Nicki Minaj Becomes a Floral Statue at The Met Gala 2024

Nicki Minaj, the acclaimed hitmaker, brought the essence of the ‘Garden of Time’ theme to life at the annual fashion extravaganza. Embracing a vibrant and captivating aesthetic, she donned a bespoke yellow fit-and-flare minidress adorned with an array of colourful 3D flowers. 

This stunning creation, crafted by Marni under the artistic vision of Francesco Risso, featured oversized blooms intricately embellishing the shoulders, bodice, and skirt, adding a whimsical yet sophisticated touch to her ensemble.

Completing her look with matching yellow pointy-toe heels and a dainty chain-strap bag crafted from the same fabric as her dress, Minaj exuded a sense of coordinated elegance. Her hairstyle, a blunt bob crowned with bangs, was transformed into a striking top knot adorned with a vibrant floral crown, accentuating the garden-inspired theme with a playful flourish.

This marked Minaj’s seventh appearance at the illustrious Met Gala, a testament to her enduring presence and innovative fashion choices on this prestigious red carpet. Her Met Gala journey began in 2013 with a striking navy blue Tommy Hilfiger gown for the ‘Punk: Chaos to Couture’ theme, showcasing her early penchant for bold and daring styles.

Notably, Minaj’s recent appearances have not only dazzled on the red carpet but also sparked personal reflections and pivotal decisions. Her Met Gala gown, featuring a sheer dotted yoke and leather accents, played a significant role in her decision to undergo a breast reduction, a decision she candidly shared in a ‘Life in Looks’ video with Vogue.
