Briefly News interviewed renowned artistic and creative hairstylist Lazaros Sumbane about the beauty and styling trends that define high-profile events. He explained:

"The impact of Tyla's trend creates a lot of buzz, it influences what people want, and inspires new ideas in fashion and beauty.
Tyla is an excellent role model and motivates upcoming young stars in the Africa continent."

Speaking exclusively to Briefly News, celebrity stylist and designer Xolisa Tony Mahlakahlaka said Tyla's look was chic and on theme. He said:

"It was absolutely amazing to see Tyla return to The Met in such strong form. Her being styled by Law Roach speaks volumes about where both her style and her career are going. I thought the look was chic and simple, but still very in theme, and the lighter hair was beautiful on her as well. Jacquemus, Law and Tyla did beautifully."

What you should know about the 2025 Met Gala

The Met Gala is the biggest night in fashion, with celebrities partnering with designers to serve some unforgettable looks.

The 2025 edition of the Met Gala will be held on Monday, 5 May, under the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” The Met Gala is held annually at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and is attended by over 450 guests, but names are never confirmed.

Guests can secure a ticket to the Met Gala through an invitation from a fashion house or an organisation, in which case they will be dressed by the designer.

According to The Cut, tickets to the 2024 edition of the Met Gala cost $75,000 each, which was a significant hike from 2023’s $50,000. This year’s tickets are expected to cost much more than 2024. Tyla and Doja Cat are scheduled to co-host a star-studded 2025 Met Gala Afterparty in New York.

Tyla shows off her cooking skills

Briefly News previously reported that South Africa has given Tyla’s cooking skills the thumbs up after she made pap, chutney and boerewors for British Vogue.

The Water hitmaker, who recently signed an international brand, Nike endorsement deal, is Vogue’s March cover star. Tyla recently put her culinary skills to the test for the fashion magazine. The Push 2 Start Grammy Award singer left netizens in stitches after she pulled out maize meal from her handbag.
