00:00I'm going to go down.
00:01Yeah, do it.
00:02Give us some of your moves.
00:03Ooh, save that for the show.
00:09We are in Paris.
00:11I don't know if that's how you say it, but...
00:13How do you say it? Paris?
00:14I'm performing for the LVMH Olympic pre-party event.
00:19So I'm very excited.
00:21I'm going to meet Pharrell.
00:23Literally, my mom messaged me and she said,
00:25tell Pharrell I love him.
00:26I haven't performed in a while,
00:28so it's going to be very fun.
00:31I mean, the Olympics, it doesn't happen all the time.
00:34So I'm so happy that I'm able to be here around this time.
00:37It's so special.
00:38It's in Paris.
00:39It's literally going to be in the river.
00:43So for skin, this is what I'm thinking.
00:45Very sporty, like you've worked out, kind of flushed.
00:48Almost like you've sweated.
00:50That's always the direction.
00:52Fresh face, like makeup, but it shouldn't look like I have
00:57a lot of makeup.
00:58We want to make it look like she's worked out in the clothes.
01:01Yeah.
01:01A little bit, but still came out glamorous.
01:04Came out glamorous.
01:06I'll pretend because it's boiling.
01:09Paris was literally my dream place to ever go.
01:12Like me and my siblings used to share a bunk bed
01:15and I painted my bunk bed, like the Eiffel Tower,
01:18the Lock Bridge, literally everything.
01:20And I got in so much trouble.
01:22But I've literally always wanted to come.
01:24This year, it's literally been insane.
01:27Like all of the opportunities that have come to me,
01:30Grammy, MET Gala.
01:32I dropped my first album ever, debut album,
01:35called Tyler's, doing so well.
01:37I'm a very private person.
01:38Getting used to the world, knowing who I am.
01:41I'm just getting used to all of that
01:42and getting comfortable with all of that.
01:44But I feel blessed.
01:45I feel excited for the future.
01:48So I'm wearing Louis Vuitton today.
01:51I'm wearing the leather soccer jersey,
01:55which I'm in love with.
01:56But I'm wearing a tracksuit to the carpet.
01:57So I don't know, I think it's going to be cool.
02:03It is the pre-opening.
02:05So we're going to go really sporty,
02:08giving kind of gold medal, but with a Tyler twist.
02:12We also want to give power.
02:14We want to give those bold accessories.
02:16We want to give bold footwear.
02:17Elevate that sport era for Tyler,
02:20because I don't think people have seen her like this yet.
02:22With styling, it's kind of like very collaborative.
02:25I send references to my stylist.
02:27They pull that and they pull other stuff.
02:29And in the room, I just pick, put things together.
02:33And then, yeah, we have fun.
02:34The inspiration here was obviously Olympic,
02:37obviously sport, and obviously gold.
02:41I started back home in South Africa.
02:43I used to post a lot of like covers.
02:46And I used to enter like singing competitions.
02:48There used to be these apps where you could win money.
02:50Anything that I could do, I would do.
02:52And yeah, I would just record music every weekend.
02:59It's good.
03:00After the Tabasco.
03:01Initially, it was a bit bland.
03:04If it's bad, Tabasco will save it.
03:06Like I'm telling you now.
03:07So, thank you Tabasco.
03:12Woo!
03:18Hey, the fan is blowing right against me.
03:21Yeah, we got a bit tired.
03:22So, we're going to chill.
03:24You ready for my close-up?
03:29Hey, Saba.
03:30Is that good?
03:31Yeah.
03:32Merci.
03:33I'm French, by the way.
03:37The theme for the party tonight is middle worthy.
03:40So, gold always come first.
03:43I'm just a gold girl.
03:44I don't like, I like silver sometimes,
03:47but gold is my color.
03:51So, I used to not be able to do makeup.
03:54And then, when I went on the Under the Influence tour,
03:58I actually had to learn.
04:01And now, I'm a professional.
04:09Yeah!
04:16How don't you look ever?
04:17Perfect.
04:18Okay, we haven't decided on shoes yet.
04:20So, what I want to do is pop these on
04:24and then really adorn the ankles with even more gold.
04:26So, we just go a little bit more
04:29because you're winning tonight.
04:35This is hot.
04:37It's gorgeous.
04:38I feel middle worthy.
04:41This is the first time I'm wearing men's wear to AQAP.
04:44It's something so chill.
04:46Like a gold.
04:47I really like these.
04:48Here, I'll take this.
04:50What do you mean, spot?
04:51Here, you can have some.
04:52I usually don't like chokers,
04:54but this one shall stop that.
04:56Yay!
04:58Olympics, sporty.
05:00Winning the gold.
05:01Yes.
05:02If rings don't fit, stop it!
05:04Voila!
05:06So pretty.
05:07One day, I'm going to arrive onto a red carpet
05:10with my hair like this.
05:12I don't know.
05:13Maybe we take a picture and you text me.
05:14Okay.
05:15Because hey, when we put it down, it might slay.
05:17We should take it out so we can see and shape it.
05:20Let me take a picture.
05:21Since I can't go on the carpet.
05:23We decided to get on stage and rock up the crowd.
05:31It's giving LL Cool J gold medal.
05:36Good morning, Paris.
05:37Good morning, Paris.
05:43I'm going to go down.
05:44I'm going to go down.
05:45Yeah, do it.
05:46Give us some of your moves.
05:48Save that for the show.
