Tyla put a retro spin on a classic elegant dress at the Jean Paul Gaultier fall 2026 ready-to-wear show in Paris on Sunday.
The Grammy Award-winning singer styled a tea length charcoal gray frock with a flowing skirt and a fitted bodice. At the bust line, Tyla’s dress was designed with conical cups, a throwback to Gaultier’s design famously worn by Madonna during her 1990 “Blond Ambition” tour. Gaultier designed several of the costumes for Madonna’s aforementioned tour, which promoted her fourth album “Like a Prayer.”
Tyla’s dress was paired with a lacy white choker, and she capped off the look with Christian Louboutin’s black patent So Kate pumps. The singer added a pop of color with electric blue nails and her glam included windswept hair with soft curls and shadowy eyes.

Tyla joined stars like Naomi Watts, Macaulay Culkin and Barbie Ferreira in the front row for Jean Paul Gaultier’s fall 2026 ready-to-wear show. Curated by Dutch designer and Jean Paul Gaultier creative director Duran Lantink, the collection was defined by unique tailoring.
Following a “lukewarm” debut, Lantink “stuck it to the naysayers with his shapely tailored fall lineup,” per Lily Templeton’s WWD review of the collection.
“Opening the show was a suit and overcoat with shoulders and cinched waist curving downwards that exemplified Lantink’s idiosyncratic handwriting while also hitting the gender-ambiguous tailoring subtext of the fall,” Templeton wrote of the fall 2026 collection.
“Elsewhere, an infusion of winter sports yielded smart trousers with geometric colorblocking on the legs; form-fitting dresses and skirts with futuristic flair that was later echoed in dramatic sci-fi-worthy evening gowns; but also pretty cool knit bodysuits in Fair Isle-adjacent motifs. For pumps, he imagined an offkilter design based on a broken heel.”
