From the sand gown to her on-stage style, we can’t stop thinking about Tyla’s fashion lore

We can't stop thinking about Tyla's sand gown... and other moments of her fashion lore

It feels like only yesterday that we were replaying the video of Tyla and Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing, who personally shaped that full-length gown from The Met Gala into an after-party mini, on an endless loop.

One pair of scissors, a mega-pop star sensation, and the head of an atelier can put any feat to the test. Yet let it be known. But even before Tyla had donned the couture sands of Balmain, we've been following her style like a hawk.

While the singer has just dropped the deluxe edition of her debut self-titled album over the weekend, it's given us time to reflect on the stylish South African star's sartorial choices. With a cogent eye for Y2K stylings and an abiding love for miniskirts, Tyla is an obvious ambassador for the Gen Z and the fond of midriff-baring two-pieces.

Talk may be cheap, but our approach to Tyla's fashion discipline is anything but. Below, we've compiled the best of what the star has presented to us on the streets and in front of the lens so far.

A two-piece set and a feathery blowout. It's so off-duty it's perfect.

 

Custom Versace in mint green. This Grammy's look was the one that totally set things off.

She's just like me - we don't play about a flowy top and an itty bitty bottom. And don't act like you didn't see those sneaky red bottom leopard print Louboutins in the background.

 

Coming out in tiger print and diamante crystals. The unfashionable will call it tacky. The rest will know its anything but.

The sands of time. This is how you do a Met Gala debut. A look we will never forget – or recover from.

In Mugler. It feels right.

Styled by Katie Qian in that iconic Blumarine butterfly top (IYKYK). A most fortuitous pairing.

A resort-wear confection. This is how I imagine I will look when I finally take that European summer holiday.
