Tyla’s Snakeskin Backless Top Isn’t Real, It’s a Temporary Tattoo
Tyla has always been fearless when it comes to fashion, but her latest Paris Fashion Week appearance showed a new level of creativity. The singer caught attention when she stepped out wearing what appeared to be a daring snakeskin backless top, only for fans to later discover that the piece was, in fact, a temporary tattoo applied to her skin. She debuted the look while attending the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris. Social media reacted as the unconventional outfit showed how body art can be used in fashion
It went viral on Instagram and was discussed across social media. At first glance, it appeared to be a fitted mock neck shirt with snakeskin pattern textures and zipper details. However, designer Simon Carle revealed that the piece was created using temporary tattoo sheets.

According to Carle, the tattoo was designed as a single-use fashion piece meant to peel away like a snake shedding its skin, fitting the reptile theme behind the look.
Tyla wore the outfit during Paris Fashion Week. The singer paired the tattoo top with ultra low-rise jeans, and a snakeskin patterned handbag.

Temporary tattoos have appeared in fashion before, but rarely as the main garment itself. By turning body art into clothing, Tyla and Carle created a wearable fashion piece. The concept shows a growing trend in celebrity fashion where artists explore unconventional materials to create memorable moments.

Thabee Happy Serves Minimalist Style in White and Black
South African influencer Thabee Happy Lethabo appears in a series of photos taken outside Kolonaki, wearing a minimalist outfit built around a black-and-white combination. The look centres on structured clothing and restrained accessories.
The outfit includes a white structured top with sculpted sleeves and a defined waistline. The design introduces volume at the shoulders while keeping a fitted shape through the upper body. The top contrasts with the relaxed cut of the black wide-leg trousers, creating balance between the upper and lower parts of the outfit. The trousers fall straight to the floor, giving the overall look a long and clean line.

Accessories remain minimal. She carries a small wicker handbag with black leather trim and a clasp, bringing texture into the outfit. The woven material stands out against the smooth fabric of the clothing. She also wears a slim gold wristwatch and small jewellery pieces that keep the styling restrained.
In another image, she adds oversized black sunglasses that continue the black-and-white look while introducing a slightly different appearance. The sunglasses sit neatly on the face and work well with the structured design of the outfit. The outfit is paired with white pointed heels that match the tone of the top, maintaining the black-and-white combination.

Tyla Steps Out in Black for the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2026 Show
Tyla attended the Fall 2026 show by Jean Paul Gaultier during Paris Fashion Week wearing a structured black dress from the French house. Her appearance placed the singer among invited guests at one of the schedule’s major runway presentations, where celebrities, editors and buyers gathered to view the latest couture designs.
For the event, Tyla wore a black dress built around a structured bodice with visible corset detailing, a design feature long associated with the house of Jean Paul Gaultier. The fitted upper section shaped the waist and torso, while the rest of the design followed a streamlined shape. The emphasis on structure reflects an approach frequently seen in the label’s collections, which often explore corset design and sharply tailored construction.

The all-black colour choice highlighted the construction of the piece. Instead of prints or ornate detailing, the design relied on tailoring and form. Structured elements at the upper section added volume, while the lower portion of the dress maintained a clean, elongated line.
Tyla paired the dress with high-heeled shoes from Christian Louboutin, maintaining the all-black styling of the outfit. Jewellery was minimal.

Her appearance at the show reflects the singer’s growing presence at international fashion events. Over the past year, Tyla has attended several fashion shows and award ceremonies, where stylists have dressed her in couture and archival pieces from established fashion houses. These appearances have drawn attention from fashion editors and stylists who follow celebrity fashion during major industry events.
Musicians have increasingly become regular guests at runway presentations, particularly during Paris Fashion Week. Fashion houses often invite performers whose public profiles align with their audience, while artists gain visibility within fashion media coverage. Tyla’s attendance at the Jean Paul Gaultier show places her among the performers who regularly appear at major European fashion events.

During the Fall 2026 presentation, guests arriving at the venue were widely photographed and shared across fashion media and social platforms alongside coverage of the runway collection.
