As Tyla ascended the Met Gala carpet steps, she exuded elegance and grace, clutching a sand-filled hourglass in one hand like the Goddess of Time herself. With the help of several men, she floated up the steps without touching the ground, creating a mesmerizing and ethereal effect. Her Balmain gown, in a textured beige-gold hue, hugged her curves in all the right places and exuded a regal aura that captivated onlookers.

In her Women in Music interview with ELLE, she spoke about the strength and resilience of women in the music industry, highlighting the strides they have made and the space they have claimed for themselves. Her outfit was not just a fashion statement, but a representation of the power and influence that women wield in the entertainment world.
“It’s a flex right now to be a woman in [the music industry] because we are killing it everywhere. We really are taking up space,” she said.
“My parents always told me that I hated losing. Whenever I wanted something, I found a way to get it. I feel like it’s in me, but also I’ve just always wanted to see an African pop star. What the heck? I want to see an African on the biggest stages. I want to see them winning awards next to the A-listers.”
As Tyla made her way into the Met Gala, she radiated confidence and excitement, eager to immerse herself in the world of art, fashion, and celebrity that the event promised. Her debut at the Met Gala was a testament to her talent, style, and presence, solidifying her status as a rising star in the music industry.
