Nicki Minaj Reveals Moment That “Cemented” Breast Reduction Decision

Nicki Minaj says that she “cemented” her decision to get a breast reduction after attending the Met Gala in 2022. Speaking with Vogue for the outlet’s Life In Looks video series, Minaj explained that her chest was such an inconvenience on her outfit that she knew it was time. In the video, Minaj reflects on various looks from throughout her career.

When she gets to a photo of herself at the Met Gala, she noted: “I just realized just this moment that actually there was something good that came out of this. It’s what really cemented the fact for me that I had to get my breast reduction.” Minaj recalled: “I said, ‘You guys, listen, look, these boobs are gonna be spilling out.’ And by the time we were ready to go, I looked in the mirror, I said, ‘Guys, my boobs are still spilling out.’” She joked that she “knew before we even left the room that the boobs were about to have a night of their own.”

North West Wants Yung Miami To “Stop Copying” Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian’s eldest child with Kanye West, North, is known for her outspoken demeanor. The spunky 10-year-old never shies away from sharing her thoughts, making for an endless supply of entertainment for fans. For this reason, it’s no surprise that she has quite a few hot takes on different celebrities, recently weighing in on City Girls’ Yung Miami.

In a new clip from The Kardashians, North is seen sitting on a couch watching the 2023 Met Gala, giving her opinions on those walking the carpet. Yung Miami then popped onto the screen, rocking a sheer black gown with a dramatic neckpiece, complete with some strands of pearls draped across her torso. While North didn’t appear to be explicitly disappointed by the look itself, she did have some qualms about its similarities to her mother’s.

North West Reacts To Yung Miami’s Met Gala Look

“She’s pretty… It’s just, stop copying my mom with those pearls,” she declared before flashing a peace sign. Kim K showed out in an extravagant custom-made Schiaparelli gown at the event. It famously featured upwards of “50,000 freshwater pearls” as well as “16,000 crystals.” While she had no issues coming to the defense of her mother’s look, North made it clear that she wasn’t a huge fan of that, either.

Later in the episode, she gave her take on the look to Schiaparelli’s creative director himself, Daniel Roseberry. “I like the pearls. I just don’t like that it comes from the dollar store,” she shared, claiming that it made her mom look like a “Hawaiian girl with her dress all ripped.” According to her, there were also “way too (many) gaps in the pearls,” and “the diamonds ruined it.” What do you think of North West’s reaction to Yung Miami’s 2023 Met Gala look? Do you agree with her? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

North West Holds Nothing Back While Critiquing Kim Kardashian’s MET Gala Look

North West has already developed a reputation online for being hilarious. Her complete lack of filter and willingness to say whatever is on her mind has made for one hilarious moment after another on The Kardashians and that was no different when fans got a behind-the-scenes look at how her mom’s MET Gala fit came to be. Kim K clearly cared what North thought about her dress and asked her for her perspective and opinions multiple times, which she was happy to provide.

In one clip she critiques the bust of the dress, first saying it isn’t big enough and then changing her mind to thinking it’s too big after an adjustment. But the part of the look she really doesn’t like is the pearls. Despite Kim’s insistence that the pearls they’re using are real and very expensive, North is convinced that they look fake and isn’t afraid to say it. Once the MET Gala itself actually starts, North and her cousin Penelope Disick watch along from home critiquing various celebrity outfits. In particular, they seem to take issue with Pete Davidson’s look and Jared Leto’s now notorious cat suit. Check out all of the clips below.

North West Roasts MET Gala Fits

In the comments of a repost of the videos fans muse on one particular person that North is starting to remind them of. “This is Kanye’s female reincarnation and Kim and the gang didn’t think she wasn’t gonna be like this? This isn’t even her final form,” one of the top comments on the post reads. “Kim thought she got rid of Kanye but his genes said Aht Aht not so fast,” another comment with even more likes agrees.

It was just earlier this month when North West was part of a different viral clip. In that video Kim accuses her of scamming other celebrities with her expensive lemonade stand. What do you think of North West’s take on Kim Kardashian’s MET Gala fit? Do you agree with her takes on other fits from celebs like Pete Davidson and Jared Leto?

Kim Kardashian Trolled By Kourtney Kardashian With Her Halloween Costume

Kim Kardashian and her sister Kourtney are in a pretty nasty feud right now, at least for gossip-heavy reality TV standards. Moreover, even though they still have moments of reconciliation and they clearly still love each other, the public eye isn’t holding them in the friendliest of regards with each other. Not only that, but there are some ideas for taking shots at each other that are just too good to pass up. For example, Kourtney recently showed off her Halloween costume for this year, and it’s a hilarious recreation of her sister’s Met Gala look for 2013, baby bump and all.

Of course, this reference to Kim on Kourtney Kardashian’s behalf can be interpreted in a few different ways. One of those is a simple homage: Kourtney thought the dress was beautiful and that her sister pulled it off in an iconic way. Another is ridicule: that look and moment was such an anti-slay that it could be its own freaky Halloween costume. Either way, it’s pretty comical for die-hard fans, although the recent context around their relationship makes it hard to see as anything less than a slight jab.

Kourtney Kardashian Emulates (Or Mocks) Kim With Her Halloween Costume

Regardless of these petty disagreements, Kourtney still wished Kim Kardashian a happy birthday recently, and reflected on them. “Happy happy birthday to my first sister @kimkardashian!” she expressed on IG on Saturday (October 21). “Thank you for all those years of bossing you around and you actually listening to all my cr*zy ideas. People think the fights they’ve seen on tv are bad… if only they got to witness the hair pulling, nail digging ones from early high school. The joys of sisterhood. I love you deeply forever and always. May God bless this year with love and happiness and abundant joy. [heart emoji].”

Given that she also included a picture of them in matching Halloween costumes for the occasion, maybe this spooky season costume isn’t the dig that context would have you believe. Still, this is the Kardashians we’re talking about. What’s family without a little drama? For more news and the latest updates on Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, stay logged into HNHH.

Yung Miami’s Met Gala After-Party Dress Made Out Of 55 Handbags, Inspired By Chanel

This year marked the Met Gala debut of many celebrities, though none of them did it quite like Yung Miami. Not only did the mother of two shock fans by arriving to the event with Diddy as her date, but she also donned one of our personal favourite looks on the red carpet for the night. The City Girl’s stylist, Marni, came through with the perfect vibes not only for the main event but for the after-parties as well.

In an interview with Complex, designer Duran Lantink spoke about the work that went into making Miami’s second look of the night. According to him, the rap diva’s team got in contact with him just two weeks before the Met. At the time, they requested various concepts paying homage to the late Karl Lagerfeld. Thankfully, Lantink has previously worked for the likes of Beyoncé and was more than up to the task at hand. “Once Karl Lagerfeld presented the double F Fendi logo on top of a hat. So I started thinking about playing around with the double C Chanel logo,” he explained, referring to the headpiece worn by Caresha below, which instead reads CG, for City Girls.

Yung Miami’s Chanel-Inspired Post-Met Gala Outfit

The dress itself was put together using 55 handbags, which were purchased across eight different cities in Holland. “Chanel is known for the leather fabric going through the handbag chains and I thought of the idea of creating braids that sort of go through the chains and then hit the ground,” Lantink told the outlet of his initial vision. Of meeting the Caresha Please host during their fitting, he added, “She was so sweet. And she seemed to enjoy it. I know Marni really wanted that dress to be the red carpet look.”

Rihanna Brings Bridal Energy In New 2023 Met Gala Photos With A$AP Rocky

Much like her arrival at the actual event, Rihanna is sharing her 2023 Met Gala photo dumps fashionably late. The annual event unfolded on the first Monday of May, but it wasn’t until Friday (May 5), that the “Rude Boy” singer’s Instagram feed lit up with more photos of her and the rapper’s tributes to Karl Lagerfeld. She first surfaced on the red carpet in a white, floral gown that’s been compared to icing piped on top of a cupcake on Twitter, but by the end of her walk, Rih revealed a beautiful white gown underneath, which perfectly hugged her quickly growing baby bump.

The 35-year-old looked undeniably bridal in her bright ensemble, and Rocky looked as dapper as ever by her side. He kept it business on the top half, layering a sharp black blazer over a white button-up and a thin tie. Beneath his various belts, the vibe was much wilder, with a traditional kilt layered over light-wash bedazzled jeans and black, silver-toed boots. In her first IG post of the day, Rihanna quipped about tying the knot earlier this week in the caption. “Shout outz 2 the bridal party… Here come de bride #idoKARL #METgala2023.”

Rihanna’s 2023 Met Gala Photo Dump

Seeing as it’s become a tradition for some fashion houses to end each runway presentation with a bridal look, it only makes sense for Rihanna to be the last to arrive at the Met Gala with such an on-theme look. Throughout her carousel, we see various angles of her and the New Yorker posing for the media pit together, as well as a stunning snap that shows the sheer length of the Bad Gal’s train. From the looks of her last selection, she and A$AP seem to have been all smiles for yet another New York City date night together.

Shortly after that landed, the expecting mother’s post count grew by one more as she shared more sweet behind-the-scenes moments. “Just another manic Monday,” her caption reads.

Doja Cat’s Met Gala Cat Makeup Took Two Artists Hours To Apply But It Was All Her Idea

The 2023 Met Gala went with a theme honoring late designer Karl Lagerfeld, and while that decision may have proven to be controversial, the assembled stars certainly went above and beyond to stick to it — especially Doja Cat, who went as Lagerfeld’s beloved cat Choupette. Doja really committed to the bit, even going so far as to only “meow” in response to questions during her red-carpet interview with Emma Chamberlain.

The special effects artist who helped to create Doja’s facial prosthetic for the cat look shared some process photos on Instagram, while Instagram itself — along with Vogue — posted a few videos detailing the behind-the-scenes creation of Doja the Cat. While Oscar de la Renta co-creative directors Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim designed the look, prosthetic artist Malina Stearns and makeup artist Ernesto Casillas created the mask. It took four hours to apply, but Doja was alright with that since it was her idea in the first place.

You can check out videos and photos from the process below.

The Gala’s theme didn’t go over with everyone, though. Actress Jameela Jamil criticized some of the attendees for embracing Lagerfeld as the theme given some of his controversial stances and comments about women. “Last night Hollywood and fashion said the quiet part out loud when a lot of famous feminists chose to celebrate at the highest level a man who was so publicly cruel to women, to fat people, to immigrants, and to sexual assault survivors,” she wrote. “And all the women’s publications, and spectators online, chose to gleefully ignore it… Nobody has perfect morals, least of all me, but Jesus Christ we had a year to course correct here, and not award the highest honor possible to a known bigot.”

Behind The Scenes Of Doja Cat’s Met Gala Face Prosthetic

Doja Cat likely will not be invited to the Met Gala again based on her alleged rulebreaking. However, her decision to dress up as Karl Lagerfeld’s cat is certain to have a lasting impact. She spent much of the night meowing into the microphones of various reporters, staying fully in character. Now, we have details of how the look came to be. On May 2, Vogue, Instagram itself, and a special effects artist posted several Instagram videos revealing how they helped Doja Cat arrive at the 2023 Met Gala looking like a cat.

Prosthetic artist Malina Stearns and makeup artist Ernesto Casillas helped accomplish Doja’s transformation. Apparently, it took four hours to apply prosthetics and makeup to Doja’s entire face. Oscar de la Renta’s co-creative directors Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim designed her outfit, with the concept in the works for nearly a year. The cat-inspired makeup was a tribute to her stage name and the late Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette. Furthermore, according to her creative director and stylist Brett Alan Nelson, Doja herself suggested the prosthetic idea.

Did Doja Just Drop A Look At A New Video?

Doja Cat has been dropping hints about her upcoming album for some time now. Her latest Instagram post provides fans with solid confirmation that it is on the horizon. The post features a clock emoji, signaling that the release is almost here, and includes photos of a sleek car and the artist herself in a black leather jacket with dark, moody lighting. Fans speculate that these images may be from an upcoming music video or promo visual. Over the past few months, Doja has been building anticipation with her feature on SZA’s “Kill Bill” remix, where she showcased her rap skills. Given her versatility and eclectic influences, fans can definitely expect the unexpected from her forthcoming album.

Recent reports indicate that Doja Cat named her upcoming album Hellmouth. Recently, she gave fans an idea of when it might be released. Responding to negativity about her (lack of) hairstyle on Twitter, Doja expressed frustration about people editing hair onto her head. She said that they should be making money instead. Additionally, she also mentioned that she’s aware that the edits will continue for the next four weeks until her lead single is released. Consequently, she said she may delete or log off from Twitter during that time.Whether or not the lead is really going to be released in 4 weeks remains to be seen. What do you think about the new look at Doja’s material? Let us know in the comments!

North West Helped Recover Kim’s Pearls As Met Gala Fit Fell Apart

Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala outfit turned heads on Monday night. The reality star and businesswoman arrived in a Schiaparelli gown comprised of two sets of pearl necklaces. According to reports, the pearl aspects of the gown were comprised of 50,000 genuine freshwater pearls. Schiaparelli is an iconic fashion house. They also dressed gala co-chair Michaela Coel at this year’s event.

While it was not as extravagant as some of the other outfits on display, such as Doja Cat’s literal cat suit, Kardashian’s look suited her perfectly. It was seductive, provocative, and just a little overly extravagant. Furthermore, it didn’t earn her controversy like her choice to wear Marylin Monroe’s dress in 2022. However, these dresses are not meant to be worn for more than a few hours and Kim’s dress began to fall apart before she even stepped onto the red carpet.

Kim K’s Daughter Helps As Dress Falls Apart

North West was expected to attend the Met Gala along with her mother after she had been seen with her father in New York. However, she did not walk the red carpet, instead staying in the car for most of the event. North wore a vintage Chanel blazer paired with medium-washed denim straight-legged jeans and black Chelsea boots. finishing off the look with a conch shell clutch. However, Gala attendees must be at least 18 years old. Kylie Jenner also brought her daughter, Stormi, to New York prior to the Gala. Kylie wore a custom Jean Paul Gaultier dress to the event.

However, North played an important role as Kim’s dress began to fall apart on the way to the gala. “Some popped on the way, and I told my daughter to grab them all. They’re real pearls, and she was putting them in her purse,” Kardashian told Vogue. Premium freshwater pearls can cost as much as $3000 a pearl, meaning that losing even one would be throwing away a lot of money. While it’s unlikely that Kim’s dress cost $150,000,000, it’s still a lot of expensive resources to be dropping in central Manhattan. Be sure to check out all of HotNewHipHop‘s coverage of the Met Gala.

Doja Cat Poses Sultrily In Cat Suit On Instagram

Doja Cat was asked many things at the 2023 Met Gala, to which all she could respond was a firm, cheeky, and slightly inflammatory “Meow.” Moreover, her stunning tribute to gala theme Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette turned all heads at the ceremony. Not only did she arrive in a shimmering cat suit dress, but she employed prosthetic makeup to fully emulate the cat look. Furthermore, if we were in her position, we also wouldn’t give up a fit like that so easily. In addition to her show-stopping pics from the gala, the “Woman” artist posted some more pictures of her laying on her bed with her cat suit.

Of course, the 27-year-old’s fashion choice wasn’t the most controversial part of her 2023 Met Gala appearance. Fans were quick to notice online that Doja Cat was spotted vaping on multiple occasions throughout the night. Considering that she previously canceled some tour dates due to throat surgery, this was disappointing for many fans. Still, if there’s anything we can count on Doja for, it’s to do things her own way and make impactful artistic statements while doing so.

Doja Cat Keeps Her Stunning Met Gala Outfit On Display

Even though she might be banned from the Met Gala in later years as a result, maybe she won’t. After all, Doja Cat is one of the most beloved and talked about fashionistas in pop culture at the moment. Not featuring her during her insane relevancy in music and fashion today would be a huge missed opportunity. Just look at how mad fans got when neither Beyoncé, Zendaya, nor many others graced the gala this year. Regardless, apparently “no smoking” is a pretty big rule there, so we’ll see how consequential the aftermath really is.

Beyond that fan debate, Diddy and Doja Cat hosted an afterparty for the occasion shortly after it wrapped up. Guests included Cardi B, Paris Hilton, Emily Ratajkowski, Teyana Taylor, Naomi Campbell, Kendall Jenner, and Bad Bunny. No matter what went on behind the scenes or during interviews, it seems like they all had an opulent blast.
