]]> American Express presents BTS Hyde Park, which kicked off the first day with a performance from US R&B star SZA, featuring a brand-new performance set that created a beautiful, cavernous botanical garden. SZA concluded her show, saying “Today was my first day performing with the new set. You’re like my second home. I’ll always come back here. You’re the best crowd. I love you. Goodnight!” The new set marked a new era for SZA, as she teased her new album at the event.

SZA appeared at the Hyde Park event on June 29th, in a head-to-toe vintage, Dior outfit, styled by Matthew and Reginald Reisman. She donned a halter-style top, mini shorts, knee-high boots, knee-brace, and oversized bomber-style jacket completely clothed in the iconic Dior multi-logo with the addition of green, red, and yellow stripes in various places on the garments – perhaps a nod to her mixed-race heritage. The vintage Dior came from John Galliano’s Dior Rasta line that was released in 2004, inspired by the colours of the Rastafarian movement. The outfit definitely made a statement, incorporating her new backdrop perfectly with the more subtle Dior print and pops of colour blending nicely with the trees and insects that adorned the set. 

The 90-minute show gave us hit after hit, featuring songs from her five-time Grammy-nominated Ctrl, and her second record SOS. We heard ‘Love Language,’ ‘Broken Clocks,’ ‘All the Stars,’ ‘Drew Barrymore,’ ‘F2F,’ and her hit song with Doja Cat ‘Kiss Me More.’ We also saw a sword-wielding spectacle during ‘Kill Bill,’ a nod to the infamous Uma Thurman movie and her iconic yellow jumpsuit. SZA even sang one song whilst riding a giant ant, a truly crazy and entertaining moment of the show that showed her prowess in working a crowd and providing a show for her audience. As she neared the show’s end, background vocals played as she casually shouted, “New album, you ready?” The crowd went wild, with SZA’s new music becoming highly anticipated after her announcement on Saturday. She concluded the show with ’20 Something,’ thanking the crowd and telling them she’ll return…hopefully for her new album.  

SZA’s headline act was not the only glorious performance on Saturday, with numerous supporting acts bringing their talent to the BST Hyde Park stage. Prior to SZA, London-based legend Sampha appeared on the Great Oak stage, performing songs from his two albums, ‘Process’ and ‘Lahai.’ Snoh Aalegra also added to the R&B theme of the day, performing early favourites such as ‘Nothing Burns Like the Cold ft. Vince Staples,’ ‘Nothing to Me,’ to ‘DYING 4 YOUR LOVE.’ 

British artists had the chance to shine at the London event, with performances from Oxford-born Elmiene and Leicester’s Sekou. Elmiene’s set was 21st Century R&B, inspired by 90’s neo-soul with searing vocal runs and shimmering music. He told the audience “You’re sounding beautiful […] And they say festivals are hard. I don’t know what they’re chatting about. This is the sh*t!” Later in the day, Sekou appeared on The Rainbow Stage, bringing a new kind of soul to Hyde Park with her breakthrough single ‘Better Man.’

Also on The Rainbow Stage, headliners No Guidance resurrected the golden age of R&B, with their viral new EP, released just last year, titled Is It a Crime? That went viral on TikTok and caught the attention of artists like Anderson.Paak and Labrinth. Other incredible artists of the day included Hope Tala, Fabiana Palladino, Nia Smith, and Jessy Blackmore.

Since SZA broke onto the music scene she has time after time worn styles which have fans in awe. She is the queen of cool casual dressing as well as creating wow moments at award ceremonies and events. Her music videos are of course also full of fits which capture the artist’s vibe and emphasize SZA is not to be messed with. A chameleon of style, SZA pulls off fierce fits, but also rocks oversized, casual outfits just as well. In celebration of her ongoing chart success with most recent album, SOS, we reflect and celebrate some of her iconic looks.

Her music videos are of course also full of fits which capture the artist’s vibe and emphasize SZA is not to be messed with. A chameleon of style, SZA pulls off fierce fits, but also rocks oversized, casual outfits just as well. In celebration of her ongoing chart success with most recent album, SOS, we reflect and celebrate some of her iconic looks. 

A Denim Dream

No need to wonder about what you will be dreaming about tonight after seeing SZA in her denim getup. It is sparkly, it is denim, it is everything we love about the noughties. She gives the look a twist by matching the denim two-piece with a denim cap- her signature style. It is a sexy, fierce look from SZA and we give it a ten!

Ring Me Up

SZA shows off her gorgeous figure in the gorgeous Louisa Ballou design. Blooming beautiful, as inspiration for the collection comes from her paintings of flowers in bloom. The rings which are carefully and manipulatively placed on SZA’s dress are a key telltale it is a Louisa Ballou design. In love with the designs and in the future, we hope to see SZA in similar fits. No blue feelings attached to this look.

Liberate

Flawless. The long sleeve, maxi, printed dress suits SZA on another level. This picture has the power of influencing immediate search results for similar dresses. We can’t stop thinking about it, so if you are anything like us, we have attached similar products for you to browse, so you’re not wasting anytime.

Yellow Warning

SZA’s stylist, Alejandra Hernandez, is killing it with the looks we are seeing SZA in. As we have said, SZA is a sorcerer for turning casual fits into iconic looks. A look very on brand for the singer, the cut-away body suit paired with the bright trousers and trainers, works. 

The Woman In Black

SZA is a picture of perfection in the elegant black gown. A style that will never go out of fashion and keep producing amazing reactions. In her iconic style, the dress of course, features cuts. With an asymmetrical shape cut from the torso of the dress and a high leg slit, it adds a sensual element to the classic style.

The Little Mesmerize

Everything about this look is giving Ariel aesthetic, and we are not complaining. The ‘Kill Bill’ singer places as much care into her hairstyles as she does her fashion. We loved the red hair and think her choice to wear a delicate teal satin dress was a marvelous idea- our very own Disney Princess.

Blazer Boss

We shouldn’t be shocked by this point, but it is incredible how many styles SZA can pull off. The androgenous suit look is a big yes from us. The oversized boxy blazer remains symbolic of women’s empowerment as women adopted styles in menswear. Very fitting for the feminist icon and she creates a level of sex appeal by wearing nothing underneath. 

Double Trouble

Glitzy glam for the single released with Kali Uchis. The almost matching outfits are memorable looks for both singers and we hope remain as iconic as they do now. Maybe not for your everyday, but certainly top tier outfit inspiration which we could not miss out.
