‘That is so stupid’: Tyla gets lifted at Met Gala steps as her Balmain dress made it impossible to walk
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Tyla surely made heads turn at the 2024 Met Gala on May 6 as she appeared in a Balmain dress that was so tight she could not even walk properly.
PEOPLE reported that her look was inspired by "the sands of time” and she “wanted something out of the box this year.”
“So when Balmain showed me the idea and sketch, I just knew it was perfect. The idea was crazy, and I loved it,” the South African singer reportedly stated.
Creative Director of Balmain describes idea behind dress
Olivier Rousteing, creative director of Balmain, told Vogue, “The inspiration behind this creation stemmed from a desire to redefine boundaries and transform a transient material into an everlasting masterpiece.”
He further explained, “The idea of sculpting a garment from something as ephemeral as sand ignited my imagination, and I could not be happier with the end result.”
Tyla’s dress draws ridicule
But it seems people on the Internet weren't as impressed by the creativity as an X user tweeted, “A long time ago women couldn’t wear trousers and therefore couldn’t ride bikes or horses. 2024 and women cannot walk, tell me about regression.”
