Pop star Tyla once again impressed fashion critics at the 2024 MTV EMAs, channeling the style of 90s and early 2000s music icons with her choice of outfit. The star opted for a vintage turquoise zebra print Robert Cavalli dress, featuring a daring side split trimmed with fur. The dress, reminiscent of Aaliyah’s iconic yellow ensemble from the 2000 MTV VMAs, is a powerful reminder of the influence and legacy of Black female music trailblazers.

The dress was previously worn by Eve at the 2000 Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards. Notably, Aaliyah, who passed away tragically in 2001 at the age of 22, also wore a version of the dress at the 2000 VMAs. Tyla, who is also 22, paid homage to the late singer’s style in a poignant moment of fashion history.

Stylists Lee Trigg and Katie Qian continue to help Tyla push the boundaries of red carpet fashion, with previous looks including a sculptural Balmain gown made to look like sand at the 2024 Met Gala and a neon yellow VMAs dress crafted from minuscule fabric strips. Tyla’s latest ensemble is a testament to her unique style and her respect for fashion history, making her a true style star of today.
