Tyla Takes Paris: The “Water” Star’s Most Iconic Moments at Paris Fashion Week 2026

The South African “Popiano” princess, Tyla, has officially cemented her status as a global fashion heavyweight. Dominating the streets of France this March, the 24-year-old singer turned Paris Fashion Week into her personal runway, blending archival homages with her signature Y2K “It-Girl” aesthetic.

From front-row seats to viral street-style moments, here is a look at how Tyla conquered the fashion capital of the world.

1. The Gaultier “Cone Bra” Revival

Tyla sent the fashion world into a frenzy when she arrived at the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2026 show. Paying a clear tribute to Madonna’s iconic 1990 Blond Ambition tour, Tyla donned a sculptural black corset dress featuring the legendary cone bra silhouette.

• The Look: A corseted bodice with sharply pointed cups, flowing into a chic midi-length skirt.
• The Accessories: She paired the bold look with a delicate white lace choker, black Christian Louboutin “So Kate” pumps, and a striking ultramarine manicure.
• The Buzz: Sitting front row next to actor Macaulay Culkin and Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira, Tyla even made headlines for using a vintage BlackBerry to snap photos—proving that her commitment to “retro-cool” is unmatched.

2. Miu Miu Debut: The Peekaboo Trend

Closing out her Paris run, Tyla made a splash at the Miu Miu Fall 2026 show. She leaned heavily into the “under-out” trend, proving that her transition from “island girl” to “high-fashion muse” is complete.

• The Look: Head-to-toe Miu Miu featuring exposed boxers paired with extra-slouchy, low-rise parachute pants.
• The Vibe: Complete with a knit V-neck tank top and a printed hair scarf, the look was a nostalgic nod to early 2000s R&B icons like Aaliyah and TLC.
