Teyana Taylor sure looks good in a crown. The actress features on the latest cover of Vanity Fair – and fans are here for the Statue of Liberty cosplay. In an interview with the publication, she discusses her sudden rise to fame, her current studies, and her friendship with Kanye West.

She may reportedly be going through a breakup, but nothing can stop Teyana’s glow right now. She’s tipped for an Oscar nom for her role in One Battle After Another, in which she acted alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio Del Toro, and she’ll soon be back on our screens with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in The Rip.
Now she’s gracing the cover of Vanity Fair – and in serious style. For the latest edition of the magazine, the actress dons a spiked crown and flowing gown and carries a lit torch. The photographer behind the image is Ethan James, who has shot everyone from Rihanna to RuPaul.
In an interview with the mag, Teyana opens up about her rising star. She said: “Oh my God, it’s been like, busy, busy, busy. But in the best way, of course… To see people handling me with so much care and love, it’s been like I’ve been moving from master class to master class.”
She’s also asked about Kanye West, who she apparently considers family. She noted on their friendship: “I don’t have to agree with everything that he do or say, but I’m not going to, like, abandon him and be like, ‘Yeah, eff that motherfucker. My brothers do shit that I don’t agree with … I don’t get into none of that.”
Away from her acting career, Teyana has returned to school. Culinary school, to be specific. She told the publication: “I’m actually getting more and more comfortable with cooking with physical onions. And I know it may sound stupid and small, but that’s a big thing.”
