Minaj stopped on the blue carpet for an interview with Entertainment Tonight, where she explained the inspiration behind her Thom Browne navy pinstripe dress to match the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme of the night.

“Thinking about the tailoring of everything. First of all, Thom Browne is known for his craftsmanship. To me, it represents a proud period of African-Americans,” she said. “That’s what I got out of it when I saw the photos of what it would be about.”

Minaj — in her mermaid gown accessorized with a floral bouquet and a gold headband — continued: “It reminded me of putting on your Sunday’s best and being iconic in your own world.”
