Tyla’s appearance at the 2024 Met Gala caused quite a stir, with her unconventional choice of attire stealing the spotlight. Instead of adhering to the official dress-code of “The Garden of Time,” the singer opted for a sand-covered Balmain gown that redefined the hourglass silhouette. Accompanied by a matching purse shaped like a literal hourglass, Tyla truly embodied the theme of “the sands of time” with her distinctive ensemble.
Balmain’s creative director, Olive Rousteing, expressed his excitement for the unique creation, stating that the “idea of sculpting a garment from something as ephemeral as sand ignited my imagination.” The strapless design, based on a cast of the singer’s body, featured an organza train encased with three different colors of sand and micro-crystal studs for added sparkle. While the gown certainly made a statement on the red carpet, questions remain about its durability and practicality for the evening.
In addition to her sand-covered gown, Tyla also incorporated water-themed elements into her look. Her manicure featured clear drips at the tip, adding a watery touch to the overall ensemble. Despite concerns about sitting in the sculptural style of her gown, Tyla remained unfazed, confidently declaring, “Who cares, guys, I’m cute!”
As Tyla made her grand entrance at the Met Gala, she was accompanied by a team of helpers who assisted her in navigating the museum steps with her textured train. The singer completed her look with fresh-faced glam from Pat McGrath Labs, including Skin Fetish Foundation and Lust Lip Gloss in Faux Real. Although this marked Tyla’s Met Gala debut, her ability to turn heads on red carpets is nothing new.
As Tyla continues to make waves in the fashion world, one thing is certain – her unique sense of style and bold fashion choices will continue to captivate audiences and leave us eagerly anticipating her next show-stopping look. As the sands of time slip by, Tyla’s presence on the red carpet is sure to remain a highlight of any event she graces.
