Teyana Taylor is known for her famous back-in-the-day appearance on MTV's My Super Sweet 16 series. Back then, Teyana was the prodigy of Pharrell Williams, and was signed to his label. The Harlem princess teamed up with photographer/actor Lance Gross, to recreate Janet Jackson's 1993 Rolling Stone magazine cover. Ms. Taylor dons nothing but denim cut-off shorts, lacy thigh high stockings, and a black garter. A mysterious man's hands covers her breasts. Teyana opts for soft natural looking curls draping over one eye. Many may argue that this photo, is a bit too racy.

In my opinion, fashion and art, go hand-and-hand. Both are meant to stir up controversy and the element of surprise. Art is considered art based on the artist's perception. This is considered art according to the people involved in this photo shoot. Teyana steps the bar up in mainstream music and fashion with this photo shoot. Teyana is not the first, nor will she be the last to do a photo shoot like this.  Although, this is a recreate of Janet Jackson's (Miss Jackson if ya nasty)'s 1993 Rolling Stone cover, this photo represents Teyana to the fullest.
