South African Grammy Award winner Tyla made a bold fashion statement at the 2026 Billboard Women in Music. 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 gown 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. She completed the look with dewy makeup and “naked” PVC heels. This dress proves Tyla’s style, as she looks good in everything, including her Paris Fashion Week outfit.
TYLA EMBRACES FEATHER DRESSES ON GLOBAL STAGES
Tyla has made feather dresses a standout part of her fashion moments at major events. At the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards, she wore a vintage blue-and-black tiger print dress from Roberto Cavalli’s fall 2000 runway.
The bold, body-skimming design paid homage to Aaliyah, who wore a lemon-yellow version to the 2000 VMAs in Los Angeles. At the same event, Tyla also wore a fitted black and teal gown with a fluid, wave-like pattern. The dress featured a dramatic thigh-high slit lined with lush feather trim, flowing into a soft, trailing train.
On the red carpet at the 2026 Billboard Women in Music, Tyla also spoke 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.”
