Teyana Taylor Turns Heads in NYC Wearing Fendi Arco Eel-Inspired Leather Boots
When a look tells a story, we listen. On her latest press stop, style chameleon Teyana Taylor leaned into power, polish and a touch of rebellion—exactly the mood we’re loving this season at Malibu Elixir. The moment? A sculptural, army-tinged boot that felt both cinematic and street-wise. Consider it a masterclass in turning a character arc into a wardrobe signature.
Teyana’s NYC moment
Spotted outside Fox Studios in New York City, Taylor arrived to film an episode of “Sherri,” continuing the press tour for “One Battle After Another.” Channeling her on-screen revolutionary, Perfidia Beverly Hills, she threaded in military green with precision. The anchor piece: a pair of glossy, olive Fendi Arco boots that stole the frame.
The Fendi Arco, in saturated olive
Fendi’s Arco boot arrives here in a high-shine, olive hagfish leather that creates a paneled, striped effect—sleek, tactile, and a little dangerous in the best way. The color reads rich, not loud, adding depth to neutrals and drama to monochrome.
A sculptural silhouette that moves
The boot’s tubular shaft and tapered toe carve a sharp profile without sacrificing balance. True to the Arco line, the contoured heel carries an arched, angled motif that feels like wearable architecture. The covered heel measures 95mm—confidently high, yet thoughtfully engineered.
Luxe details and where to find them
A gold metal plate engraved with the Fendi logo accents the back of the heel—subtle flash, maximum finish. The style is available in black and beige-brown as well as green, retailing for $1,980 on Fendi’s site.
Styling notes: Sacai and sequins
Against the saturated boot, Taylor kept her palette refined. She wore a Sacai Fall 2025 ensemble: a wool gray maxiskirt with daring twin slits and a black button-down punctuated by oversized sequins. The balance of texture—matte wool, glinting paillettes, and glossy leather—made the look snap.
A boot-forward press tour
This isn’t Taylor’s only tall-boot triumph of the week. For “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” she joined Regina Hall and Chase Infiniti in a green Junya Watanabe Fall 2006 look. She finished it with matching Marc Jacobs Kiki boots for a tonal hit that read modern, not matchy.
About “One Battle After Another”
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the film also stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro. It arrives in theaters Friday—perfect timing to borrow a little of Taylor’s fearless energy for your weekend plans.
Quick hit: Why the Arco works
- Statement color: Olive green feels luxe and versatile, not seasonal.
- Architectural heel: A 95mm contour that elevates without overpowering.
- Textural play: Shiny leather pairs beautifully with wool, silk, or sequins.
- Quiet branding: Gold logo plate keeps the look polished and discreet.
