The MET Gala is one of the most relevant events in the world of fashion. Every year, hundreds of celebrities come to the New York museum with one goal in mind: to pay tribute to fashion through impossible looks.
This year’s theme, titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, has focused on “The Garden of Time”, so celebs have paid tribute to those garments that have been dormant for decades, giving their special touch. This has been the case of Tyla, a singer who has captured everyone’s attention.
The South African rose to stardom with her song ‘Water’, which dominated the charts. After releasing her debut album, Tyla, she received her first invitation to the MET Gala, thanks to which she has been crowned an it-girl.
The young woman wore an incredible sand dress designed by Olivier Rousteing, creative director of Balmain. After suffering a domestic accident that left him unrecognizable, the French designer has decided to return to public life with one of the most critically acclaimed looks.
Leaving aside the spectacular dress, the truth is that Tyla could not walk on her own. In some viral images you can see the singer being placed on the steps of the metropolitan museum by her security team.
It is for this reason that Olivier Rousteing decided to do something unexpected: cut his own creation. The Frenchman turned the Balmain into a minidress for the after party, thus destroying the idea of keeping the dress as a museum piece.
