Netizens are getting crazy over the recent Nancy x Tyla collaboration. Tyla is a South African singer with pure talent. Someone of her age to be this successful and immensely popular amongst youth is rare. Tyla is not only limited to South Africa but is a global sensation. Before any award approved her, Tyla’s talent proved her worth.
Whereas, Nancy Tyagi, an internet designer is breaking every stereotype and limit. Nancy’s journey was quite full of struggles but her supportive mother fought everything. Other than her financial struggles her story is quite resonating with Tyla. These two have started their career from their social media platforms, Instagram. Both started getting recognition through Instagram but fame came slowly to them.
Tyla recently came to India for her concert, part of her tour We Wanna Party. This was her first-ever performance and appearance in India which will be remembered forever. Nancy, a homegrown self-taught designer made a dress for Tyla, which she simply didn’t accept but adored. Tyla’s reaction to the dress was priceless and she also had a photoshoot in the dress. While posting the shoot pictures online, this one showed how grateful she was. In her Instagram post, Tyla called Nancy her twin on whose reaction was worth seeing. The dress wasn’t a regular Western design but a saree-inspired look. And to complete the final look, Nancy embraced Tyla with a Bindi.
How Nancy x Tyla is Different?
When international celebrities come to India they prefer wearing traditional outfits. The last huge event was the Ambani wedding. In the function, almost every international model and celebrity was there. All of them very kindly show up in traditionals and steal the limelight. This time it’s not the same, till now celebrities have always preferred big names. Manish Malhotra, Sabhya Sachi, Amit Agrawal and others but not anymore.
For someone like Nancy to design a dress for a global star is really big. Nancy never went to any designer school or had any fancy degree. She was neither guided nor had fancy tools, even today she uses basic equipment. In the name of the studio, she uses a space in her home. A sewing machine, a pair of scissors and some other tools. In her case, pure talent and hard work speak. There are always a few fixed names that are remembered when it comes to traditionals. But after this collaboration, it won’t be the same. Netizens have reacted to this situation wholesomely. People say Nancy is representing India globally but in a purely different style.
Nancy’s story, her struggles and her lifestyle are what make this entire thing big and special. Nancy is someone who has the same story as any other Indian girl. Starting from stereotypes to poverty, safety concerns and limited resources tried to be an obstacle for her. Nancy’s faith in what she’s doing and her mother’s support carried her through this journey. In 2024 when she first walked her first Cannes to the end of December 2025 she was unstoppable. She reaches there where nobody else does and always steps ahead of any other.
The Videsi Look
Till now many have tried Indian traditions especially female stars. From film premieres to Ambani’s weddings, they flaunt their flawless look. Some of them looked too comfortable while others passed the vibe check. When it comes to Indian traditions, especially a saree, nobody can beat this one superstar. The saree itself embraced her, she never tried to look Indian but somehow became one.
The best part is that she carries the saree so well that it blends with her personality. Indians also certified her with the tag of a true Videsi girl. None other than Zendaya is who we are talking about. After her, only Tyla passes the OG’s judgment. Her photos were enough to speak on behalf of both Nancy and Tyla.
In her Instagram post, she called Nancy her twin and the internet does the same. Netizens everywhere on social media flooded comments saying they both look very similar. To make Tyla fully a Videsi girl, Nancy gave a final touch with a Bindi.
This symbolic measure represents India, globally.
