Nicki Minaj let it slip that she has a special collaboration with H&M coming out in the fall. The rapper wore a custom H&M gown with a long train and kimono-style top to the Met Gala earlier this week.

Minaj did not go into details into what the collaboration would entail while speaking to reporters at the opening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s spring exhibition on Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons, saying only, "I have a special collaboration coming out with H&M this fall and so they are dressing me for the [Met Gala]."

This is not the first time the recording artist has partnered with a clothing retailer. She previously created a clothing line for Kmart, which was discontinued earlier this year after a decrease in sales.

Minaj was not the only one to be dressed by the Swedish fast fashion retailer for the Met Gala. The brand also outfitted attendees such as Ashley Graham, Joe Jonas and Future in custom pieces.
 
The gown created exclusively for Minaj included long taffeta train, a silk kimono top and leather Obi belt which featured a mask of Kawakubo’s face. “Partnering with H&M has been an incredible and unique experience. The look we have created is so special to me and I’m looking forward to sharing this moment with everyone,” the rapper said in a press release.
