Teyana Taylor showed off her chiseled abs in an army fatigue ensemble as she stood hand in hand with Westley Snipes. Both in real life and on screen, the singer, actress and mother of two shows us she’s not one to be messed with in her camouflage shorts, matching hoodie, and thigh-high boots.
Westley Snipes kept it simple in a khaki pants set with a hunter green waist belt, and colorful embellishments on the shoulders and cuffs of his shirt.
