To quote Tyla’s new pop song with Zara Larsson: She did it again! As in, Tyla shut down the red carpet at the 2026 Met Gala again. This year marked the South African singer’s third time attending the event, and her red carpet look was suitably bold: The star wore a custom Valentino outfit designed by Alessandro Michele.
Tyla’s long dress featured a satin bleu paon skirt, complete with a deep slit and embroidered silver-rhinestone waistline. The tulle top, meanwhile, featured long sleeves and a deep-V neckline, punctuated with fringes and silver sequins. (It was all very much giving body—a fitting choice, given that the Met’s new “Costume Art” exhibition is focused on how fashion interacts with the human form.)
Tyla’s vibrant look tonight continues her winning streak of memorable Met appearances. Last year, when she also served on the hosting committee, she donned a white pinstriped Jacquemus gown, paired with vintage-inspired glam. In 2024, meanwhile, she broke the internet when she emerged in a moulded-sand Balmain number. (Yes, it was made with three layers of actual sand, mixed in with micro crystal studs.)
Clearly, Tyla has more than earned her spot on the 2026 Met steps—here’s hoping for many more years to come.
