Tomorrow, the 2025 Met Gala in New York City will see a variety of A-listers hit the red carpet with their most extravagant and head-turning fashions. But even in the weekend ahead of the grand event, celebrities are already running around town in their best statement fashions. Post yourself up at hotels like The Carlyle or The Mark, and you’re bound to catch a glimpse of one of your favorite singers or actors. Tyla is one such star who was sighted at the latter hotel. In fact, all weekend long, the South African star has been delivering one knockout outfit after another. Manhattan is her runway!

Styled by Law Roach, Tyla emerged this weekend wearing a vintage Roberto Cavalli dress that made the paparazzi flashbulbs go wild. The brocade and lace mini dress, with a ruffled bubble hem, is from the label’s fall 2004 collection—and even more than two decades later, it still feels totally fresh and relevant. It’s not the first time Tyla has embraced vintage fashion, of course. Fans will remember that the star wore Y2K-era Dolce Gabbana for her Coachella set just last month.

Later in the evening, Tyla also emerged in yet another Cavalli outfit—this time, a plunging satiny-silver suit with a croc-print effect. Her V-cut trousers brought the low-rise trend to the extreme, and were finished with that signature Cavalli lacing. (Her bejeweled heels? Also on point). As for what Tyla will wear tomorrow on the iconic Met steps? The jury is out on if she will even show up just yet, and what she will don. But one thing is clear: If her saucy pre-Met wardrobe is any indication, she will be there, and show up in even more epic style.
