The Met Gala is one of the most dazzling nights on the fashion calendar, so it’s no surprise Hip-Hop showed out on the red, white and blue carpet last night (May 2).

The stars donned their most exquisite threads to attend the prestigious event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The 2022 Met Gala’s theme is In America: An Anthology of Fashion, or “Gilded Glamour,” however, not everyone stuck to the dress code.
Some of rap’s finest and most fashionable stars dazzled on the night, opulence dripping from their luxurious threads.
Cardi B
While Cardi B has given us some memorable Met Gala looks in the past, this year was no different. The “WAP” hitmaker was accompanied by fashion maven Donatella Versace and wore one of her stunning designs.

She then thanked the designer for allowing her to “showcase” her stunning Versace gown and told La La Anthony she loved the night’s “gold, regal” theme.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj made headlines last year when she said she would not be attending the 2021 Met Gala due to their COVID-19 safety protocols. She then tweeted about her Trinidadian cousin’s testicles and went viral, keeping the internet in a frenzy for some time.
However, this year, Nicki was stunning in an all-black ensemble complete with matching fitted, designed by her “baby” Ricardo Tisci for Burberry. During her red-carpet chat with La La, Nicki revealed she was only there in support of the designer.
