Tyla was carried like a doll up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art during the 2024 Met Gala in New York City on Monday night.
In viral images and photographs from fashion’s biggest night, the Water singer, 22, had to assemble a team of four to lift her up and help her up the stairs to the red carpet.
Wearing a sand-textured dress that appeared molded to her body, the Grammy winner required help not only with the long train but also with her mobility.
This comes after the Johannesburg-born musician previously canceled the North American leg of her Tyla Tour due to an undisclosed injury, which she explained had “tragically worsened” over time.
It also postponed its European dates, which were previously expected to begin in March, ahead of its North American leg.

However, in her first appearance since sharing the news of her injury, she made a public appearance at her inaugural Met Gala for this year’s Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion event.
For her debut on fashion’s biggest night, she collaborated with Balmain to design a dress inspired by the sands of time for the evening’s Garden of Time theme.
Without showing any obvious physical injuries, she wore a pair of high stilettos to match her figure-hugging dress.
And combined with her bold looks, she wore an hourglass and sported a short bob.
During her red carpet appearance, she seemed to be in great spirits even when she had to be helped up the stairs.

For that reason, he said he had to completely cancel his concerts in North America and was also unable to perform at this year’s Coachella.
He also shared his plans to reschedule his next nine tour dates in the UK and Europe, which were due to kick off on March 21 in Oslo, Norway.
“I am absolutely heartbroken to have to say this, but as of now I will not be able to continue the tour,” she shared in her statement.
“In consultation with medical professionals, it is becoming increasingly clear that continuing with any festival or tour would jeopardize my long-term health and safety.”
