Tyla, who made a striking appearance in a turquoise zebra-print Roberto Cavalli dress, complete with a matching fur trim, became the centre of attention. Her look was a nod to the late Aaliyah, who wore the same iconic dress in gold at the 2000 MTV VMAs when she won Best Female Music Video. Tyla’s stylists, Lee Trigg and Katie Qian, completed the ensemble with gladiator-style heels from Paris Texas and silver jewellery.
Tyla also performed her hit songs ‘Water’ and ‘Push 2 Start’ from her deluxe self-titled album. In a heartfelt moment during her acceptance of the Best Afrobeats award, she introduced her sister, Sydney Seethal, to the audience. ‘If you don’t know her, this is my sister,’ Tyla said, before continuing, ‘I can’t believe this. The nominees in this category are incredible, and Afrobeats has opened so many doors for African music.

Despite four nominations, Tyla did not win Best New Act, which went to Benson Boone.The night also celebrated other major global stars.
