Teyana Taylor kept her thigh-high boot streak going at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards, arriving at London’s Royal Festival Hall in cherry red Le Silla Eva boots under a custom Burberry gown.
The Italian brand’s Eva thigh-high style brought a sharp, over-the-knee line in stretch vegan leather, cut in a saturated cherry shade. The boots featured a pointed toe and slim covered stiletto on a 120 mm heel, with a close pull-on shaft that fit tightly through the ankle and thigh and showed light ruching, thanks to its second-skin, sock-like fit. Le Silla lists the cherry red silhouette at $1,133.

Taylor’s boots ran almost flush with the front slit of her Burberry trench dress, which pooled into a long train in a complementary deep plum tone. The actor attended as a best supporting actress nominee for Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another,” while Wunmi Mosaku ultimately took the category for “Sinners.”

The BAFTA appearance extended what has become a focused over-the-knee run for Taylor this awards season. At the 2026 Critics Choice Awards at the beginning of January, she wore black leather thigh-high boots from Saint Laurent’s fall 2025 menswear lineup, styled with trousers tucked into the shaft and an olive double-breasted blazer. That pair carried a rounded toe, structured piping and a high rise that covered most of the pant leg.
Days later at Variety’s Pre-Golden Globes Party in Beverly Hills, she shifted to violet python boots from Nina Ricci. Harris Reed’s spring 2026 look 10 put Taylor in over-the-knee purple snakeskin boots with a segmented wedge heel and side zipper, worn with the metallic jacquard jacket and dotted skirt from the runway.
Her latest Le Silla choice also tracks with a wider thigh-high conversation on recent carpets. Saint Laurent’s men’s wader-style leather boots from fall 2025 have turned up on Pedro Pascal at “The Last of Us” Season Two premiere and Alexander Skarsgård at the Cannes Film Festival. For Le Silla, whose over-the-knee boots sit in an icons range and come in vegan leather, vinyl and suede across multiple heel heights, Taylor’s BAFTA look adds a high-profile placement at the height of awards season. She also has a penchant for sneakers, which you can see more of below.
