Tyla didn’t walk the Met Gala 2025 carpet—she glided across it, sweeping up jaws along the way. Draped in a custom off-the-shoulder pinstripe Jacquemus gown and trailed by a majestic floor-length cape, the South African star served black-tie grace with a side of legacy. And yes, every inch of that cape whispered “André Leon Talley” with elegance and intention.
Let’s talk tailoring. The beaded pinstripe detailing on Tyla’s gown didn’t just fit the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme—it defined it. Sharp lines, flawless structure, and a silhouette that screamed sophistication. She wore menswear inspiration like a second skin and made it red carpet royalty. The cape? A full-on tribute to the late fashion icon André Leon Talley—so fitting it might’ve made him proud from above.
Vintage glamour? Check. Pat McGrath worked magic with smoky eyes in deep browns and warm nudes, giving Tyla a look that channeled legends like Josephine Baker and Dorothy Dandridge—with a little extra sparkle. Her red lips were tonal, modern, and perfectly imperfect, making us wonder: Is this what 2025 elegance is supposed to look like? Because we’re buying in.
Her brows? Arched with attitude and softened with care—basically, a love letter to every era of beauty rolled into one.
This year’s Met Gala theme wasn’t just about dressing up—it was about showing up. About Black elegance, history, and self-expression. Tyla didn’t just wear a gown—she embodied a message. The lines of the dress spoke to structure. The cape carried legacy. The styling nodded to generations of beauty before her.
From TikTok breakdowns of her beauty look to fashion Twitter calling her “the new face of modern grace,” Tyla’s look has gone viral. And honestly? Rightfully so. Critics are calling it one of the most “thoughtfully tailored” looks of the night, and fans can’t stop sharing her slo-mo carpet entrance.
Tyla proved that elegance doesn’t have to scream—it can speak with a whisper and still leave a lasting echo. With her Jacquemus pinstripes, Talley-inspired cape, and modern old-Hollywood glam, she delivered a Met Gala moment that was both timeless and timely.
