Tyla got the ultimate “princess treatment” at the Met Gala this year.
The 22-year-old singer wore a custom Balmain gown inspired by “The Sands of Time” – hence why the Water singer carried an hourglass as a prop – with a fitting hourglass silhouette that revealed her nipples and a flowing bottom that dragged so long that she had to be lifted up by security intel to make it up the stairs.
Her stylist for the evening, Creative Director Olivier Rousteing, revealed that the dress was made out of sand and sculpted to her body. The singer also had sand painted on to her arms to complete the look for her first-ever Mat Gala.
This year’s affair is being co-chaired by Jennifer Lopez, who stunned in a Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown, Bad Bunny, who wore black Maison Margiela suit, and Chris Hemsworth, who glowed with his wife Elsa Pataky in golden Greek-god attire, with Vogue’s Anna Wintour at the helm.

Fans took to social media, joking that the singer was “getting the princess treatment” at the affair as well as praising the singer for her stunning gown.
“Tyla getting the princess treatment she deserves at the Met Gala 2024,” one fan joked on X.
“I am completely blown away by the molded sand look Olivier Rousteing put on Tyla for her Met Gala debut… it has everything a good Met look needs: it’s unexpected, visually stunning and fits both the celebrity and the theme perfectly!!” another fan wrote. “Tens across the board!!”
They added: “TYLA’S MET GALA DEBUT IS ONE FOR THE BOOKS!!!”
“Tyla in Balmain for the Met Gala. This is one of the unexpected depictions of the Garden of Time theme,” another said. “The sandy-textured sculptural dress is insane craftsmanship.”
They added: “The hourglass purse matching the hourglass silhouette is a 10/10 from me I’m gagged.”
