Tyla’s Insane Balmain Met Gala Dress

Tyla is trading water for sand at the 2024 Met Gala.
For her inaugural Met, the singer turned to Balmain to help her bring her fantastical look to life. Latching onto “time” as the operative word from the night’s “Garden of Time” dress code, the Balmain team fashioned Tyla a dress made of sand-a nod to the sands of time.
Olivier Rousteing, creative director of Balmain, was particularly intrigued by the idea of ephemerality for Tyla’s dress. “The inspiration behind this creation stemmed from a desire to redefine boundaries and transform a transient material into an everlasting masterpiece,” he tells Vogue. “The idea of sculpting a garment from something as ephemeral as sand ignited my imagination and I could not be happier with the end result.”
“We were looking to do something creative, something completely different for my first Met Gala. So when Balmain showed me the idea and sketch I just knew it was perfect,” Tyla says. “The idea was crazy and I loved it. I’m excited and a little nervous but I’m looking forward to having a fun night at the Met!”

Great dress and time is running out for the environment due to global warming. Soon, all our gardens will become sandy deserts. Bang on theme and way more original and creative than all the flower dresses.

Garden of time, the emphasis is literally the TIME but everybody and their mama swear it's about flowers. Sleeping Beauty main plot is her sleeping for years(TIME). Tyla and the other celebs that made time their motifs cleared the met gala this year.
