Tyla’s Sheer Jean Paul Gaultier Moment Steals the Show at Billboard Women in Music

Tyla made a showstopping entrance at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music ceremony, where she accepted the Impact Award in a daring black see-through knit dress by Jean Paul Gaultier. The gown—featuring a high neckline, long sleeves, and a dramatic train—showcased her bold style, with its intricate knit pattern revealing sleek black underwear beneath. The sleeves cascaded elegantly around her wrists, adding a touch of effortless sophistication.

The rising star kept her beauty look effortlessly chic, styling her braids in loose, face-framing tendrils and opting for natural makeup with just a few silver rings and a long yellow manicure as accents.

In a red carpet interview with Billboard, Tyla reflected on the honor:

"It feels amazing—not a lot of people get recognized, so I’m really lucky and grateful," she shared. "I’m grateful for the people who impacted me in my career and my life. And we also look sexy, we look hot!"

When asked about her own influence, she added:

"Any form of impact is a blessing. I just want to inspire as many people as I can, wherever they are. If someone sees something in me that reminds them of themselves—that’s everything." She also credited her mother as her biggest inspiration.

Later, Tyla switched into a black two-piece set with a yellow lace bra for a fiery performance of "Push to Start."

During her acceptance speech, she delivered a powerful message:

"You never know how something you say or do—a lyric, a performance—might ignite someone else. I’m so lucky for my fans, my Tygers, who’ve given me this exciting life and let me grow into all the versions of myself."
