Teyana Taylor brought some very special guests to the 2026 American Music Awards.
On Monday, May 25, the 35-year-old singer and actress stepped out to the 52nd annual AMAs alongside her two daughters, Iman "Junie" Tayla Shumpert Jr. and Rue Rose Shumpert.
Taylor wowed in a purple strapless gown featuring a structured bodice with a daring silhouette that showed off some serious side boob. The flowy skirt boasted a high slit and matched the shawl the star had draped around her elbows.
Junie, 10, opted for an all-denim look with a black belt and red boots.
Rue Rose, 5, appeared in a pink floral dress with a white cardigan. She also wore pink boots and a pair of white-rimmed sunglasses.

Taylor shares her daughters with ex-husband Iman Shumpert.
After a decade together, the "Bare Wit Me" singer filed for divorce in January 2023 but waited roughly nine months to announce the couple's separation. On Instagram, Taylor assured her followers that she and Shumpert remain "best friends" and are successfully co-parenting their children.

Rue Rose recently joined her mom on the red carpet at the 2026 Actor Awards on March 1, stealing the show as she fixed Taylor's dress.
The One Battle After Another star wore a gray and white form-fitting Thom Browne gown with a small train. The anatomical torso on the dress included over 160 pattern pieces, and the skirt featured 400,000 sequins and 175,000 beads.
In an adorable moment in front of the photographers, Rue even helped Taylor with her dress, laying out the train for her.
