South African pop sensation Tyla once again proved she is as much a fashion force as she is a music star when she stepped out for the Paris Fashion Week this week.
The singer attended the show for Miu Miu, wearing a look that instantly turned heads, and tapped straight into one of fashion’s most enduring revivals.
For the show, Tyla leaned into early-2000s nostalgia with a head-to-toe Miu Miu outfit built around super low-rise baggy jeans worn deliberately below the hips, revealing the waistband of white boxer shorts underneath.
The relaxed styling echoed a signature Y2K silhouette that once dominated music videos and red carpets.
The look felt like a direct nod to the pop icons who defined the era.
Stars such as Aaliyah and Britney Spears helped popularise the low-slung denim, exposed underwear styling and casual streetwear attitude that shaped early-2000s fashion.
Over the past few years, the Y2K aesthetic has made a strong comeback on runways and social media alike.
Tyla has embraced the revival fully, regularly incorporating the trend into her personal style, whether she’s performing on stage or stepping out for public appearances.
Part of Tyla’s growing fashion appeal lies in her ability to move between completely different style moods with ease.
Just a day earlier, the singer attended the Fall 2026 show for Jean Paul Gaultier wearing a dramatic corseted dress featuring the designer’s famous cone-cup detailing.
With its structured bodice and sculptural shape, the look leaned into classic couture drama, a striking contrast to the laid-back Y2K street style she wore to Miu Miu.
It’s this range that has made Tyla increasingly interesting to fashion watchers.
One moment she embraces soft, feminine glamour, and the next she switches to edgy, casual streetwear.
While Tyla’s music career continues to surge globally, she has also quietly become a familiar face on the fashion week circuit.
During Paris Haute Couture Week in January, she attended the show for Valentino in a striking Valentino dress, adding another major fashion house to her growing list of front-row appearances.
Last year, she also drew attention at the Chanel show in Paris, where she was photographed seated beside legendary Vogue editor Anna Wintour while wearing a bubblegum-pink matching mini skirt suit.
Tyla’s rise in the fashion world feels like a natural extension of her growing global profile.
As one of South Africa’s most exciting pop exports, she has developed a visual identity that blends nostalgic influences with contemporary luxury.
From Y2K-inspired street style to structured couture looks, the singer continues to show that her fashion instincts are as confident as her stage presence.
And if her appearances across Paris Fashion Week are any indication, Tyla is no longer just a guest at fashion’s biggest shows; she’s becoming one of the style stars people are watching.
