Pre-Met Gala Fashion Moments
Before even stepping onto the Met Gala red carpet, Tyla transformed the streets of New York into her own fashion showcase. Styled by the ever-visionary Law Roach, she appeared in a series of jaw-dropping looks, setting the tone for a glamorous week.
One standout was a vintage brocade and lace mini dress from Roberto Cavalli’s Fall 2004 collection. With its bubble hem and delicate lace detailing, the piece felt both nostalgic and strikingly modern.
In another bold moment, she stunned in a metallic silver Cavalli suit featuring crocodile-print texture and daring low-rise, V-cut pants. The plunging neckline and signature Cavalli lacing proved Tyla’s willingness to embrace edgy high fashion without hesitation.
She later appeared in a custom ensemble by British-Nigerian designer Tolu Coker an outfit that reflected a fusion of African heritage and contemporary elegance, further emphasizing her cultural pride and style evolution.
