SZA steals the show with multiple stunning outfit changes

The 2024 Grammys was a night to remember, and one artist who stole the show with her impeccable fashion choices was SZA. While she didn't grace the red carpet, she made a lasting impression with not just one, but two remarkable looks during her on-stage performances.

SZA, known for her soulful music and unique style, delivered a powerful performance of her Grammy-nominated tracks 'Snooze' and 'Kill Bill' from her highly acclaimed album, SOS. Taking the stage at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, she exuded confidence and edginess in her first ensemble. Sporting a leather trench coat, a black sleeveless top, cargo pants, and a wide-brim hat, she captivated the audience surrounded by flames, trash cans, and vibrant stage lights. The opening song, 'Snooze,' set the fiery tone, and as she transitioned into 'Kill Bill,' she shed her jacket and hat, revealing her true musical prowess.

After her electrifying performance, SZA hurried backstage for a quick outfit change. She emerged back on stage wearing a stunning sheer high-neck dress adorned with bejeweled accents. However, her fashion transition almost made her late for accepting her award for best R&B song. As Lizzo announced 'Snooze' as the winner, SZA rushed to the stage, breathless but overjoyed. Her candid apology, 'Sorry I'm out of breath because I was changing then I took a shot and I ran here,' had the audience chuckling.

Not one to miss an opportunity to showcase her fashion sense, SZA took to Instagram to share yet another jaw-dropping look. She posted a picture of herself wearing a dramatic black velvet gown featuring a structured embellished neckline and a mesmerizing long train. She completed the ensemble with sheer gloves, adding an extra touch of elegance. In her caption, she expressed gratitude to the Recording Academy for the honor of being part of the prestigious event.

SZA's remarkable success with her sophomore album, SOS, earned her a staggering nine nominations at the Grammys, including album, record, and song of the year. This made her the most-nominated artist of the night. Alongside her win in the R&B category, her collaboration with Phoebe Bridgers on 'Ghost in the Machine' also secured another award.

Before the album's release in December 2022, SZA spoke to PEOPLE, giving insights into the album's storytelling. She described it as a fusion of various sounds, ranging from anger to beauty and heartfelt emotions. The album encompasses themes of heartbreak, feeling lost, and intense frustration. Clearly, it struck a chord with both critics and fans, as it continues to be a transformative force in SZA's life.

While still basking in the success of SOS, SZA has already begun teasing her next project, 'Lana.' During a special Brooklyn concert, she revealed her plans to release a deluxe version of SOS with additional tracks. This highly anticipated release has fans eagerly waiting for what SZA has in store next.

The 2024 Grammys showcased SZA's undeniable talent, but it was her fashion choices that truly caught the attention of everyone. From her edgy leather ensemble to the ethereal sheer dress and her elegant velvet gown, she effortlessly exuded style and confidence. SZA is not just a musical powerhouse but a fashion icon in her own right. As she continues to push boundaries in both her music and personal style, the world eagerly awaits what she has in store for us next.
