SZA's nipple pasties exposed as she almost spills out of VERY revealing dress while accepting 2025 AMA Awards
SZA flashed more than just her mega-watt smile while accepting two of the six trophies she was nominated for during the 51st Annual American Music Awards on Monday following her steamy duet with Justin Bieber.
The 35-year-old alt-R&B singer dared to bare the bedazzled silver pasties decorating her décolletage as she delivered her acceptance speech onstage the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
SZA's (born Solána Imani Rowe) elegant nipple covers were on full display, peeking over the bodice of her black plunging corseted top and matching mermaid skirt selected by stylist Dunsin Wright.
Hairstylist Devante Turnbull coiffed the five-time Grammy winner's voluminous ginger mane and make-up artist Deanna Paley fully contoured her complexion.
First, SZA took home favorite R&B song for her 2024 single Saturn over rivals Chris Brown, Muni Long, Tommy Richman, and The Weeknd & Playboi Carti.
'Thank you for choosing the song,' the Missouri-born Jersey Girl said.
'I'm so grateful for everyone that worked on this song — just for the energy that was cultivated. Creating the song was so easy and I'm just grateful. God bless you, God bless everyone. Thank you to my mom and my dad.'
SZA — who doesn't play an instrument — later won favorite female R&B artist over rivals Kehlani, Muni Long, Summer Walker, and Tyla.
The One of Them Days actress immediately gave a shout out to Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, who presented the trophy, for launching a weekend-long boot camp for emerging content creators.
'Tell them about Streamer University! Congrats to Kai!' SZA said.
'Literally to all of [my fanbase] Camp, I love you so much. This is like our first time entering fan-won awards so, like, thank you for mobbing for us. I love you so much just as much as you love me, probably more, you have no idea!'
The Drive singer wound up losing artist of the year to Billie Eilish, favorite R&B album to The Weeknd, and favorite hip-hop song to Kendrick Lamar during the CBS/Paramount+ telecast.
SZA and the 37-year-old Pulizer Prize-winning poet's duet Luther wound up losing collaboration of the year to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.

The former stripper wrote on Monday: 'Arizona! Meet me here tomorrow at Westgate Entertainment District close to the stadium! See you there! Come prepared for that AZ heat!'
The 28-year-old Rhode founder also showcased her feelings with five emojis of a face holding back tears as well as a smiley face with hearts
The Oscar-nominated songwriter and Kendrick are next scheduled to bring their 39-date, co-headlining Grand National Tour to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ this Tuesday.
SZA will also be stopping by her Not Beauty pop-up experience scheduled for the same afternoon at the Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale, AZ.
'Arizona!' the former stripper - who boasts 43.2M social media followers - wrote on Monday.
'Meet me here tomorrow at Westgate Entertainment District close to the stadium! See you there! Come prepared for that AZ heat!'
SZA's awards glory came three days after Justin Bieber surprised LA's SoFi Stadium by performing their 2022 duet Snooze where he kissed her hand, danced with her, and she clutched his face.
The 31-year-old pop star's beleaguered wife Hailey Bieber signaled her approval of their steamy performance via Instastory: 'My two favorite artists.'
The 28-year-old Rhode founder - who boasts 54.9M Instagram followers - also showcased her feelings with five emojis of a face holding back tears as well as a smiley face with hearts.

Adolescence star, 15, wins big at Gotham TV Awards after getting the day off school
Adolescence star Owen Cooper won big for his portrayal of a young murder suspect. On Monday, Cooper, 15, became the winner of the Gotham TV Award for Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Limited Series. Cooper, who got the day off from school before attending the show, tied for the award with Dying of Sex star Jenny Slate, 43. Taking the stage to accept the gong on Monday at New York City, Cooper drew laughter as he thanked his parents for 'creating' him and heaped praise on his co-star Erin Doherty, 32, who played psychologist Briony Ariston and was also nominated for the same award. 'Main person that I have to thank is Erin, who is also nominated for this award. That episode that we did together, it was easy to do it with you and it was such an honor to share this, share this award with you. You deserve this award just as much as I do, so round of applause for Erin please,' he said, getting the crowd to clap. 'And I also want to thank Philip Barantini, Joe Johnson, Stephen Graham and I want to thank Hannah Walters. I just want to thank everyone that was part of the Adolescence cast and crew, everyone that was there,' he said. 'Who else, my parents for creating me. Yeah but that's about it. Thanks to Gotham awards for handing me this award.' Adolescence was nominated for four Gotham awards and won three of them -Breakthrough Limited Series, Outstanding Lead Performance in a Limited Series for Stephen Graham, and Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Limited Series for Owen (the fourth nomination was for Erin, who lost to her co-star). It's not the first award Cooper has received for his portrayal of the troubled young teen, with the actor also winning the Breakthrough Award from the IndieWire Honors. Cooper's role has also earned him a nomination for one of the biggest honors in TV - the Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor. If he wins, the sensation would be the youngest ever male winner in the 76-year-old history of the 'TV Oscars'. Experts hailed the 'genius move' of placing Cooper in Supporting, as opposed to Best Actor, which they said would massively boost his chances of winning. Despite experts calling Owen a 'lock-in' for the award, the modest teenager recently said he was just focused on succeeding at school rather than winning awards. Owen Cooper accepts the #GothamAward for Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Limited Series: "I want to thank my parents for creating me." — Variety (@Variety) June 3, 2025 'That's, like, next-level. This time last year, I didn't know what I'd be doing. It's just crazy how fast it's come around. It's an honour to be even in that conversation for an Emmy. 'I just focus on what I've gotta do at the moment, you know? I'm focusing on school, so that's just all outside noise for me at the minute,' he told Extra TV. The Brit's main competition in his category is Javier Bardem, who starred in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story and was initially the bookies' favourite. Speaking to Gold Derby last month about the prospect of gaining recognition with awards, Owen said: 'If that was to be the case, it's definitely a massive achievement and it's the next step in my life. I'll just take it and move on. 'It's one of them things that will forever be there and I'll never forget it for the rest of my life.' And he deflected the praise back to the team who surrounded him on the show. 'It's all rooted from Stephen [Graham], Hannah [Walters, the producer], Phil [Barantini, the director], Jo Johnson the producer, it's all from them. I couldn't have done it without them,' he said. Cooper, who hails from a proudly working class estate in central Warrington, was chosen from 500 candidates for the role of Jamie. It was his first-ever acting job and no one in his family has a background in the industry. He is being supported on his meteoric rise by dad Andy, an IT worker, and mum Noreen, a carer. Brand and culture expert Nick Ede predicted Owen could follow in Timothée Chalamet's footsteps and become 'the toast of Hollywood'. He told MailOnline: 'The phenomenal success of Adolescence has taken the TV world by storm and critics have been raving about Owen's stand-out performance. 'The Hollywood elite love a rags-to-riches story and, at 15 and his first ever role, this young actor who was brought up in humble surroundings could soon become Hollywood's hottest property and follow the path of many other child stars who have become household names, like Millie Bobby Brown or Timothee Chalamet. 'I'm sure writers will already be presenting his agents with scripts and synopsis that will feature him. 'As he's so young I am sure he will be looked after and not thrust into the limelight without any support. 'Being a star in the UK is very different from being an international phenomenon. I am sure the offers will be rolling in from feature films to brand deals and beyond. 'He will probably feel a lot of pressure, but also feel a massive sense of achievement from where he has come from to where he is now.' The Emmy awards ceremony will take place in LA in September.

North Dakota's historic sites will finally have toilets that flush
Lawrence Welk didn't have a flush toilet where he grew up, but visitors to his childhood home in rural North Dakota now do. The bandleader's childhood family home marks the latest step in the State Historical Society of North Dakota's nearly completed goal of installing flush toilets at its dozen most popular, staffed sites. The most recent success, with the final three planned to be completed soon, came before the unveiling of a statue of Welk at a site that draws fans who recall 'The Lawrence Welk Show,' which ran on TV for decades starting in the 1950s. The North Dakota group's goal of replacing pit toilets with flush units may seem like a humble aspiration to some, but it's an important milestone, said Chris Dorfschmidt, a historic sites manager. 'A lot of our sites are kind of in the middle of nowhere. As I like to put it, history didn't happen where it's convenient,' he said. 'Because of that, if you've driven all the way out there, and that's the best we can do to kind of accommodate you, it's not the most pleasant experience.' North Dakota has 60 state historic sites — everything from museums and an underground nuclear launch facility to plaques mounted on boulders in fields. 'All of our sites, they really do help share a story of us as a state,' Dorfschmidt said. Two other facilities are slated to be finished by June 30: at Whitestone Hill, the site of a deadly 1863 attack by U.S. troops against Native Americans; and Fort Buford, a military fort near the Missouri-Yellowstone river confluence. The Historical Society also is eyeing the Chateau de Mores for flush toilets. The wealthy Marquis de Mores built the 26-room home in 1883 near Medora, a present-day tourist town in the state's scenic Badlands where a young President Theodore Roosevelt once roamed. Less-visited sites that aren't staffed likely won't receive a restroom upgrade, which costs about $150,000 each. At the Welk Homestead, about 50 miles (80.5 kilometers) southeast of Bismarck, workers matched the color scheme of the restroom to the house and farm buildings, including interior colors. 'We made it to fit into the site and harmonize with the site and just be a pleasant part of the experience,' Historic Sites Manager Rob Hanna said.

Levi Wright's parents emotionally reveal 3-year-old's final moments on one-year anniversary of tragic death
Levi Wright's mom and dad emotionally remembered their late son's final moments on the one-year anniversary of his accidental death. Last year in May 2024, their three-year son had been riding his toy tractor when he drove it into a raging creek near their home in Utah. Two weeks later, his mom Kallie and rodeo star father Spencer took their little boy off of life support after doctors said that he had suffered brain death due to oxygen deprivation while underwater. Kallie shared a new post on Monday to an Instagram page dedicated to Levi - and revealed both she and Spencer were able to hold their son as he passed away. 'A year ago today we held you as you took your last breaths,' she began alongside a photo of herself and her husband cradling Levi on a hospital bed. 'They said it could take a day or 2, I was so scared I wouldnt be holding you when you left and that was so important to me. You stayed with us 17 minutes.' 'A year ago today we held you as you took your last breaths,' she began alongside a photo of herself and her husband cradling Levi on a hospital bed Kallie continued, 'As you left an overwhelming feeling came over me & I knew we had done right by you. For me this isnt the day you fully left us but the day it became official. 'Levi we talk about and think of you everyday. We live for you! Our love for you is stronger than ever.' Upon his passing, the three-year-old was survived by his parents as well as older sister Steeley and little brother Brae. Kallie previously detailed her harrowing recollection of how the toddler was critically injured after driving his toy tractor into a raging creek near their family home in Beaver County, Utah on May 21 of last year. Levi was driving his tractor on their land and crossed the creek, which divided the property between theirs and Levi's grandparents. Kallie previously explained that the water in the creek 'only runs through for a short time during the year and can change overnight.' In a post post, she added, 'Levi did not do anything he hasn't done before, but this time the water was at its peak and strong enough to push his tractor off the road into the creek as he drove through.' According to a statement from the Beaver County Sheriff's Office, Levi was 'quickly located' and received 'life-saving measures.' Kallie dove into the creek to rescue her son after he disappeared beneath the surface of the fast-flowing waters. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance before being airlifted to the children's hospital in Salt Lake City. The initial prognosis was devastating as doctors concluded he suffered brain death due to oxygen deprivation while underwater. But his heart was beating on its own and Levi's dad said the family 'received multiple small miracles' and doctors were 'surprised by the strides he has made.' He survived 12 days in the hospital with flickers of hope that he could regain brain function before his devastated parents shared they had to say goodbye and turn off his life support on June 2. In the the obituary she wrote for her son, Kallie said that 'Levi was exceptionally thoughtful and considerate for his age. He was constantly thinking of others.' The grief-stricken mother continued: 'His heart was pure, tender, and oversized. Levi loved his sister, Steeley, and playing with her was one of his greatest joys.' During Levi's funeral, his sister - who was five at the time - gave a heartbreaking eulogy to her late brother. Steeley bravely climbed up on a stool behind the podium where she spoke of her immense adoration for her brother, with gentle encouragement from her mother. 'Levi was my best friend,' his brave sister told the audience of mourners. 'I loved coloring with him and reading books. We always have fun riding our bikes down the hills together.' Steeley added that she and her brother were fond of taking 'walks in front of the water' together. Levi's devastated sister concluded by saying: 'I miss my brother so much, but I'll love him forever.' On the same day of the funeral, Levi's mom Kallie posted a tender tribute to her son, entitled: 'We love you beans!' The video, which was posted on Facebook, was a montage of the different magical moments from Levi's short life. Viewers were able to see Levi as an infant, first learning how to say 'Mama' and 'Dada' as well as him often playing outdoors. Given Levi's passion for tractors and heavy equipment, it was only fitting that the montage includes multiple clips of the boy in different vehicles. Alongside a throwback photo with Levi as well as her other two children Steeley and Brae, she wrote: 'Mother's Day isn't quite the same when a piece of your mama heart is missing!' The video came to an end with a painting of Levi standing in a field across from Jesus. Last month in May, Kallie also took to the Instagram page dedicated to her son to share a moving Mother's Day post. Alongside a throwback photo with Levi as well as her other two children Steeley and Brae, she wrote: 'Mother's Day isn't quite the same when a piece of your mama heart is missing! 'To all my mamas that hurt a little extra on this day, I see you.'
