Lady Breaks Down How Tyla’s 2025 Met Gala Look Should Pay Homage to S’khothane Culture

• Tyla has made history once again as the first South African artist to grace the cover of British Vogue 
• The “Uppity African” has relentlessly raised the Mzansi flag on a global scale and permitted ambitious African people to dream
• With the Met gala around the corner, a lady on TikTok suggested a look for the songstress to pay homage to a certain group of people 

One of fashion’s biggest nights is around the corner, and South Africa is excited to see how Tyla will impress Anna Wintour.

Last year’s look was one for the books as she walked the carpet draped in Balmain's Chief Creative Designer, Olivier Rousteing.

Lady breaks down Tyla’s 2025 Met Gala look

Tyla has successfully cemented herself as a global superstar. Her chart-topping song Water opened doors she never knew existed for her as an ambitious South African artist.

Her management proved how great they were at playing the game of chess, while others focused on checkers in the music industry. Each move is orchestrated to fit the next project, whether it’s to bag a magazine cover or launch a successful tour.

With the Met gala coming up, Mzansi cannot wait to see what Tyla will be wearing after her jaw-dropping look last year. A woman on TikTok shared an idea of how the songstress could pay homage to the S’khothane culture and still gag Anna Wintour:

“Tyla shows up at the Met Gala in a full S’Khothane outfit. A Versace silk shirt, Carvela down, a spoti and an Ultra Mel custard clutch bag. Do you see the vision?”

The lady’s vision was not far off, as the theme for this year’s event is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. The hun got excited and thought:

“It could be a little bit iconic.”

A S'khothane is a young, fashionable black Mzansi gent, often dressed in urban style and engages in destructive conspicuous consumption. The chap religiously attends weekend get-togethers where he; it and his mates compete in mock battles where luxury items are destroyed.
