The Coolest Woman of 2016 Just Wore Zara on the Red Carpet
When Kanye West debuted the music video for his song "Fade" at the MTV Video Music Awards back in August, all anyone could talk about was the woman featured in the video, Teyana Taylor. The dancer, singer, and actress (correct, she's a triple threat) quickly became one of the most buzzed-about people in the world, thanks the to the Flashdance-inspired video and those abs (if you've seen the video, then we probably don't need to explain).
After appearing front row at shows like DKNY during New York Fashion Week, Taylor is now quickly becoming a fashion star. And for any lover of fashion, the allure of Zara is always there. Last night at the 6th Annual WEEN Awards in New York, she opted for a full velvet suit from the high-street store. The jacket and pants could technically be worn separately, but together they make the perfect look for the upcoming festive season.
