Picture this: the 2024 Met Gala, where the stars are strutting their stuff in the most outrageous outfits imaginable. And who stole the show? None other than Tyla, the Grammy-winning sensation, who decided to grace the red carpet in a dress made entirely out of sand. Yep, you read that right. Sand!
As she made her grand entrance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, all eyes were on Tyla and her daring fashion choice. The 22-year-old “Water” crooner was ready to make her Met Gala debut in style, and boy, did she deliver.
Her Balmain gown wasn’t your run-of-the-mill outfit. Oh no, it was a masterpiece of epic proportions. Picture a sculptural bodice molded to perfection, shaped by a plaster body mold. The pièce de résistance? An organza train encased with not one, not two, but three shades of sand, sprinkled with micro-crystal studs for that extra oomph. And let’s not forget the clutch – made of glass, brass metal, and, you guessed it, more sand. Because why not?
Now, walking in a dress made of sand is no easy feat. In fact, it’s downright impossible. So what’s a girl to do? Well, if you’re Tyla, you simply let your team carry you up the stairs. Easy peasy, right?
But our girl Tyla wasn’t about to let a little thing like mobility cramp her style. Oh no, she had a trick up her sleeve. Or rather, Olivier Rousteing, the mastermind behind Balmain, had a trick. With a flick of his scissors, he transformed Tyla’s sandy masterpiece into a mini-dress, freeing her to dance the night away without a care in the world.
Tyla, the sand queen of the Met Gala, proving once and for all that fashion knows no bounds.
