Tyla Wins Best Afrobeats at VMAs in Reworked 1993 Chanel Microdress

Her archival Chanel look doubled as a showcase for her Pandora Talisman partnership.

Overview

  • Tyla won Best Afrobeats for Push 2 Start at the 2025 MTV VMAs held Sept. 7 at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
  • She transformed a Chanel spring 1993 ready-to-wear top into a micro-minidress, a piece originally shown under Karl Lagerfeld and modeled by Claudia Schiffer.
  • Layers of Pandora Talisman necklaces, bracelets and earrings completed the look, reflecting her ambassador role and August campaign.
  • She earned two nominations, including Best Choreography for Push 2 Start, and called the win “a blessing.”
  • She paired the ultra-short piece with black briefs and a gold waist chain to prevent wardrobe mishaps.
