Music artist Lil’ Kim, who rose to fame in the 90s, commanded attention as she stepped out for New York Fashion Week.
The 51-year-old rapper was clad in a skintight blue bodysuit on Tuesday as she headed to the LaQuan Smith SS 2026 fashion show.
She teamed the long-sleeved, body-hugging, high-neck number with pointy-toe black heels that added height to her 4’11” frame.
Kim, known for collaborations with Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott, wore onyx sunglasses and a long, platinum blonde wig to the event.
Inside the runway show, she took a seat next to Ty Dolla $ign and near Busta Rhymes and his son Trillian Wood-Smith.
The New York native — born Kimberly Denise Jones — was fully made up with distinctive pink blush and coordinating lipstick.

On Thursday the star, whose nickname is Queen Bee, watched her 11-year-old daughter Royalty Reign walk the Rookie Kids runway.
She was joined by Ice-T and his wife Coco Austin, who were there to support their nine-year-old daughter Chanel.
To mark the milestone, Lil’ Kim took to Instagram to share footage of the pre-teen participating in the event one year earlier.
The video clip was captioned, ‘My baby girl @royalreignjones is back on the runway for @rookiekids back to school fashion show today hosted by @ciara at nyfw!’
The gushing mom added, ‘I’m so proud of my royal!!! I can’t wait for u guys to see her this year!!’
‘I’m happy being a part of it,’ she said in a red carpet interview from the 2024 show.
‘This is like my big day,’ she added while giggling as she wrapped an arm around her daughter.
In 2019 the hitmaker spoke to Access Hollywood about parenthood, telling the outlet: ‘I’m still the same person, but you have to be different. When you are a mom, you have to do things differently, whether you want to admit it or not.’

And at the time, she said Royalty was beginning to understand her job as an entertainer.
‘I think she’s starting to really know now, so that’s kind of cool for me,’ she said about her little girl, whom she shares with rapper Mr. Papers.
In a 2021 Instagram post celebrating the youngster’s seventh birthday, she wrote, ‘My baby is growing up to be so beautiful. She’s so smart and full of sass.’
Lil’ Kim has been touring alongside Keyshia Cole this summer, and pinned a tour poster to her Instagram profile in May.
She teased in the caption, ‘gametime❗️me + @keyshiacole = outside all summer.’
