This video follows South African singer Tyla as she gets ready for her third Met Gala (0:12). The theme this year is centered around costume art and the body, which inspired her custom Valentino look (3:41).
Key highlights of her preparation include:
- The Concept: Working with Alessandro Michele, Tyla chose a look inspired by a peacock to reflect her love for nature and animalistic themes, which also align with her upcoming sophomore album, A-pop (1:45-1:55, 4:41).
- The Look: Her stylist, Ronnie Hart, describes the outfit as a daring, high-fashion piece where her body essentially acts as the garment itself (3:05-3:43). The design features a satin bleu paon (peacock blue) skirt, intricate beading that wraps around her arms, and a silhouette designed to accentuate her waist (2:20-2:30, 3:47-3:57).
- The Details:
- Makeup: Esther created a look using colors plucked directly from the dress to complement the feather/peacock theme (4:10-4:17).
- Nails: Manicurist Coca Michelle spent 10 hours creating a unique, elaborate silhouette to match the theme (4:26-5:18).
- Hair: Stylist Chris opted for an updo to keep the look structured yet soft, marking a departure from her signature curly styles (5:24-5:46).
Tyla expresses how much she has grown to appreciate the artistry of the Met Gala, transitioning from a spectator who didn't fully understand the event to a participant who sees fashion as a profound form of art (1:12-1:33).
