Tyla was outfitted in a full Valentino Garavani at The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2026 Met Gala in New York City on Monday. The “Chanel” singer joined Sabrina Carpenter, Anne Hathaway, Katy Perry, Doja Cat, on the red carpet ahead of the museum’s spring exhibition.

The singer showed off one of Valentino Garavani’s latest shoe designs. She wore the Open Toe Révélé Pumps 105mm, opting for the aquamarine shade. The shoes retail for $1,100, they are also available in black and a rust orange.

The suede Valentino open-toe pumps and have a toe strap that goes across the vamp and is made from a see-through polymer material. The shoes feature a VLogo Signature accessory with antique-effect brass finish, and a stiletto heel measuring 4.1 inches.

Tyla wore a custom look featuring a sheer, silver-embellished top that led to a bright turquoise skirt with a high slit allowing the shoes to take center stage. The outfit included matching hanging crystal-embellished accessories from her wrists that matched with the rest of her look. The singer, who said she was a fan of animal-inspired fashion, gave some background on the inspiration behind the design.

“I was really inspired by a peacock. I’m basically a shiny peacock today,” she said, adding that the look was designed by Alessandro Michele, Valentino’s creative director. The “Water” singer styled her hair in a wet look, which red carpet host Ashley Graham complimented on the red carpet, to which Tyla responded, “It’s splashing on everyone, I’m sorry.”

In 2025, Tyla adhered to the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme by opting for a fitted, off-the-shoulder dress courtesy of Jacquemus. The singer’s floor-length gown also came with a dramatic coat with a long train featuring the same black and white striped effect. She was styled by Law Roach for the event.

For the 2024 Met Gala, the singer arrived in a form-hugging sand-like gown that took inspiration from the “Time” element of the evening’s theme. The singer wore a dress designed by Balmain, that was made from a fabric that had a sand-like look sculpted over her body. She paired the dress with matching platform sandals and an hour-glass shaped hand bag.

The 2026 Met Gala took place on Monday, May 4, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This year’s exhibition, “Costume Art,” celebrated fashion as an art form, with a dress code of “Fashion Is Art.” The event was co-chaired by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour, with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez-Bezos serving as honorary chairs. The annual benefit raises funds for the Met’s Costume Institute.
