SZA suffers unfortunate wardrobe malfunction while accepting American Music Award

Everyone was left saying the same thing about the singer's dress

SZA mustn't have been expecting to win any awards at this evening's American Music Awards as the singer certainly wasn't equipped to get up on stage.

At the ceremony in Las Vegas, SZA won best Favorite Female R&B Artist beating the likes of Tyla, Summer Walker and Kehlani.

While SZA has been nominated for a handful of music accolades tonight, her outfit isn't terribly appropriate for getting up and down the stage steps.

After it was announced that she'd won Favorite Female R&B Artist, SZA (real name Solána Imani Rowe) needed two people to help her get onto the stage because of her extremely tight dress.

At one point she tried to jump up the steps before realizing that she almost gave fans an eyeful of her chest in the process as a result of her fashion choice.

Spotting this, she found another way to get on stage without creating a NSFW moment and ultimately shuffled her way on stage to accept her award.

Discussing her ensemble on social media, one AMA viewer penned: "LMAOO not SZA can’t get up the steps.. dress too small and falling off her ass. Top falling down. What is going on.. then for her to tell them folks she can’t get up there."

See the moment here:


"Was Sza having a wardrobe malfunction," another wrote.

A third went on: "Sza is literally hopping up the stairs cause she can’t move in her dress lmao."

A different person pondered: "Sza had me dead with that tight ass dress lmaooo like please why do celebs willingly wear uncomfortable sh*t!!"
