South African pop sensation Tyla made her presence felt on the VMAs red carpet at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, 27 September 2026, and her outfit choice set the internet ablaze almost immediately.
A video reshared by PopBase on X captured the candid, upbeat moment as photographers eagerly directed Tyla, whose net worth made headlines, through her poses against a CBS and Paramount+ step-and-repeat backdrop. The clip drew massive attention, not just for Tyla's confident energy but for the outfit she chose to rock for the occasion.
Tyla's daring VMAs look
Tyla showed up to one of music's biggest nights in a bra and skirt combination, and the internet had a lot to say about it. The look was unapologetically bold, with the Grammy-winner carrying herself with the kind of ease that only someone completely comfortable in their skin can manage. Her face and poise drew near-universal admiration, even from those who weren't sold on the ensemble itself.
