South African Grammy Award winner Tyla made a bold fashion statement at the 2026 Billboard Women in Music 2026. The event was held on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at the Hollywood Palladium.
The 24-year-old superstar showed up in a custom Javier Collazo dress that turned heads on the red carpet. Tyla wore a bold, feathered dress that mixed brown, cream, and black tones, with a high slit and a dramatic trailing detail. The textured, almost bird-like design made it stand out, while her full, voluminous curls framed her face beautifully and added a soft, glamorous touch to her overall look.
The singer later reacted on X after a fan admired her “beef with clothes.” The fan wrote, “There is a new beef going on and its so hot. This beef is between Tyla and clothes.”
Tyla responded back saying, “I feel this so baddd because I know I rock anything!!!!!!!! but sometimes the looks be like ‘Girl it’s my moment’. And I still love it”.

Aside from stealing attention with her daring fashion choice, Tyla also opened up on the red carpet about her friendship with Zara Larsson and their collaboration on the song “She Did It Again.”
Tyla said, “When we did it I first went to the studio with her and we were both listening to our music and we were vibing. Music video time, it was like I’m shooting my friend. It fell into place. She’s like me in a different font, we just go together.”
