Tyla’s 2025 Met Gala outfit might have looked like a million bucks, but we’ve got great news: You can buy a piece of it for way less than you might expect. The “Water” singer’s elegant tennis choker comes straight from Pandora, and it’s somehow still in stock right this minute.

Fresh off her first appearance at Coachella, the newly minted Pandora ambassador returned to the Met Gala after her viral debut last year. And while this year’s look didn’t require a team to lift her up the steps of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it was no less breathtaking. Tyla’s custom white Jacquemus dress featured Pandora-beaded pinstripes and loose threads, nodding at bespoke suiting and the night’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
The performer’s Pandora accessories continued the story: A custom diamond-set monocle evoked the dandy tradition of carrying pocket watches, while bespoke stud earrings leaned unisex. Makeup by Pat McGrath Labs evoked Black style icons like Dorothy Dandridge and Josephine Baker, and a blonde updo served vintage Hollywood worthy of her position as a member of the 2025 Met Gala host committee.
But really, it’s that choker we can’t stop thinking about. Rather than fight the rest of the look with a dramatic pendant or gigantic jewels, it perfectly marries the lines of the dress with her diamond jewelry. (Sometimes, it’s best to let the simple stuff shine.) Tyla’s choker featured the brand’s lab-grown diamonds, but you can buy the exact same style in sterling silver and cubic zirconia for $195.
Tennis necklaces, especially layered ones, are a major jewelry trend this year—but they also have the rare distinction of being true classics. Also known as line or rivière necklaces, the iced-out pieces feature a single row of gems set in silver or gold. They’re synonymous with old-money glamour, and diamond-encrusted options can easily run into thousands of dollars. This Tyla-approved option, though, offers the same look at a relatively more accessible price point.
Take a styling cue from the singer and pair your piece with a low-cut dress at your next wedding or dressed-up event; it’s more than enough to carry a whole look. You can also use it as a focal point for a more low-key outfit, like a T-shirt and a denim skirt. And you can even pay homage to its sporty origins by pairing it with an exercise dress before a match—there are no wrong answers, especially when you’re wearing something Met Gala–worthy.
