Teyana Taylor graces Time cover in Jean Paul Gaultier micro shorts and Ottolinger top worn backwards
Check out her look below:
The centerpiece of the look is a sculpted, high-neck Ottolinger top from their Resort 2026 collection. Featuring a glossy wet look and a vibrant print, Taylor wore the piece backwards like a true style icon to create a more dramatic, armored shoulder silhouette.
She paired the avant-garde top with mustard-colored Jean Paul Gaultier micro shorts. The earthy tone grounds the bright blues and greens of the top, perfectly highlighting her athletic frame. Bold, draped gold earrings and a matching cuff add a touch of regal elegance. With a sleek, flipped-out bob and sharp winged liner, Taylor proves she is the ultimate fashion visionary.
