Tyla is known not only for her catchy hooks and dance moves but also for her vibrant style, which often encompasses out-of-the-box shoes. After stepping out in ultra-strappy Alaïa gladiator heels in Berlin on Monday, she reached for a pair of Alexander Wang sandals embellished with large studs.

Tyla, who performed at Maaya Berlin last night, attended the after party in a black ensemble distinguished by edgy touches, including her footwear. She wore Alexander Wang’s Riot sandals featuring silver Rocco studs lining the black leather straps, which formed an X shape across the foot and encircled the ankle. The open toe set featured an almond toe and a 4.1-inch stiletto heel as well.

The studded footwear look, which is applied to myriad silhouettes across a range of brands, lives on in 2025. In addition to Tyla, Julianne Moore recently embraced the trend in London, wearing Khaite’s Boden sandal, which features flatter studs than the Alexander Wang Riot set.

Tyla’s sandals stood out in an outfit which otherwise consisted of high-waisted biker shorts and a bralette with gold and silver embellishments, aligning with the aesthetic of her studded footwear. An oversize black leather jacket was part of the look as well, and her accessories included Valentino Garavani’s Panthea Bag, featured in the brand’s collection called Le Méta Théâtre Des Intimités. The singer went big with her jewelry, modeling large gold hoop earrings from Jennifer Fisher and a chunky metallic gold necklace.

This outfit followed a more colorful look she wore earlier in the day, which was set off by another bold shoe look: heeled Alaïa gladiator sandals featuring plenty of slender straps between the toes and calf. The ancient Roman footwear aesthetic has been one she’s favored lately, whether it’s this style in Berlin or a knee-high, crisscrossing gold style at the Kids’ Choice Awards, which she hosted in June.
