Teyana Taylor’s Chanel Moments at the Tribeca Film Festival

Teyana Taylor presented two Chanel looks at the 25th Tribeca Film Festival. On June 7 she joined Janicza Bravo on a “Through Her Lens” panel wearing pleated trousers, a graphic tee, a cropped tweed jacket and a custom Yankees cap. On June 8 she attended the Chanel Artists Dinner in a tweed suit, sheer blouse, pink fringe-trimmed jacket and square-toe burgundy-white slingback pumps by director Matthieu Blazy.

Both looks center on Chanel tweed. The dinner suit pairs eggshell-blue and pink tweed with a sheer floral blouse and a burgundy-white slingback pump featuring a cut-out strap. The earlier outfit combines pleated trousers, a slouchy graphic tee, a multi-striped cropped tweed jacket and a maroon Yankees cap.

Taylor’s styling merges New York borough identity with luxury fashion, showing how a female director can influence high-profile brand narratives. Chanel’s partnership signals a strategic focus on diverse creators and representation in cinema and couture.

Taylor said New York style is an “aura” that cannot be duplicated and framed her fashion as personal freedom, rejecting being “caged.” She added she is “happy to be here” and values working “directly with Chanel.” Chanel highlighted Blazy’s square-toe slingback pumps as a modern take on the classic cap-toe silhouette.

Attendees praised the “sleek, sultry energy” of Taylor’s double-tweed look and the bold burgundy pumps. Observers called the Yankees cap a “necessary accessory for any true New Yorker,” noting the seamless streetwear-couture blend.

CNN calls the blouse a “sheer, floral embroidered button-down,” while The Fashion Spot describes a “completely see-through, sleeveless shirt” left unbuttoned. Chanel has not clarified either description or the cap’s design rationale.
