For her third consecutive appearance at the Met Gala, South African singer Tyla proved she is a creature of habit — the habit of stealing the show.
Embracing the “Costume Art” theme, Tyla stepped onto the white carpet in a custom Valentino ensemble by Alessandro Michele that she described as a “shiny peacock.” The look featured a satin bleu paon (peacock blue) skirt with a dramatic deep slit and an embroidered silver‑rhinestone waistline.
Above, a long‑sleeved tulle top with a plunging deep‑V neckline was punctuated by silver sequins and delicate fringes, shimmering with every step.
“Peacocks show their feathers to display beauty — that’s what I wanted to do tonight,” Tyla told reporters.
She completed the ensemble with Valentino Garavani Open Toe Révélé Pumps in an aquamarine shade and silver crystal pendants dangling from her wrists.
Her beauty look leaned into “mermaid glam”: long, beachy curls with a high‑gloss wet finish, plus full‑body shimmer across her décolletage that caught every camera flash.
Tyla, who first attended the gala in 2024, has quickly become a red‑carpet favourite.
