Earlier this week, rapper Nicki Minaj had all eyes on her glam high top-knot bun at TIME’s 100 most influential people awards. The natural-haired beauty opted for the less is more look with the simple slicked up high top-knot bun that was twisted and tucked expertly. Her hair was the perfect complement to the cut-out, sheer lace dress that was chosen and fitted by Givenchy’s Artistic Director, Riccardo Tisci.
