Tyla made her debut at the Met Gala last year, and now she’s back as part of the 2025 host committee for “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” And honestly, outdoing her outfit last year (a fitted Balmain dress quite literally made of sand) was a tough ask, but…she did that.
The singer stepped out wearing a beautiful pinstriped gown by Jacquemus, and the stripes appear to have been actually hand-stitched. A flawless interpretation of the dress code, “Tailored for You.”
Last year, Tyla told Fashionista that her personal style is inspired by pop stars of the Y2K era, saying, “I love how strong pop culture was back then and how everything just felt like, ‘Wow.’ I love how Britney would dress. She would do a lot of random stuff that felt like a completely different world from the one we’re in today. I really like Rihanna’s style too.”
“I’ve always liked what I’ve liked, but now that I have more access to things, I’m able to play more,” she added. “My vibe has always been to wear things that don’t look too perfect. I like a bit of messiness or something a bit shocking.”
Part of her strong personal POV comes from dressing herself early in her career: “When I was still coming up in South Africa, I didn’t have money to spend on custom looks,” she explained. “So me and my best friend used to grab a bunch of things and tie it everywhere and cut them up just to make a cute performance outfit. I loved it so much that I just wanted [that look] everywhere. I wanted to be ripped up or use a top as a skirt. I just find it exciting making clothing work in different ways.”
