‘Growing up, I was captivated by the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show,’ says Tyla.
Mzansi’s Grammy Award-winning singer, Tyla, wowed audiences at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday during the brand’s grand return after a six-year hiatus.
The event, held at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York, featured Tyla as one of the headline performers, alongside music icons like Cher and Lisa from the K-pop group Blackpink.
The Water hitmaker dazzled on stage in a stunning ensemble of silver and gold lingerie, complemented by white feather wings.
In a statement released by Victoria’s Secret a few days before the show, Tyla expressed her excitement about being part of the event.
“Growing up, I was captivated by the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show — the stunning outfits, iconic wings, and charismatic models. Now, I’m thrilled to be performing on this nostalgic and legendary stage.
“What’s even more exciting is the celebration of diversity, showcasing a broader range of beauty, which makes this moment truly special.”
