Tyla Shows Us What Soft Power Looks Like In a Feathered DSquared2 Gown at The Grammys

At this year’s Grammys, Tyla didn’t just walk the red carpet; she embodied soft power in fashion.

Her choice was a DSquared2 sheer gown in a whisper-soft nude tone, a silhouette that skimmed the body and shimmered gently under the lights. In an arena where spectacle often leans toward the bold and maximal, Tyla’s look was quiet authority, equal parts elegant, understated, and confidently restrained.

What set the gown apart was the luminous, feathered train, which was poised in motion without ever feeling heavy. It added an element of fluidity and softness, aligning with the tonal calm of the overall design. The delicate neckline enhanced the gown’s ethereal quality, keeping the look light and effortlessly feminine.

Tyla’s styling amplified that sense of refined ease. Loose, side-swept waves framed her face organically, offering a timeless counterpoint to the modernity of the sheer fabric. Her makeup followed suit: clean, glowing skin, warm tones on the eyes, and a subtle lip that perfectly harmonised with the muted palette of the dress.

In keeping with the minimalist energy of the ensemble, her accessories were quiet but polished. She wore a simple choker-style necklace, and understated earrings provided the right amount of shine without pulling focus from the gown’s whispery poetry.

And while her fashion was a lesson in poise and subtlety, her night was also a moment of professional triumph: Tyla won her second Grammy, taking home the award for Best African Music Performance for “Push-to-Start”. 

In a career full of momentum, this red-carpet moment served as a reminder that power can be soft, luminous, and gracefully worn.
