Style Icon | Lil Kim’
Lil’ Kim is not only a rap and Hip-Hop legend but she is a fashion and style innovator.
Known for flashy, ‘ghetto fabulous’, head to toe monogram printed outfits, matching coloured wigs, designer labels, ‘barely-there’ red carpet style moments, she is the ultimate blueprint.
Inspiring high fashion, Hollywood and the entertainment industry, Lil’ Kim’s influence is unparalleled.
In the realm of entertainment, the image of everyone from R&B girl groups, Pop’s biggest stars and Hip Hop’s leading artistes have been influenced by Lil’ Kim’s look from the nineties.
Lil’ Kim is the reason why rappers like Cardi B, Meghan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj wear head to toe monogrammed outfits by fashion houses like Fendi, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Gucci. She is also the reason why present day artistes in this lace-front wig generation wear coloured wigs that match their outfits.
More importantly, she is the reason for the ‘barely-there’ Hip-Hop and R&B aesthetic.
Before the red carpet moments of the likes of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, Lil’ Kim was the reigning queen of the celebrity ‘look-at-me’ red carpet moment.
An innovator, a pioneer, the blueprint… Lil’ Kim is a beauty and style icon.
