Nicki Minaj wore a gold minidress with hand-painted 3D flowers to her 7th Met Gala. Here are all of her gala ensembles

Nicki Minaj has become a Met Gala veteran.

The “Pink Friday 2” rapper attended the 2024 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday in New York City. This year’s theme was “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” which drew inspiration from the Costume Institute’s exhibit showing fashion masterpieces, according to Vogue.

The event’s dress code was “The Garden of Time,” a nod to J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story of the same title.

Minaj, 41, has attended the Met Gala seven times since 2013. Here are all her looks.

The 2013 Met Gala theme was “Punk: Chaos to Couture,” but Minaj kept things simple in a dark blue gown featuring cut-outs along the midriff and a square neckline. Tommy Hilfiger designed the gown and gifted Minaj a $32,000 Rolex for being his guest at the event.

“Oh gee, thx Tommy,” she wrote on X, known as Twitter at the time.

Minaj waited three years to attend her next Met Gala, which had the “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” theme. She posed with designer Jeremy Scott, wearing a Moschino creation on the red carpet. Scott announced in March 2023 that he intended to step down from his role with the luxury fashion brand.

The sheer black dress featured a plunging necklace and black belts with bejeweled buckles. Minaj also wore black sheer opera gloves.

Minaj attended the 2019 Met Gala — with the “Camp: Notes on Fashion” theme — in an all-pink halter minidress designed by Prabal Gurung. It included a plunging sweetheart neckline, an extravagant train, and silver jewels strung across the fabric.

During a red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight that May, Minaj admitted that she didn’t understand the event’s “camp” theme.

“Up until today, I had no idea what ‘camp’ was,” she told the outlet. “So, I don’t even know if this is camp, to be honest.”

May 2022: Minaj arrived to her sixth Met Gala in a gown designed by Burberry

The COVID-19 pandemic prompted Met Gala organizers to cancel the event in 2020, and Minaj didn’t attend the 2021 ceremony due to vaccine protocols. However, she returned to the Met Gala red carpet in 2022 wearing a dramatic black gown by Burberry.

Harper’s Bazaar reported that the all-black ensemble featured a strapless leather jumpsuit adorned with a large belt buckle and a long feathered train. Minaj’s outfit was paired with a matching black cap, and she accessorized with black jewels across her skin.
