At the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscar celebration in California, singer SZA wowed the crowd with her amazing appearance. In contrast, the singer’s facial characteristics have changed significantly since 2014, when these selfies were taken.
What caused the change to occur? Did the singer have a team of professional contour artists to do her makeup for her, or did she undergo plastic surgery? What we know is as follows.

Who is SZA
American singer and songwriter Solána Imani Rowe (born November 8, 1989), better known by her stage as SZA (/sz/ SIZ-). After releasing her first two EPs, See.SZA.Run (2012) and S (2013), she signed with Top Dawg Entertainment, a hip hop record company, and released her third EP, Z (2014), as her first retail release.

She collaborated with Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé on the song “Feeling Myself” the same year. During the year 2016, she contributed to Rihanna’s “Consideration” track. Ctrl (2017), SZA’s debut studio album, was met with accolades from all corners of the music industry.
It was awarded triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and became the second-longest charting R&B album by a woman on the US Billboard 200.
The album netted her four nominations, including Best New Artist, at this year’s 60th Annual Grammy Awards.
In 2020, Rolling Stone included it in their list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Her contribution to Maroon 5’s top 10 single “What Lovers Do” was released in August of 2017.
The following year, she shared a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song for her work with Kendrick Lamar on the top ten single “All the Stars” from the Black Panther album.
SZA Looked Quite Different When She Started Her Career
The singer’s career began when she was introduced to Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) in about 2011. After hearing her music, president Terrence “Punch” Henderson signed her, and her first two EPs helped her gain a fanbase.
In 2013, SZA was only starting to make a name for herself. She has already worked with other members of her label by 2014, when she released the EP “Z.”
The next year, she began penning tunes for other superstars including Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé, and Rihanna. This is what she looked like in 2015, which is to say, not much has changed.
SZA’s Features Started to Look Different After Her Breakthrough
SZA’s 2017 first album, “Ctrl,” was met with universal acclaim and propelled her to prominence. It was certified platinum and debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200. Time magazine even declared it the best album of 2017.
And it was during this time that the artist’s appearance began to shift. SZA did, however, manage to shed several pounds by that time. That’s probably the case, and it explains why her face seems diminished.
She defended Kendrick Lamar’s controversial lyrics regarding stretch marks in an interview published in 2017, during which she discussed her weight loss. If you really care about women, she argued, you should be accepting of women of every size and shape.
I have stretch marks all over my body because I used to weigh 200 pounds. I feel much better when Kendrick tells me I look great.
Has SZA Addressed The Surgery Rumors?
Although she never addressed the claims head-on, the fact that she has now removed photographs that outlets were presenting as evidence that she might have had surgery is certainly interesting to her admirers.
In 2018, for instance, a photo of her receiving an award from the City of Hope strongly suggested that she had a nose operation. She thanked @cityofhope for hosting her last night in the photo’s text.
I am humbled to have received this award at a gala for cancer research. However, the singer took it down after fans and media outlets began using it to speculate about her upcoming operation.
Hmm… She has been transparent about her journey to a healthier weight, but has remained mum on the subject of plastic surgery. She attended the 2018 Dove Launch of Girl Collective and spoke about how she has always felt beautiful by being herself.
