After a meteoric debut on the music charts, it only makes sense that Ice Spice [1] would have just as iconic of an introduction to the Met Gala, too. The rapper attended her first-ever Met Gala red carpet [2] on Monday night — reportedly, by invitation from Anna Wintour herself — in a sparkling white Balmain gown that featured a train silhouette and sequin embellishments all throughout. Sheer, body-contouring cutouts adorned the floor-length dress, which highlighted her curves all while elevating her look with a more sultry flair.
Marissa Pelly [3] styled the rapper for the affair, and has been the creative force behind a number of Ice Spice's show-stopping outfits this season. Ice Spice swapped her signature orange curly locks for a glossy, slicked-back hairstyle that shined beneath the carpet's beaming lights, and she went with a minimal beauty look — complete with light pink nails, peach-coloured lips, and a sharp cat eye.
Unlike some of the other skin-baring ensembles seen throughout the evening, the rapper opted for a more conservative silhouette that felt enchanting without being underwhelming. In true Ice Spice fashion, she also managed to make the red carpet her own by forgoing the need for a handbag or clutch and carrying around a bedazzled camera accessory instead — fitting, because who wouldn't want to capture every moment of their first Met Gala? Also, perhaps a nod to the trending social media joke that she never puts down her bag [4].
Ice Spice has been making waves with her fashion choices this season. Earlier this spring, she donned a black and white optical illusion dress [5] on the iHeart Radio Music Awards red carpet that was just as mesmerising as her Met Gala 'fit.
