Tyla Channels Britney Spears' Iconic VMAs Look for Coachella 2025
Get ready to be obsessed with Tyla's look from her Coachella weekend two performance!
The rising star, known for her hit "Truth or Dare," took a trip down memory lane on Friday by channeling Britney Spears' unforgettable "I'm a Slave 4 U" performance from the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards. Talk about a throwback!
Tyla nailed the homage by rocking a vintage floral print balconette bra straight from the S/S ‘01 runway collections, paired with some seriously eye-catching denim shorts. These weren’t just any shorts; they were adorned with crystals, silk fringes, glass beads, and safety pins, making her look both nostalgic and fresh.
To complete the ensemble, she opted for wavy hair extensions, a departure from her usual short hairstyle, and went all out with a colorful makeup look featuring heavy pink eyeshadow. It was a perfect nod to the pop icon!
This isn’t the first time Tyla has expressed her admiration for Spears. As a Billboard 2025 Women in Music Impact honoree, she named the "Womanizer" singer as one of her biggest musical inspirations back in March. It’s clear that Tyla has a deep respect for the pop legend.
But Tyla isn’t the only celebrity paying tribute to Britney. Other stars like Megan Thee Stallion and Tate McRae have also taken inspiration from the pop star's iconic looks. Megan, for instance, did her own version of Britney's "Slave 4 U" performance when she hosted the VMAs in 2024, proving that the influence of Spears is still very much alive.
Tate McRae also joined the tribute train, donning a racy black dress reminiscent of Britney's 2001 Dolce & Gabbana outfit at the VMAs. It’s like a pop culture revival, and we’re here for it!
For her Coachella debut, Tyla showcased yet another Y2K-inspired look during the festival's first weekend. She dazzled on stage in a silk jacquard belted skirt featuring glass fringes from the brand’s spring 2000 collection. Talk about a fashion moment!
On top, she wore a white crop-top tied in a knot at the front, layered over a gold-sequined bra, which added a touch of glam to her performance. The mesh tights with large cutouts gave her outfit an edgy vibe, making her stand out even more.
To accessorize, she chose some stunning gold and silver pieces from Pandora, which perfectly complemented her look. In fact, Tyla was announced as a Pandora ambassador just before her Coachella 2025 performance on April 8, according to Women’s Wear Daily. It seems like everything is falling into place for this talented artist!
With her bold fashion choices and undeniable talent, Tyla is definitely one to watch in the music scene. Her homage to Britney Spears not only showcases her style but also highlights the lasting impact of pop culture icons on the new generation of artists.
