SZA’s Biggest Red Carpet Fashion Risk

"The Met Gala [dress] had matching boots, and I had torn my ligament a couple days before so I had to use a cane. I couldn't have anybody with me at the Met Gala. There's no one in there, it's just you by yourself. I thought my ankles were going to give out before I could even get up the steps. And they were asking, 'Turn this way, come this way,' and I was about to pass out. I was in so much pain, I couldn't even express that.

Then when you walk in, you have to shake Anna Wintour's hand and I was just like, 'I want to go sit down, and I want to go hide because I'm about to fall over on this poor lady and I can't believe it.' And then my crown broke, like, 40 times, and I'm like, oh my God, not the atelier! Honestly, I love getting into character, so the more costume-y you can make it, the more fun I'm gonna have 'cause as soon as I can depart from me and my Solána nervousness, then I can just pretend I'm in Narnia."
