2024 queen, was lifted up the steps of the Met like the fashion royalty she is.most people interpreted the dress code—"the Garden of Time"—florally. But Tyla, the 22-year-old South African singer whose debut album was released in March, took the suggestion in a more intellectual direction, embodying “the sands of time” in both her sculpted gown, sand on her body, and a handheld hourglass.But because the piece, created by Balmain, was so restrictive, Tyla wasn't quite sure she could make it up the museum's iconic steps without becoming, well, a beached sand sculpture.

hadn't attended the California music festival since 2016, the same year that marked her last appearance at the Met Gala.But the real question at hand is not whether Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have the time for fashion's biggest night, it's do they even want to go?This year's Gala takes place three days before Swift resumes the Eras Tour in Paris, and well before Kelce has to report to NFL training camp in July, so, technically speaking, it's doable.
