Teyana Taylor turned heads and claimed the spotlight at Vogue World 2025 in Los Angeles on October 25th, stepping onto the Paramount Studios runway in a commanding Black Panther-inspired costume that paid tribute to Marvel’s Wakandan warriors.
The multihyphenate actress joined Danai Gurira during the show’s sixth act, which spotlighted Afrofuturism and honoured Carter’s award-winning work in cinema. The pair wore matching red Dora Milaje ensembles—originally crafted by Carter for 2018’s Black Panther—complete with silver detailing and structured armor elements that evoked strength and elegance.
The Dora Milaje, known as the elite royal guard in the Marvel universe, symbolized power and loyalty, making the wardrobe choice a meaningful one for both performers. Gurira portrayed Okoye in the original film, while Taylor embodied the spirit of the warriors through fashion. This was Taylor’s second time participating in Vogue World, following her standout moment in Paris last year, where she performed in a metallic chainmail look by Rabanne. Her latest appearance comes as she prepares to star in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming series “All’s Fair,” further expanding her already diverse entertainment résumé.
