The aesthetic was a stark contrast to her glamorous appearance just days prior, where she made history at the Golden Globes. The multihyphenate entertainer took home the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Perfidia Beverly Hills in Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another. Our softness is not a liability. Our depth is not too much, she said during her powerful acceptance speech. Our light does not need permission to shine.

Transitioning from her award-winning drama to an action-heavy thriller, Taylor appears in The Rip as Detective Numa Baptiste. The film, which is scheduled to be released by Netflix on January 16, centers on a group of Miami cops who discover a stash of millions in cash. This massive seizure leads to deep-seated distrust within the unit as outsiders learn about the money, forcing the officers to question who they can truly rely on.
Written and directed by Joe Carnahan, who developed the story with Michael McGrale, the film features a heavyweight cast of veteran stars and rising talents. Matt Damon stars as Lieutenant Dane Dumars, while Ben Affleck plays Detective Sergeant JD Byrne. Joining them are Steven Yeun as Detective Mike Ro, Sasha Calle as Desi, and Catalina Sandino Moreno as Detective Lolo Salazar. The ensemble is rounded out by Scott Adkins, Lina Esco, Néstor Carbonell, and Kyle Chandler as DEA Agent Mateo ‘Matty’ Nix.
Outside of the press circuit for The Rip, Taylor has been navigating a remarkably busy double life as she balances her thriving career with culinary school. She recently revealed that she even had to request a homework extension from the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts just to attend the Golden Globes. I’m a straight-A student and I want to keep it that way, she shared on the carpet, noting that her chefs have been incredibly supportive of her professional obligations.
Her 2026 schedule is packed with several other high-profile projects that continue to showcase her versatility. She is set to star in the upcoming Netflix comedy 72 Hours alongside Kevin Hart and will lead the highly anticipated Dionne Warwick biopic, a role she has been preparing for with Warwick herself.
Additionally, Taylor continues to make waves in the music and fashion industries, having recently dropped her Escape Room visual album and made her directorial debut with her own production company, The Aunties.
With her recent Golden Globe win and a starring role in one of the year’s biggest action films, she has officially cemented her status as one of Hollywood’s most formidable talents. Between her commitment to her education and her constant evolution on the screen, she is proving that there are truly no limits to her creativity. Whether she is in a chef’s hat or a masked avant-garde gown, the world is clearly watching every move she makes.
