The Oscar-nominated “One Battle After Another” star wore a gown from the designer’s Spring 2026 Haute Couture collection. The strapless Bordeaux dress has a fitted bodice and shimmering rectangular jewel-encrusted embellishments at the neckline.
Dresses transitioned from fitted bodices to full skirts in gathered fabric that created dramatic volume. There was plenty of bubble hemline throughout the gathered fabric that fell from the gown’s hips, and a subtle train tracked Taylor along the red carpet.

The dress and coordinating headpiece, which included jewel embellishments, added a new dimension of contemporary elegance to the overall look. Taylor completed her outfit with pointed-toe heels and kept her accessories minimalist.
Taylor’s dress made its runway debut during Paris Couture Week in January 2026. According to Jennifer Weil’s WWD review, Laurent looked to Pablo Picasso and the ballet “Parade” as themes behind the French couturier’s collection.

“There was theatrical drama and glitzy quotient in spring, as designers reimagined the clown theme with bulky garments such as balloon pants, jumpsuits, and coats that combined circular and square elements,” Weil writes.
“An asymmetrical long coat in white gazar was paired with a jumpsuit in the same fabric embroidered with jonquil diamonds. A long cape dress in black duchess satin, velvet, and georgette crepe was adorned with a plexiglass cube brooch set with diamonds,” Weil wrote of other notable highlights from the collection.
