“New York, stand up!” Nicki Minaj arrived at the 2024 Met Gala on Monday night (May 6) looking like a floral fairy queen.
The 41-year-old rapper wore a gold-yellow Marni mini dress that resembled an oil painting and was adorned with 3D colorful flowers. She completed her look with blunt bangs and an arched ponytail with bubbles held in place by smaller flowers, plus a matching yellow purse and heels.
Minaj walked the red carpet accompanied by Francesco Risso, Marni's creative director.
This year's Met Gala celebrated the Costume Institute's spring show “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with “The Garden of Time” dress code. Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya and Chris Hemsworth were this year's co-hosts.
