SZA laid the groundwork for her red carpet style when she stepped out at the 2018 Grammys, fresh off the success of her critically acclaimed album CTRL, in an otherworldly princess dress from Atelier Versace. From that moment on, the singer’s style (much like her genre-defying sound) has been in constant flux.
Whether she’s in her element at the Grammys in cut-out body-con looks or cozying up to A-list actors at the Oscars while wearing bridal white Vivienne Westwood, SZA’s fashion choices remain entirely true to herself. There are plenty of dreamy, fairy-esque looks (like that JPG look she wore, while on crutches no less, at the 2022 Grammys) and more risqué turns in form-fitting club dresses from the likes of Mônot and Rodarte.
SZA has never been one to place her allegiances with just one brand—but Versace, Vivienne Westwood, and Maison Margiela have been constant go-to’s for the star. Here, look through SZA’s best red carpet moments over the years.
