Tyla has arrived, and the 2025 Met Gala just got its most effortless slay of the night. The South African superstar returns to the Met carpet for her second appearance—this time in a custom Jacquemus look that’s serving dandy realness with a global twist.
Wearing an off-the-shoulder pinstriped gown with a dramatic draped coat slung over the shoulder, Tyla leans fully into the Superfine: Tailoring Black Style theme. The pinstripes are crisp, the silhouette is sharp, and the energy? Timeless. Her curled pixie cut blonde ‘do adds a softness to the structure, making the look feel both rooted in history and undeniably now.
Styled by the legendary Law Roach, Tyla proves once again that she doesn’t just wear clothes—she moves in them. The look blends French tailoring with an unmistakably Black elegance, capturing everything this year’s Met theme aims to celebrate.
Tyla’s pre-Met fashion has been building toward this, with sharp tailored suits, oversized hats, and a series of fashion-forward choices that reflect her rising style star. One standout? Her pre-event looks, where she stuns in a structured dress and hat from Nigerian designer Tolu Coker’s AW25 collection—bringing the diaspora to the forefront in the most regal way. She’s also spotted serving metallic edge in a silver croc-patterned blazer with matching low-rise pants, and later, in a rare vintage moment wearing a dress from Roberto Cavalli’s 2004 collection. Every look has been intentional, building a style narrative that’s equal parts heritage, glamour, and risk-taking.
Her place on the revived Met Gala Host Committee this year only solidifies her rising influence. She’s not just showing up—she’s helping define what this night looks like. And while her second Met Gala might’ve come with more eyes and expectations, Tyla doesn’t flinch. She delivers.
Between the custom Jacquemus, Law Roach’s impeccable styling, and that subtle nod to classic dandyism, Tyla’s 2025 Met Gala moment is rich with intention. It’s more than just a serve—it’s a story about heritage, structure, and showing up fully in your own light.
