“New York, get a sh—!” Nicki Minaj looked like a flower fairy queen when she got to the 2024 Met Gala on Monday night (May 6).
The hip hop artist, who is 41 years old, wore a bright yellow Marni minidress with 3-D flowers of many colours that looked like an oil painting. Her outfit was finished off with heels and a bag in the same colour as her hair. She wore her hair in short bangs and a bubble ponytail that was held together by smaller flowers.
Minaj walked the red carpet with Francesco Risso, who is the creative head for Marni.
“Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” the Costume Institute’s spring show, was the theme of this year’s Met Gala. The dress code was “The Garden of Time.” This year, the co-hosts were Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, and Chris Hemsworth.
Minaj went to the Met Gala while on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. The tour will start again on Wednesday at the Smoothie King Centre in New Orleans. The European part of the trip will start on May 23 at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam.

Minaj brought out Cyndi Lauper for the first time to perform “Pink Friday Girls” with her on May 1 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Centre as part of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. The song heavily uses Lauper’s 1983 hit “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.”
Her most recent album, Pink Friday 2, came out on December 8 through Young Money and Republic Records. It was number one on both the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, where it stayed for three weeks.
