Nicki Minaj Transforms Herself for the Met Gala

Hi, how are you?

I m not wearing a shoe, so just ignore that.

I love that. It s fine.

What is this made out of?

So this is actually a satin base

and then it s been painted at least 10 times.

Wow. So a one layer,

then having to dry it. Yep.

Another layer, so 10 layers like that.

How do you feel tonight?

Like what character are you tonight?

Oh wow.

I think this is giving a bit of new persona

mixed with a little bit of Harajuku.

Mixed with a little bit of [indistinct].

It s doing a little bit of, but not too much of anything.

I agree, it s balanced.

Was this a collaboration with you two?

Yes, of course.

We ve been working on it for a while, a while now.

Sending stuff back. Bouncing back.

Yeah. All possible information.

Nicki has been amazing with me, yeah.

What parts do you feel like are very you

and what parts do you feel like are very you?

Oh my God, this whole thing is very him, you know?

And that s what makes me so excited is to,

I wanted to really feel transformed.

Yes. Into the theme

and also to feel like I was going to be wearing

something that felt unique.

Yes, yes. And fly and forward.

And that s what this is.

I didn t expect it.

Like when I was seeing pictures of it,

I didn t think it was gonna look right on me, you know?

I m like, how are they gonna make that fit?

And thank goodness it did.

Well, you both look chic and incredible

and go have the best night ever in there.

Do the same. Appreciate you guys.

Thank you. Thank you so much.
