Earlier this month, Tyla was honored with a Grammy award for Best African Music Performance for her hit song “Water.” Adding to her list of achievements, the South African singer recently starred in Gap’s latest commercial on February 27, marking her debut in a major fashion campaign.
In the 80-second clip, Tyla is seen dancing to Jungle’s “Back On 74,” dressed in a tan-colored crop top and matching wide-leg cargo pants. These items are part of Gap’s Linen Moves collection, which also features button-up shirts, vests, halter tanks, trousers, and skirts.
I’ve always admired Gap commercials, so it’s a thrill to be part of one, especially with Jungle. I love ‘Back On 74.’ I was watching that video so many times before I got the offer, so being part of that world was really fun,” Tyla told Complex. “It was a cool experience.”
Discussing her personal style, Tyla said, “I’ve always been into fashion and experimenting with clothes, trying out different characters. I remember taking my mother’s clothes and swapping them with my cousins when we visited each other. We’d fill up bags of clothes. I’ve always loved clothing and experimenting with it, trying new things. Now, I’m in a phase where I’m exploring more, which is exciting. So, yeah, I’m definitely into fashion.”
In March, Tyla is set to release her self-titled debut album, which will include previously released singles like “Butterflies,” “On and On,” and “Truth or Dare.” The album will also feature the “Water (Remix)” with Travis Scott.
