Tyla Reimagines the Pinstripe Shirt as a Sultry Jacquemus Gown at the Met Gala 2025
Her look is "Tailored For You" to a T.


Tyla has arrived at the 2025 Met Gala, this time trading sand for pinstripes.
For her second appearance on the Met Gala red carpet, the "Water" singer may have one-upped her internet-breaking look in a custom off-the-shoulder pinstripe gown by Jacquemus complete with an oversized cape. Working with Law Roach, Tyla referenced the Met Gala's theme of "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" with a men's shirt-inspired cape and beaded pinstripe details. The star wore a glittering diamond choker and diamond stud earrings from Pandora to complete her look.
On the beauty front, Tyla worked with celebrity hairstylist Yusef to create short blonde finger curls a là Joyce Bryant. With the help of makeup artist Matthew Fishman, she went for a sultry, smoky eye, a go-to for the South African singer, to tie her "Tailored For You" style.

As a first-time Met Gala attendee in 2024, Tyla gave a masterclass in personal style with the help of Balmain. Inspired by the "Garden of Time" dress code, the singer wore a gown sculpted from sand and carried an hourglass clutch, nodding to the sands of time. The dress clung to every inch of Tyla's curves, so much so that a team of assistants had to carry the star up the Met stairs. After Tyla walked the red carpet, Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing shortened her dress to a mini length so she could maneuver more easily around the event.
For her first Met Gala in 2024, Tyla was inspired by the 'Garden of Time' theme and broke the internet in a Balmain dress made of sand.
It may only be her second Met Gala, but her latest outings prove she's got the chops to become a bona fide red carpet star. Back in March, she wore a Jean Paul Gaultier gown to the 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards, and the look was nothing short of sensual and cool—a signature for the star. Collaborating again with Hartleben for the event, Tyla was dressed in intricate black form-fitting strings complete with a long train and black briefs.
