It may be 2021, but SZA showed up to the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night wearing a hairstyle that took us back to our early 2000s [1]. Before switching things up and sporting a fiery orange wig for her performance at the award show, the "Good Days" singer appeared on the red carpet wearing one of this year's biggest retro hair trends [2]: the money piece highlight [3].

For the uninitiated, a money piece highlight is a bold, face-framing highlight [4] that hairstylists typically use to accent and frame the face. SZA's take on the trend featured a jet-black colour that she accented with a chunky blond highlight. The style was created by hairstylists Tevin Washington [5] and Randy Stodghill [6].
