We’ve seen her serve looks before, like when she rocked her first Chanel show in a classic suit, but this time she turned heads in Rome at the Mercedes-Benz CLA world premiere, proving she can own any colour.
And what better way to do that than in a hot red number?
The world premiere was all about luxury, and Tyla fit right in. She stepped onto the stage in a fiery red fringe dress, serving the main character’s energy.
The barely-there design featured a halterneck, a completely open back held together by a single strap, and fringes that flowed into a maxi skirt – perfect for movement, especially when she kicked off her performance with “Water”.
A Grammy-winning song needs a Grammy-worthy outfit, and this one delivered. With her kiss curls and vintage-inspired styling, she was giving Betty Boop but making it modern, fierce, and totally Tyla
Betty Boop’s signature hairstyle is iconic for its short, curly bob that frames her face, often styled with soft waves. It’s a timeless look that embodies the flapper era’s playful and bold style.
She also frequently wore a red dress, which became a signature part of her look. The bright red symbolises both passion and attention-grabbing boldness, matching her lively, mischievous personality.

A red dress was a genius choice. Red is bold, powerful, and unapologetically confident exactly the vibe Tyla brings.
It also happened to match one of the luxury cars on display, making it a full-circle fashion moment. Rome is the city of timeless glamour, so a statement dress like this just made sense.
Red has always been the colour of passion, power, and high-energy glamour. It’s the shade of icons; think Marilyn Monroe’s signature red lips, Rihanna’s show-stopping Met Gala looks, and now, Tyla’s red moment in Rome.
The colour speaks volumes before a single word is uttered, making it the perfect choice for a stage, where all eyes are on her.
As if one jaw-dropping look wasn’t enough, Tyla gave us another one on Instagram, this time in a body-hugging bedazzled black and silver gown with a sky-high thigh slit. It was pure after-party glam, proving she could switch from stage queen to party girl with zero effort.

And let’s not forget the details. Tyla’s kiss curls added the perfect touch of vintage-meets-racy, while her jewellery a mix of drop-down earrings, a bracelet, and enough rings to add some serious bling elevated the look even more.
Our good sis is owning the scene, and we’re just here, watching and taking notes.
