Tyla brought a splash of color to the red carpet at the 2024 MTV VMAs in New York City on Wednesday. The Grammy winner opted for a yellow corset top and matching miniskirt for the music industry awards ceremony.
For the occasion, Tyla wore a look from Area’s fall 2024 collection, which debuted on Friday during New York Fashion Week. The look consisted of a spaghetti-fringe corset top and a matching mini skirt.

The skirt had a high-low effect, with spaghetti fringe forming a train behind the South African singer. Tyla continued the colorful outfit with a turquoise necklace and strappy coral heeled sandals.
The “Water” singer’s hair was voluminously curled. Her makeup consisted of bold lips and smoky eyes. Tyla is nominated for three MTV VMAs – Best R&B for her single “Water”, Best Afrobeats, also for “Water”, and Best New Artist.
Tyla made waves at the 2024 Met Gala back in May when she wore a look designed by Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing. The singer wore a dress made of sand that was completely fitted to her body and was so fragile that she had to be carried up the Met Gala’s iconic steps.
Tyla’s viral Met Gala appearance has boosted her profile in the fashion world. The singer previously collaborated with Alo Yoga on their Beats by Dr. Dre collaboration last April and appeared in Gap’s Spring 2024 campaign last February.
The MTV VMAs honor the best music videos, artists and songs of the year. Megan Thee Stallion will make her hosting debut during the 2024 ceremony, which will take place on September 11 at UBS Stadium in Elmont, New York. Katy Perry will receive the honorary Video Vanguard Award, while artists up for grabs include Sabrina Carpenter, Lenny Kravitz, Eminem and Karol G.
