SZA goes bold at AMAs in plunging Niharika Vivek draped gown with fun hip cutouts
The centerpiece of SZA’s is a structured, pointed corset in a vibrant royal blue. It featured repeating gold-embroidered patterns reminiscent of classic Indian textiles. The corset sat over a fluid, deep navy-to-midnight blue silk fabric that was artfully draped around her body. The saree-inspired upcycled draped gown by Niharika Vivek featured a plunging, gathered halter neckline and a heavily ruched, low-slung maxi skirt that cascades down one side in elegant folds. The cutouts at the hips made its silhouette bold and asymmetric.
Styled by Briana Andalore, the “Kill Bill” singer accessorized with gold jewelry that echoed the embroidery in her corset. She wore stacked gold bangles on her wrists, delicate drop earrings, and a subtle pendant necklace that drew attention to the halter neckline. For footwear, she opted for strappy heels.
She also wore her voluminous, copper-auburn hair in dense, cascading curls that framed her face with effortless grandeur. Finally, her makeup complemented the warm undertones of her hair. SZA sported a sharp, winged eyeliner, a softly contoured complexion, and a glossy, lined lip. At the May 25 ceremony held in Las Vegas, she took home the American Music Award for Favourite Female R&B Artist.
The official Instagram page for Niharika Vivek shared a carousel featuring the singer in the custom dress. In the comments, SZA wrote,” THIS DRESS IS INCREDIBLE.. literally want 30 more like it in every color lol thank you SO MUCH.” Meanwhile, on SZA’s post, the brand wrote, “it was such a pleasure to make this beautiful look for you! you look unreal this colour was meant for YOU.”
