On the evening of 10/1, at the BAFTA Tea Party 2026 in Los Angeles, Teyana Taylor appeared in a black and white strapless bell-shaped gown. The design, part of Do Long's Emerge collection, features hand-painted black sections arranged on the bodice, creating a trompe l'oeil effect of three-dimensional illusion.
The garment is crafted from double-faced satin and distressed silk, giving it a dynamic surface with every movement. The dress's form cinches at the waist over soft chiffon fabric, yet maintains a sharp, structured silhouette. This gown was created last autumn and showcased in a fashion show in early December.
Do Long expressed his delight at the Hollywood star's choice. By focusing on developing his brand across digital platforms, he has expanded his customer base and gained broader recognition.
