South African singer Tyla is fully embracing the Y2K revival as she counts down to the release of her upcoming album, ‘APOP’. The Grammy winner surprised fans with a playful new promotional photo in a string bikini. Her outfit paired nostalgic swimwear with lingerie-inspired styling. It proved once again that her fashion choices are just as headline-worthy as her music.

In the snap shared on Instagram, Tyla wore a tiny TRIANGL neoprene string bikini set. It first became a fashion phenomenon in the mid 2010s. The colorful bikini featured structured cups with the brand’s signature black piping. It blended pastel pink, white, and turquoise panels for a bold color-blocked finish. The matching low-rise bottoms peeked out above her briefs, making the swimwear a focal point of the outfit.
Rather than wearing the bikini on its own, Tyla layered it beneath hot pink sheer lace lingerie briefs. The briefs sat low on her hips, allowing the bikini bottoms to remain visible. She completed the playful look with an oversized black cardigan worn open, adding contrast while keeping the retro-inspired ensemble casual.
The singer leaned fully into the Y2K aesthetic with long neon pink hair styled in loose textured waves. She flaunted dramatic smoky eye makeup and glossy lips. Tyla accessorized with a sparkling belly button piercing and showed off colorful neon leg tattoos underneath the sheer lace briefs. This added another nostalgic touch to the outfit.
The look accompanied Tyla’s countdown to ‘APOP’, her upcoming album, which is set to arrive on July 24. Sharing the image with fans, she wrote, “14 days to APOP!!!!!!!!! Which track number you claiming?”
The post quickly caught the attention of TRIANGL itself, with the swimwear brand commenting, “She’s a Triangl Girl.” Overall, the outfit combined nostalgia and vibrant appeal. It perfectly matched the playful, early-2010s energy Tyla brings to her music.
