00:00Okay. I'm losing it right now. Can you tell us what inspired this look tonight and how long it was in the works?
00:07You look good. You look good. You look good.
00:09It's been in the works for a couple of months, and I work closely with Pharrell, with Louis Vuitton,
00:14and we were heavily inspired by Monica Miller's book and her exhibit.
00:20We studied a little bit on this character, Julius Soubise, which really stood out to me,
00:26and I felt very inspired by him tonight.
00:29Oh, you look good. Can we get a 360? Because I want to see the shit with his jacket.
00:32Yeah.
00:33Come on now. Come on, y'all.
00:35Y'all see it?
00:36Yes. And I see the little Louis Vuitton on the cheek.
00:39I see the Louis Vuitton on the cheek.
00:41It's giving.
00:42Look, hold on. This is your first Met, and you're already killing it.
00:44How does it feel as being your first Met Gala?
00:47I'm a little nervous, but it feels really good.
00:50This is one of the biggest nights in fashion, and for it to be so black, I'm present. I'm here.
00:57I'm here. I'm here.
00:59You're the third woman in the history of the Grammys to win Best Rap Album.
01:04Yeah.
01:05We just have to take a moment for that. That is incredible. That's so incredible.
01:08How has fashion contributed to the way you upend expectations about what a rapper should look like?
01:14I think it's contributed a lot, especially this year, me having the project that I have out heavily inspired by, like, 90s rap, and I felt inspired by the theme of student of hip-hop, and I feel like that's very dandy.
01:26I love that. Well, my daughter Junie loves you, so I'm going to say that.
01:28I love Junie!
01:29Oh my God!

01:35Yes, and your mama made that happen, Junie.
01:38Yes, so yeah.
