Tyla brought a vibrant burst of color to the 2024 MTV VMAs red carpet in New York City on Wednesday.
The Grammy Award-winning singer turned heads in a stunning yellow corset top paired with a matching miniskirt, perfectly suited for the high-energy music awards show.
For this glamorous occasion, Tyla chose a look from Area’s Fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection, which had just been showcased during New York Fashion Week. The outfit featured a spaghetti fringe corset top that hugged her figure beautifully, complemented by a miniskirt that boasted a striking high-low design. The skirt’s unique fringe detail trailed behind the South African star, adding a dramatic flair to her ensemble.
Continuing her colorful theme, Tyla accessorized with a dazzling turquoise necklace and coral strappy sandals that elevated her look even further. Her hair was styled in voluminous curls, while her makeup featured a bold lip and a sultry smoky eye, making her stand out on the red carpet.
Tyla’s appearance at the VMAs is particularly special as she is nominated for three awards: Best R&B for her hit single “Water,” Best Afrobeats (also for “Water”), and Best New Artist. Her rising star is undeniable, especially after her memorable appearance at the 2024 Met Gala, where she wore a breathtaking dress designed by Balmain’s creative director, Olivier Rousteing. That stunning piece, made entirely of sand and molded to her body, was so delicate that she had to be carried up the iconic Met Gala stairs.
Tyla’s influence in the fashion world has been on the rise. Earlier this year, she collaborated with Alo Yoga for their Beats by Dr. Dre campaign and appeared in Gap’s Spring 2024 campaign, showcasing her versatility and style.
The MTV VMAs celebrate the best in music videos, artists, and songs from the past year. This year, Megan Thee Stallion will make her hosting debut at the ceremony, held at UBS Stadium in Elmont, New York, on September 11. Katy Perry is set to receive the honorary Video Vanguard Award, and the lineup of performers includes Sabrina Carpenter, Lenny Kravitz, Eminem, and Karol G.
