Nicki Minaj returned to the Met Gala in style, after missing out on last year’s event due to its COVID-19 policy.
The 39-year-old Pink Friday rapper arrived in a bedazzled look, with crystals covering her chest, arms and face, and made a sporty statement by wearing a black baseball hat.
The singer put her ample cleavage on display in a sleeveless Burberry tiered black tulle gown with ruffle and feather details, which opened up at the front.

The beauty accessorized her ensemble with even more sparkling accents, wearing diamond studs in her ears.
As for glam she rocked a smokey eye and winged liner, as well as a light nude shade of lipstick.
The singer last attended the exclusive event in 2019. In 2021 she skipped fashion’s biggest night citing their COVID-19 vaccination policy as the reason.

They want you to get vaccinated for the Met,’ she said in a tweet from September 2021 tweet. ‘If I get vaccinated it won’t [be] for the Met. It’ll be once I feel I’ve done enough research. I’m working on that now.’
The beauty also took to her Instagram to share a snap of her with designer Riccardo Tisci, 47 – Chief Creative Officer at Burberry – who looked dapper in a black tuxedo.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit, also known as the Met Gala, is considered by many as the ‘Super Bowl of celebrity red carpets.’
Fashion’s biggest night is traditionally held the first Monday in May to raise money for the Costume Institute in New York City, with last year’s event moved to September due to the pandemic.
This year’s dress code is ‘gilded glamour’ to match the theme of ‘In America: An Anthology of Fashion,’ a continuation of last year’s ‘In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.’
Tickets for the glitzy event can reportedly cost up to $35,000 apiece, while prices for a table range from $200,000 to $300,000, with last year’s bash raking in a whopping $16.4 million for the Met’s Costume Institute.
