To celebrate the big night, the chart topping entertainer attended a VMAs afterparty in New York City. Minaj arrived alongside her team in a silver satin gown by Burberry.
The garment had a ruched neckline, large bow on the side of the bodice and extreme thigh-high slit. Sticking to her signature Barbie aesthetic, the “Super Freak” hitmaker styled her bright pink tresses half up, half down and flipped the ends up.
