‘Y’all just don’t get it, and that’s okay’: Tyla claps back at critics over Super Bowl outfit

Tyla's Super Bowl outfit sparked online comments and critiques, but the “pretty girl from Joburg” remains unbothered by the fashion police.

The 23-year-old singer made a bold fashion statement at the Super Bowl, but not everyone was a fan of her outfit. A video of her outfit check circulated on social media, and the critics were quick to share their thoughts on it.

X user @jaikea23 wrote: "Why is she always wearing rags/ torn clothing. Face card always eats but the clothes confuse me just a bit."

However, Tyla embraces her individuality and unique style. She responded to the backlash with a confident message: “Y’all don't get it, and that's okay,” showing how unbothered she is about what the critics think of her fashion choice.

The Super Bowl, one of the biggest sporting events in the world, is known for its high-energy performances, exciting gameplay, and of course, fashion moments. While some may not have understood or liked Tyla's outfit choice, others praised her for staying true to herself and pushing the boundaries of fashion.

Another X user @BuyMeNiceThingz commented: "I love that Tyla's stylists aren't afraid to customize and repurpose clothes for a unique look."

Tyla's fearless approach to fashion shows her confidence and individuality. As an artist, she has always been unapologetic about her unique aesthetic, which blends elements of “Y2K” fashion.

“Y2K” fashion refers to the styles popularised in the late 90s and early 2000s, characterised by bold, playful elements like crop tops, and low-rise pants.

Her take on the style is not only nostalgic but she also makes it fresh and exciting with her versatility as she effortlessly switches between different looks while maintaining her signature aesthetic.

There’s a reason why she rubs shoulders with the likes of Anna Wintour and why she is part of the host committee for the 2025 Met Gala.

In fact, her influence on fashion is so significant that even when an outfit debuts on the runway, it's often associated with Tyla's style. Her team has successfully managed to create a unique aesthetic for her that is both edgy and chic.
