2. Tyla¡¯s Sand Gown And Her Air Lifting At Met Gala 2024

Tyla, a Grammy-winning vocalist, stood out at the Met Gala 2024 in a magnificent and one-of-a-kind sand gown designed by Balmain. The design statement not only wowed spectators, but it also presented a unique challenge: Tyla was carried up the famed Met steps by her four attendants to preserve the intricate elements of her gown.

A video shared by Variety Magazine on X, recorded the moment, showing Tyla being delicately carried by her crew. The singer had to forego her original adornment, an hourglass sand timer, most likely because it was unsuitable with her sand-made garment.

One of the X users commented: "I hesitate to think of what happens when she needs to use the ladies room."

Another wrote: "Does she travel with her own personal stair lifterupper?"
