SZA missed the red carpet at MTV VMA

SZA wasn’t letting a little 2021 MTV VMAs mishap stop her from enjoying the night. On Sunday, SZA cheekily shared on Instagram Stories that she was a little too fashionably late to hit the red carpet. It’s our loss actually, because we missed out on some presumably stunning photos. But it all worked out in the end when SZA smiled on stage to accept the award for best collaboration for her song “Kiss Me More” with Doja Cat. Doja Cat accepted the award in a head-turning “worm”-like Thom Browne dress, and SZA’s 3-D printed Nusi Quero top was as cool as can be. She posed for selfies with Lil Nas X, hung out with Ashanti, and looked gorgeous per usual.
