Tyla’s Three Show-Stopping Met Gala Looks: Sand, Pinstripes & Peacock Feathers
South African singer Tyla has stunned at the Met Gala three years running with bold, theme-driven gowns. In 2024, she made her debut in a custom Balmain dress literally crafted from real sand grains and micro-crystals, complete with matching nail art and golden accessories. The gown was so body-moulded that she needed help to ascend the Met steps, only to have it cut away later that night. For the 2025 “Superfine” theme, Tyla paid homage to André Leon Talley in a navy pinstripe poplin Jacquemus corset dress layered under an oversized shirt cape. Diamonds from head to toe—including a working monocle—added a dandy touch. Her beauty look referenced Josephine Baker and old Hollywood glamour, styled by Pat McGrath and Yusef Williams. Most recently, under the “Costume Art” theme, she wore a peacock-inspired Valentino gown with a plunging diamond-chain bodice and turquoise skirt. Feathers adorned the sleeves and nail art echoed the motif. Wet-look waves and body shimmer completed the aquatic fantasy. Each ensemble has cemented Tyla as a Met Gala muse and fashion risk-taker.
