South African singer Tyla turned heads at Paris Fashion Week with a daring, fashion-forward ensemble, dubbed a ‘naked’ dress, despite the city’s icy temperatures.
The Water hitmaker attended the Jacquemus Menswear Fall-Winter 2025/2026 show recently. She made a striking statement in a high-neck gown featuring side cutouts that bared her hips—a bold twist on the popular “naked dress” trend. Styled with chunky crystal-striped hoop earrings and Jacquemus’ Cubisto pointed-toe slingback heels, Tyla’s look earned applause from fashion insiders and fans alike.

Tyla’s Paris appearance continues her meteoric rise as a global style icon. Over the past year, she has consistently topped best-dressed lists, thanks to her collaboration with leading stylists like Lee Trigg, Katie Qian, and Ron Hartleben. Her wardrobe choices range from Balmain to Christian Cowan, cementing her status as a fashion force to be reckoned with.
This Paris Fashion Week appearance marks Tyla’s first international outing following her successful South African tour, which concluded with a high-energy show at Pretoria’s SunBet Arena on the 18th of January. The performance streamed across 44 African countries on Showmax and received rave reviews. Tyla called it her “favourite show yet” in a heartfelt X (formerly Twitter) post.
