Tyla Flashes Turquoise Bikini Bottoms Under Neon String Dress at 2024 MTV VMAs
Tyla, a first-time nominee, took home the award for best Afrobeats
Tyla is bringing the heat.
The "Water" singer brightened up the 2024 MTV VMAs red carpet with her bold look on Sept. 11.
The singer, 22, posed in a strapless neon yellow Area Couture fall 2024 dress made of peekaboo string. She also wore a pair of turquoise briefs that could be seen through the cutouts for an even sexier edge.
She accessorized the design, which also featured floor-sweeping fringe in the back, with pink sparkly Rene Caovilla heels, and equally vibrant jewels including an assortment of Fabergé rings.
For her glam, Tyla opted for shimmery lids, defined lips, lots of blush and her natural curls. She sparkled under the lights thanks to some body shimmer.

Tyla is among the artists nominated for a Moon Person for the first time and is competing for the prize in three categories, including best R&B and best new artist. She later took home the award for best Afrobeats.
Since topping the charts with her nominated radio hit, Tyla has been having a similar impact on the red carpet, trying one showstopping look after another.
At the 2024 Met Gala, she pulled off an innovative sculpted Balmain gown entirely made of crystals and sand to embody the event's "Garden of Time" dress code.

After walking the carpet (although technically she was carried up the steps because of how form-fitting her dress was!) Tyla and designer Olivier Rousteing made jaws drop for a second time by transforming the full-length number into a sexy minidress at the event.
Tyla also wore a diamond manicure that seemed as though it might make everyday tasks (like eating!) challenging, but to Tyla, they just perfect sense.
"It doesn’t matter. It just looks cute!” she told PEOPLE. A fashion philosophy to live by.
The 2024 MTV VMAs air on Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. ET/ PT live from the UBS Arena in New York.
