One thing the ‘Queen’ rapper will do is SLAY a MetGala red carpet!
The ‘Starships’ rapper, was a vision in Thom Browne, styled by Law Roach!
Styled by Law Roach, the ensemble featured a deconstructed pinstripe top and matching skirt to align with the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme. For an extra twist on the suited look, her off-the-shoulder neckline revealed a bright white bra underneath and a handful of fabric flowers cascaded from her right shoulder.
Roach revealed on his Instagram Story that Minaj’s look was inspired by the quaintrelle. He told ELLE.com that “there’s a female counterpart to the dandy—the quaintrelle—I think of someone like Cardi B, Mae West, and Jayne Mansfield, and those women with those bodies. Everything’s perfectly tailored. The waist is perfectly tiny.”
Minaj’s evolving style has long been part of her appeal. From Oscar de la Renta to Prabal Gurung, the rapper’s Met Gala looks have ranged from ultra-feminine to avant-garde, often aligning with her artist persona’s duality: theatrical, but also deeply personal. In her words, “When you understand yourself better…you are able to love yourself, and you’re able to love the imperfections that you never loved before.”
