From 'Water' to 'Chanel': Tyla slays on 'The Tonight Show' stage once again

Returning to the critically acclaimed show, Tyla made the most of her second appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

The 23-year-old singer continues to make her mark on international stages, this time with a stellar performance of her hit single “Chanel” on “The Tonight Show” stage.

She delivered her first-ever televised performance of “Chanel” on the late-night show, commanding the stage with ease and confidence.

From the moment she entered, her intro made it clear that this was not just another performance, but a fashion statement moment. 

It was the kind of performance that pulls you in without shouting for attention, and one thing about Tyla is that’s her speciality.

Her choreography was effortless, and she didn’t need backup dancers this time. The song is about being out in Chanel, so of course, the singer came to the party with the looks. 

Tyla wore a bold, sheer Chanel Spring/Summer 2026 skirt set layered over a bra and micro shorts underneath, pairing high fashion with her signature confidence. 

The sheer skirt was styled with a matching Chanel top, which she left on the floor as she strutted to the stage. 

The look was layered with multiple silver and red beaded necklaces across her chest. Reminding everyone of her reputation as an artist who understands how style and music can work together.

The “Chanel” performance also felt like a full-circle moment. In 2023, Tyla stood on the same stage performing her hit song “Water”, the breakout single that introduced her to a global audience and went on to rewrite history for African female artists on international charts. 

Two years later, she returned not as a newcomer but as a proven hitmaker with another song dominating music charts and playlists.

While “Water” marked her arrival, “Chanel” shows that she’s here to stay. The song has continued to climb on streaming platforms, driven largely by TikTok, where its dance challenge took on a life of its own.

The growing numbers, paired with moments like her Fallon performance, are proof that Tyla is no longer chasing momentum; she has it, and she’s keeping it.

Her return on "The Tonight Show" reflects just how far she has come and how comfortable she now looks owning spaces that she’s worked so hard for to reach. 

As of now, “Chanel” has peaked at number 15 according to Tyla Charts on X.
