On November 10, 2024, during the MTV Europe Music Awards, Tyla made a remarkable entrance in Manchester, wearing an archive dress by Roberto Cavalli. Inspired by the iconic model worn by Aaliyah to MTV Video Music Awards from 2000, this blue satin creation, decorated with fur fringes, is an obvious nod to the uninhibited aesthetic of the Y2K years. For Tyla, this outfit is more than just a fashion reference: “ Aaliyah is one of my idols “, she confided after winning three awards, including those for best R&B and best African artist. “ Winning these awards in this dress is incredible. »
The singer, styled by Ronnie Hart, this is not his first sartorial brilliance. Accustomed to vintage archives, she had already caused a sensation during the CFDA Awards with a dress Gucci from 1996, thus confirming his penchant for period pieces. This stylistic strategy is reminiscent of the influence of Fausto Puglisi, current artistic director of Cavalli, which recently incorporated the late designer's iconic designs into its Spring/Summer 2025 collection.
