Tyla dazzles in a sand dress at the 2024 Met Gala

Tyla’s ethereal dress gives new meaning to the hourglass figure.

The 22-year-old “Water” singer hit the 2024 Met Gala red carpet wearing a sand-covered Balmain gown paired with a matching real hourglass handbag.

Although the formal dress code for the evening was “Garden of Time,” she was instead inspired by “The Sands of Time” for its distinctive design, as she explained during Vogue’s live broadcast.

Balmain creative director Olive Rousteing reiterated to the fashion outlet that “the idea of ​​sculpting a garment from something as ephemeral as sand captured my imagination and I couldn’t be happier with the end result.”

The strapless design was created based on a cast of the singer’s body, and then the organza train was covered with sand in three different colors and micro-crystal studs that added sparkle.

Maybe Tyla, it’s better not to hope for anyone makes him sweat at the Met because it’s unclear how the dress will stand up to wear and tear.

However, she brought some water to the event in the form of a manicure that was attached to the tip with clear drops.

When asked by E! on the red carpet, will she be able to sit in a sculptural style, she he replied“Who cares guys, I’m cute!”

Tonight the South African singer made her Met Gala debut, although she’s no stranger to turning heads on red carpets.
