For her third #MetGala appearance, Tyla (@tyla) wore custom Valentino by Alessandro Michele, pairing a satin bleu paon skirt with a deep slit, silver-rhinestone waistline and a tulle top traced with fringe and silver sequins. After moulded sand in 2024 and pinstripes in 2025, her 2026 “Costume Art” look keeps her Met streak very much alive.
No, the "naked dress" is not for me in any way, shape or form, but I adore that fresh, vibrant blue. It is exotic, electric, modern, chic, royal and rich in all the best ways. I dare you to turn away. This blue is a jolt of beauty in a weary world. Breathtaking.
In "The Devil Wears Prada 2," the bedside lampshade in Andy's hotel room in Milan was that same hue and I couldn't take my eyes off it. Love, love, and the striking, satiny clutch Simone Ashley (as Miranda's assistant, Amari Mari) holds near the end of the movie took a dip in that same gorgeous color.
I will be hunting down this blue, most likely for an accessory but yes, even for a lampshade. Will keep you posted!
P.S. Last night, I drove to the 92nd Street Y in NYC to see Stanley Tucci in a Q & A session. When the tickets went on sale a while back, I had to pounce.
