.LilKim shares the story behind her iconic ’90s MetGala looks.
The Met Gala has played host to countless fashion moments, but few have been as bold as Lil’ Kim’s turn on the museum stairs back in 1999. A power pink combination of a fur coat, bra top, and hot pants, her Versace look instantly made a splash and is remembered as one of, a thrilling interpretation of the year’s “Rock Style” theme. It stood in stark contrast to the ballgowns and throwback glitz chosen by other attendees.
The outerwear was one-of-a-kind, while the pastel python boots came directly from the runway, which presented a unique challenge. “Mind you, I wear a size 4 1/2 or 5 in shoe, but they didn’t make the shoes she wanted me to wear that small,” explains Kim. “The only ones available were the ones on the runway for the models! Those were a size eight, but they were beautiful, and I loved them.
As anyone who has seen the “Crush on You” video can attest, Kim is skilled at pulling off a monochromatic look. To carry the Versace concept head to toe, she opted for matching streaked extensions. “My hairstylists and makeup artists would always get a sneak peek of my outfits,” she says. “At that time, a woman named Dionne was doing my hair, and she was like family. She’d come to my house and sometimes stay overnight until she finished because she wanted everything perfect.
