Teyana Taylor, 35, has spent the last decade transforming herself from one of entertainment’s most underrated talents into a global force across music, film, fashion, and culture. Now, she’s adding yet another milestone to an already remarkable career.
On June 28, the multi-hyphenate star was honored with the 2026 BET Awards Icon of the Year Award, recognizing her extraordinary impact across entertainment and beyond. The honor is reserved for “someone whose impact isn’t measured in years but in the undeniable weight they carry in every room, every conversation, and every corner of the culture they touch,” according to PEOPLE.
Taylor received the prestigious award for her influence in music, acting, directing, and fashion. The emotional moment became even more memorable when Janet Jackson presented her with the honor. As Taylor sat in the audience, visibly overwhelmed with emotion, she wiped away tears before making her way to the stage to accept the award.
The Grammy Award-winning icon praised Taylor’s trailblazing career, saying she loved watching her “defy expectations, rewrite the rules and lead with an unstoppable work ethic.” She added, “As long as you remain close to God your light will forever shine bright.”
The recognition capped off what has already been a career-defining year for Taylor. Along with being named BET’s Icon of the Year, she also took home Best Actress for her starring role in One Battle After Another, as well as Video Director of the Year and the Fashion Vanguard Award, celebrating both her creative vision and influence on style.
Earlier this year, Taylor also earned one of Hollywood’s highest honors with her first-ever Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the 98th Oscars for One Battle After Another, further cementing her place as one of the industry’s most dynamic performers.
Of course, fashion has always been one of Taylor’s greatest superpowers. Whether she’s commanding a red carpet in couture or redefining menswear-inspired tailoring, she consistently proves that personal style has no limits. She effortlessly blends masculine and feminine elements, making every appearance feel fearless, fresh, and unforgettable. Simply put, Teyana Taylor is one of the best-dressed stars of her generation.
