Tyla, the South African pop sensation, has been announced as a member of the prestigious host committee for the 2025 Met Gala. This marks a significant milestone in her career, solidifying her influence across both music and fashion industries.
The 2025 Met Gala is themed “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” celebrating Black dandyism and its profound impact on fashion from the 18th century to date. The event will take place on May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The dress code for this year’s gala is “Tailored for You,” encouraging attendees to embrace bespoke elegance with menswear-inspired designs.
Tyla will be alongside such influential figures as André 3000, Simone Biles, Doechii, Usher, Janelle Monáe, Audra McDonald, Ayo Edebiri, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Her participation underscores her role in celebrating cultural heritage through fashion. Let’s not forget about her last year’s appearance at the Met Gala. She stunned audiences with a breathtaking Balmain gown made entirely out of sand.
Tyla’s inclusion on this star-studded committee reflects a deliberate effort to center global African voices at one of fashion’s biggest nights. It further emphasizes her influence beyond music into high-profile events that merge culture with style.
With Tyla joining this esteemed group at such an iconic event like the Met Gala—where she previously made headlines with innovative fashion choices—her position solidifies as a figure who embodies musical and cultural relevance.
