On the red carpet, Tyla channeled Aaliyah, who she has often said has been a large influence on her work. She wore a Roberto Cavalli fall 2000 striped gown. The dress was a blue version of a famous yellow Cavalli gown that Aaliyah wore to the MTV VMA awards in 2000. Eve wore the exact blue version that year.

Tyla was conferred with sophistication and glamour at birth and has, therefore, never sought out the British delicacy that is sausage, cheese, and bean melt. “There’s a lot of sausages here,” the pop star said at last night's 2024 MTV EMAs.

Tyla turned heads on the red carpet at the 2024 MTV EMAs as she recreated Aaliyah’s iconic animal print look from the 2000 MTV VMAs. The South African singer wore the blue version of the Roberto Cavalli dress that Aaliyah wore 24 years ago,

On Sunday evening, Tyla attended the MTV Europe Music Awards (the network’s European answer to the VMAs) in a Cavalli design that originated on the fall 2000 runway. That same year, Aaliyah turned up to the VMAs in a neon yellow iteration.

South African singer Tyla made waves at the 2024 MTV EMAs, winning Best R&B, Best Afrobeats, and Best African Artist.

Tyla took home quite a few accolades at the 2024 MTV European Music Awards on Sunday (Nov. 10), where she also paid homage to Aaliyah. The “Truth or Dare” artist attended the event in a teal blue iteration of the Roberto Cavalli gown that the late R&B singer wore to the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.

Tyla took some outfit inspiration from Aaliyah. For the MTV European Music Awards on Sunday, Nov. 10, the "Water" singer sported a blue version of the Roberto Cavalli dress that the "Back & Forth" songstress famously wore to the 2000 MTV VMAs.
