Tyla's Dramatic Met Gala Arrival In A Stunning Sand-Textured Gown, Had To Be CARRIED up Met Gala Stairs

At the Met Gala, the ascent up the museum’s carpeted steps, where celebrities typically take their time to bask in the spotlight is the most interesting bit. And 2024 Met Gala was no different! Tyla, the South African singer and songwriter took a unique approach to her debut. The Water singer didn’t walk up the steps like most; instead, she was carried by a group of attendees, thanks to the designer creation she adorned.

Tyla’s debut outfit at the prestigious event was a custom Balmain piece inspired by the “sands of time.” Her strapless beige ensemble featured a circular train with a textured sand finish, meticulously crafted to perfectly fit her measurements. Balmain’s creative director, Olivier Rousteing, explained that they had molded the dress to her body months prior, intending for it to become a museum-worthy piece.

Adding to the theme was Tyla’s accessory—a purse shaped like an hourglass, symbolizing the passage of time. Despite its beauty, the ensemble was delicate and tailored precisely to her shape, necessitating her graceful ascent up the steps.

Tyla complemented the outfit with minimal gold jewelry and a bronze-toned makeup look, showcasing her short, wavy bob. This unforgettable appearance is sure to be etched in our memories for a long time to come.
