Teyana Taylor channels Janet Jackson for People’s World’s Most Beautiful issue

Singer, dancer, and actress Teyana Taylor was featured in People magazine’s 2026 World’s Most Beautiful issue, where she paid tribute to Janet Jackson’s legendary “If” era with a look she styled herself. Taylor described Jackson as her “homegirl” and longtime inspiration. The editorial spread showcases Taylor in outfits and poses that reference Jackson’s 1993 music video aesthetic, blending 90s nostalgia with Taylor’s own personal style. Taylor, who is known for her creative direction as much as her performing, has spoken publicly about the importance of Black women being celebrated for their artistry and beauty on their own terms. The People feature comes as Taylor continues to expand her work across music, film, and fashion design.
