At the 2024 Met Gala, Grammy winner Tyla made a striking debut in her first Met Gala appearance, wearing a snug, custom Balmain gown inspired by the event's theme, 'The Garden of Time.' Her outfit, made of actual sand and designed by Olivier Rousteing, symbolized the 'Sands of Time,' fitting perfectly with the gala's celebration of the Costume Institute's new exhibition, 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.' Tyla, who also carried an hourglass, needed assistance walking due to the gown's constraining nature and was carried up the Met steps by attendants.
