Minaj’s look was custom-made by the brand’s creative designer, Francesco Risso, who accompanied her on the red carpet. The bright yellow minidress featured an artistic finish reminiscent of oil paintings and flower sculptures in different colors popping out of it.
Minaj added floral accents to her hair and completed the look with a matching yellow handbag and yellow shoes.

The Met Gala raises funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and celebrates the Costume Institute’s annual exhibits. This year’s theme, “The Garden of Time,” nods to the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit, which will open to the public on Friday. The 2024 event is notably cochaired by Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth and Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour.
