Nicki Minaj brought her signature bold style to the Met Gala 2024 red carpet as she embodied this year’s “garden of time” concept in a yellow Marni minidress with 3D metal flowers and a bob hairstyle with an arched bubble ponytail on Monday night.
While the 41-year-old “Starships” rapper didn’t attend last year’s biggest fashion event, she made up for lost time in her glitzy, colorful ensemble that was completed with the help of some smaller floral hair details.
She finished off her look with a matching yellow handbag, an enormous diamond ring and gleaming pink nails from her new Pink Friday press-on nail line.
Minaj has a history of wearing bold Met Gala looks over the years, like the ultra-low-cut Burberry gown she wore to the 2022 event, which showed off a bit more than she bargained for.
In December 2023, the “Anaconda” singer admitted to Vogue that the busty dress “cemented the fact” that she needed to get a breast reduction.
“The only unplanned thing about my look is my boobs popping out, because they made my cup size a little small,” she joked on the red carpet that night, adding, “Enjoy these t–ties, ’cause y’all ain’t gonna see that ever again.”
While the mom of one skipped the 2021 Met Gala over its vaccine mandate, she’s worn plenty of other standout styles to past Met Balls, including a ballerina pink look in 2019 and a black-and-red H&M gown to the 2017 fête.
The “Super Bass” rapper also walked on the wild side at the 2016 Met Gala while showing off a sheer black dress covered in buckles designed by Jeremy Scott for Moschino.
No matter what she wears, this star always gets people talking.
