June 21, 2025, belongs to Tyla — period. The South African starlet didn’t just host the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, she took over the entire night. She made history as the first African host, snatched an orange blimp for Favourite Global Music Star (Africa), and did it all while serving FIVE jaw-dropping outfits and soaking in slime like a pro.
The night was a vibrant celebration of pop culture, music, movies, gaming, slime—and a whole lot of style. Here’s a breakdown of all the fashion, all the winners, and every celeb moment worth talking about.
👗 Tyla’s 5 Looks? A Masterclass in Pop-Star Fashion
1. Neon & Palm-Print Perfection (Orange Carpet)
Tyla started the night with a glowing orange carpet moment in a neon yellow tank and palm-print mini skirt. Paired with sleek braids, golden glow, and minimal jewelry, it was giving “tropical cool girl meets fashion week.” Absolute serve.
2. White Crop & Statement Bottoms (Press Carpet)
Look two was all about red-carpet polish. A clean white crop top met bold, eye-catching pants that gave high fashion without trying too hard. Hair? Bone-straight and laid. Accessories? Minimal but expensive-looking. A 10/10 upgrade.
3. Black on Black for the Stage (Opening Number)
For her opening performance with DJ Benny Blanco and Smurfette (yes, the actual Smurfette), Tyla came out in a black performance ensemble — chic, comfortable, and built for movement. The vibe was dancer-core with a sprinkle of diva energy.
4. Sporty Slime-Ready Glam (Mid-Show Hosting)
Mid-show, Tyla changed into a sporty tee and shorts combo — and good thing she did. This fit was cute, functional, and slime-resistant. Because when the green goo started flying? She was ready.
5. Soaked in Slime — and Still Slaying (Award Speech)
When Tyla accepted her orange blimp, she was dripping (literally) in slime, but still glowing. Same sporty look, just soaked — and somehow, she made it look fashion. Her emotional “Africa to the world” speech had us all in our feels.

🎤 Tyla’s Moment Was Bigger Than Hosting
Tyla didn’t just host — she owned it. She performed. She got slimed. She won. Her speech — “This means the world to me… Thank you for dancing with me. Africa to the world!” — hit different. A global pop star in her element. And she did it all while keeping it playful, fashionable, and heartfelt.

💅 Final Thoughts
The 2025 KCAs were a celebration of Gen Z energy, viral culture, music, and Nickelodeon’s classic slime—but most of all, they were Tyla’s stage. 5 outfits. 1 award. Endless charisma. From fashion-forward to fun and fearless, Tyla proved she’s not just a star — she’s the moment.
And if this was just the beginning? The world better keep up.
