Intro:
Tyla captivated audiences at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show held on
October 15 in New York City, delivering a stunning performance in feather wings
and blinged-out lingerie. The Grammy-winning artist, known for her am piano
hits, serenaded attendees with her viral tracks “Water” and “PUSH 2 START,”
marking a triumphant return for the iconic fashion event after a six-year
hiatus.
A
Show to Remember: Tyla's Striking Performance
The 22-year-old musician, full name Tyla Laura Seethal, not only showcased her
musical talent but also her fashion prowess. Dressed in an intricate, layered
lingerie set complete with a matching garter, she accessorized her look with
sparkling heels, chunky rings, and a shimmering makeup palette. Perhaps the
most eye-catching element of her ensemble was the giant fluffy white Angel
wings that added a heavenly touch to her performance.
Earlier
in the evening, Tyla made a memorable appearance on the pre-show carpet in a
striking bright pink gown adorned with beaded details, a torso-spanning cutout,
and a cascading frilly train. Her look was complemented by a messy updo and
glittering sandals.
Musical
Lineup with a Focus on Inclusion
The 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show featured an all-women musical lineup,
including performances from legends like Cher and Lisa. Tyla expressed her
admiration for the event in a pre-show interview with Rolling Stone,
stating she was "captivated" by the iconic fashion show growing up,
particularly by its “stunning outfits” and “iconic wings.”
This
year’s show aimed to set a new standard for inclusivity in response to past
criticisms. A representative for Victoria’s Secret stated, “The 2024 Victoria’s
Secret Fashion Show will deliver precisely what our customers have been asking
for — the glamour, runway, fashion, fun, wings, entertainment — all through a
powerful, modern lens reflecting who we are today.”
A
History of Iconic Fashion Moments
Tyla’s performance at the fashion show follows a series of memorable fashion
statements she has made throughout 2024. At the Met Gala, she stunned attendees
in a custom Balmain sand dress that became one of the night’s viral moments.
The inflexible dress required her to be lifted up the stairs, and in a bold
move, Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing cut off the bottom half of
her gown post-carpet.
At
the 2024 MTV VMAs, Tyla showcased a radiant neon yellow dress while winning the
award for Best Afrobeats, further establishing her status as a fashion icon.
Conclusion:
The 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show marked a significant return to form for
the brand, showcasing not only high fashion but also a commitment to
inclusivity. With artists like Tyla leading the way, the event is poised to
evolve and reflect the diverse tastes and styles of today’s audiences.
