These boots, made of luxurious black leather, featured rounded toes, chunky platforms, and flared thigh-high shafts that screamed Rick Owens!

The platforms gave her extra height and presence, while the flared, slightly wrinkled shafts gave them their playful, rebellious design. I loved how the boots injected a raw, industrial energy into the outfit, creating a cool contrast with the simple T-shirt-and-shorts combo. These boots are now on sale for $3,289 (from $4,092) at Farfetch.

Festive Drama at the Gotham Awards in Chanel Spring 2026

In case you missed it, earlier this month, Teyana Taylor kicked off the holiday season in a red and cream look from Chanel’s Spring 2026 collection at the 35th Annual Gotham Film Awards, where she was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Performance for One Battle After Another. I loved how this looked festive without tipping into anything too literal or costumey.

Standing against a deep green backdrop, Teyana wore a short-sleeved, boxy blouse in shiny cream satin. I adored how relaxed the cut looked, keeping the overall mood chic and modern. Though the design was simple, the soft sheen gave it enough presence for the red carpet.

Teyana tucked the blouse into a voluminous red skirt, which instantly defined the waist and gave the outfit a flattering shape. The clean line between the top and the bottom made the look polished, allowing the drama and texture of the skirt to take center stage.

The stunning red skirt sat high on the waist and was cinched with a striking crimson-and-black belt. From there, layers of bright red feathers flowed down—some short and crisp, others tipped in black, mixed with longer, wispy ones. I loved how the movement gave the design a fiery feel!

What made the look work for me was the contrast. The bold, textured skirt was balanced by the simple top, keeping the outfit from looking over-the-top.

Understated Jewelry Keeps the Focus on Texture and Glam

Surprisingly, Teyana kept her accessories minimal. She wore tiny Bernard James Custom Flora Sunflower earrings, along with a dainty bracelet and a few rings from the same collection, adding enough sparkle.

Her hair, styled in soft pixie curls, framed her face beautifully. Her makeup was also dramatic, featuring thick, strong brows, smoky red eyeshadow, and a glossy lip.

Chanel Pumps Add a Polished Finish

Teyana completed the look with a pair of white Chanel Spring 2026 pumps, adding a layer of classic sophistication to the otherwise dramatic ensemble.

Designed with crisp black cap toes and a high vamp, the shoes referenced Chanel’s timeless codes while maintaining a modern, architectural edge. They also featured an elasticated back and were set on cone-shaped heels. I loved how these shoes perfectly balanced the boldness of Taylor’s outfit!
