The SAG Actor Awards 2026 wasn’t merely a celebration of iconic Hollywood films but also of the best-dressed celebrities. The One Battle After Another star Teyana Taylor happens to be one of them, as she made a statement with her iconic gown. This time, however, her daughter, Rue Rose, stole the show, and here’s everything the star had to say about this spotlight moment, so let’s take a look.
Teyana Taylor on daughter Rue Rose’s ‘spotlight moments’ on the red carpet
Teyana Taylor is the biggest supporter of her kids, and it so happens to be the case with her daughter, Rue. When asked by E! Entertainment about her daughter, Rue stealing the spotlight, she said,
“Even on the red carpet, she—she stood on the dot by herself, and I see all the light. The flash is going even crazier. I’m thinking it’s me. I’m thinking I’m chewing it right. I look over to the side. It’s her. They weren’t even taking a picture of me. They were taking a picture of her. By the way, I said, ‘Okay, girl!'”
During the interview, Rue Rose was seen frolicking around the red carpet, but Taylor cheered on and encouraged her daughter. She even cited both her daughters as fashion consultants, and rightly so. Rue previously helped fix her mother’s dress on the red carpet, which turned out to be one of the sweetest moments on the internet.
At the 2026 Actor Awards, hosted by the SAG, Teyana Taylor donned a stunning silver Thom Browne body-hugging gown. She attended the event alongside Rue, where her film One Battle After Another bagged several nominations.
The actress was nominated under the categories of Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, as well as Female Actor in a Supporting Role. Her role as Perfidia Beverly Hills is commended by both fans and critics.
Taylor did justice to the role by bringing out the complexities of the character through her marvelous acting. This is after she accepted the role without reading the entire script after getting a call from the director himself.
While she didn’t win the nominations, Taylor stole netizens’ and fans’ hearts, as seen in her interactions with Rue.
