Nicki Minaj

Wedding bells are in the air! The Pinkprint singer/rapper teased her fans with a vague tweet (she wrote “I’ll post later” accompanied by a diamond ring emoji) before confirming on Instagram that she was, indeed, engaged to her boo, Meek Mill, who had bought her a stunning yellow diamond heart-shaped ring. Congrats to the happy couple! We’ll be eagerly awaiting our wedding invite.

Solange

You didn’t think Solange would have your run-of-the-mill ring, did you? Solange’s ring might be even cooler than Solange and Alan Ferguson themselves (if that’s possible).

Mary J. Blige

Styles come and go, but that ring is forever. Mary tied the knot with Kendu Isaacs in 2003, but not before Kendu presented her with the rock of all rocks.

Jennifer Hudson

He put a ring on it, but they haven’t sealed the deal just yet! Jennifer’s fiancé, David Otunga, proposed six years ago, but so far, no wedding date. At least she has something pretty to look at in the interim.

Wendy Williams

We spy with our little eyes something big and shiny. Wendy married her hubby, Kevin Hunter, in 1997, but the marriage—and the ring—are still as lustrous as ever.
