SZA has recently wore a saree-inspired ensemble at the American Music Awards 2026. The Indian designer, Niharika Vivek, shared a behind-the-scenes montage of the ensemble’s making, which includes her working for hours with her team.

Captioning the video, she shared, What a dream to see @sza wearing an indian brand to the @amas and winning!!!!! we used a 50 year old vintage kanjivaram silk saree for her corset alongside a whole bunch of beautiful satin silk for a gorgeous draped skirt with a cut out inspired by indian sarees. it’s such a huge honour to see an indian indie brand represented on a global stage by an international artist like @sza. we hope to see a lot more of this [three blue hearts] sidenote: we all think this might be one of the most beautiful colours on sza she’s never looked more radiant.”

SZA also shared a video of her walking, wearing the outfit. She wrote, “THANK YOU @amas THANK YOU CAMP !”

This is not the first time that the singer has worn a saree. When she visited India in 2025, she performed at Isha Foundation’s spiritual program in Tamil Nadu. She had also attended the Samyama retreat, which she called profound and chaotic.
