Celebrity hair stylist Dionne Alexander reflects on the evolution of glam in hip-hop and shares the story behind Lil Kim's infamous look at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards. 'We were young, it was no thinking. We just did it.' Full story:
, they all were working on Kim as well, and Nzingha was her makeup artist and Misa Hylton was her stylist. So it was an easy slide in because we were already working on Mary together.
When you go over there, they had their own style, they had their own way of fashion and it kind of triggered something in me. So when I came back home, I would order European magazines all the time. And they were always so very avant garde with hair.So I had all these books and I would just go through stuff. Misa would come with an outfit and say, this is what we're thinking. And I would just go and make it happen some kind of way.
How was it working with Nzingha Gumbs and Misa Hylton? Did you think you all would have such an influence on the elevation of glam in hip-hop. That was one of the most hectic days that we have ever worked, because we did both Mary and Kim that day, all three of us. So that day was hectic, but very fun and amazing. Misa had come up with this idea with the pasty and then the outfit. She had it designed and worked out and she said, “we want a lavender wig, Dionne.” I'm like, OK, perfect. No problem. So I went and found this lavender wig and basically cut it and shaped it. That also was a synthetic wig.
I can't say anything negative about how I've seen her look. I mean, I'm older now, so things aren't my style, but when it comes to representing it, it's Cardi B. Whoever's working with her, they just do a great job. A complete look! Somewhere, somebody's thinking over there. That's all I'm gonna say, because everything looks good on her.
