Tyla is quickly becoming a celebrity to watch on fashion’s biggest night, as she demonstrated for the second year in a row when she hit the 2025 Met Gala red carpet on Monday, May 5, in New York.
Last year, the musician nailed the “Garden of Time” dress code in a custom Balmain sculpture (made of actual sand), accessorized with a glass hourglass (filled with more sand) as a purse.
For her second turn at the party of the year, Tyla hit another sartorial high note, demonstrating her continued commitment to the 2025 costume exhibition theme, “Superfine: Black Tailoring,” and the accompanying dress code “Tailored for You” in a custom Jacquemus look that celebrated her unique style.
She wore an elegant, white-and-navy pinstripe gown, which was accentuated by a matching blazer, a delicate diamond choker and gold stud earrings. Her blazer also cascaded into a lengthy train as she climbed the steps at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which instantly recalled how, in 2024, she took scissors to her look and turned her gown into a mini dress, as the walking piece of art was too restricting to wear, let alone dance in, inside the gala.
Her glam was just as showstopping on Monday, and consisted of a blonde pixie cut styled in loose waves. She also opted for neutral-colored makeup.

Monday was the second time that Tyla attended the Costume Institute’s annual fundraiser.
“When Balmain showed me the idea and sketch, I just knew it was perfect,” Tyla previously told Vogue on the red carpet last May. “The idea was crazy, and I loved it. I’m excited and a little nervous, but I’m looking forward to having a fun night at The Met!”
Ultimately, Tyla further cemented her name alongside Met Gala best-dressed list regulars, including Rihanna and Zendaya.
