Nicki Minaj wore a custom avant-garde kimono designed by H&M to the 2017 Met Gala with the theme of "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between". The kimono featured an obi belt with Rei Kawakubo's face, a duchesse satin top, black vinyl roses, and a red Swarovski crystal stripe. The unique look paid tribute to the theme of the event and stood out from other outfits on the red carpet.

Gala at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 1, 2017 in
New York City.
When it comes to grand entrances, you can always count on Nicki Minaj.
The star never does things by halves, and for her Met Gala appearance this
year, Minaj and her stylist Maher Jridi went for all-out glamour, working with
the team at H&M on a custom look befitting hip-hop’s queen. With an obi
belt featuring the face of Comme des Garçons’s designer Rei Kawakubo, a
duchesse satin kimono top, and unorthodox details like black vinyl roses
and a single stripe of red Swarovski crystals, the look was an arresting
tribute to the night’s theme—and unlike anything else on the red carpet.
