SZA and Tracee Ellis Ross were among the many stars who attended Monday night's Met Gala in New York. According to Black-ish actor Ross, however, SZA was the only person there whose outfit doubled as a lethal weapon. During an appearance on Conan on Thursday she told the host how she had a hairy moment with the halo sitting on top of her friend's head.

"That beautiful headipiece she has on was so sharp on the ends and in our selfie she caught on to a tuft of my hair," Ross said." I was like, 'Oh God.' When a photographer came over to take our picture I was like, 'I'm not falling for that shit again.' I will not lose an eye, not even for SZA."
