Tyla took the ‘time’ theme mega seriously at the 2024 Met Gala

South African singer Tyla made her big debut at the 2024 Met Gala tonight, and in the process looked to Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing to kit her out for the occasion. 

Where many channelled the night’s Garden of Time theme through florals – truly, groundbreaking – the rising musician instead went for a look that evoked the terrifyingly fast passing of time. 

Featuring a sculpted bodice made from sand that pooled out into a sweeping fishtail, the look was finished with a unique accessory in the form of a large, blown-glass sand-timer.
