Luckily for everyone, she thrives under pressure.
on Instagram on Monday, it was no surprise that she delivered the news in high style. While she captioned her first photo with "#Preggers," her belly and custom bra did most of the talking. Minaj's stylist Aquiles Carmona reached out toon July 11 for the big reveal, requesting a tight turnaround to make the detailed brassiere. Luckily for everyone, the designer thrives under pressure, and she was able to turn it out in under 48 hours.
While Dalimonte is based in Los Angeles, she was actually in her hometown in Michigan when she got word that she had been tapped to create the bra. Fortunately, she was able to gather baby trinkets, candy, and Swarovski crystals to bring Minaj's vision to life. It all worked out in everyone's favor; Minaj's Instagram post currently has over 10 million likes.
I had a strong visual in my head of how I saw it coming together, so I knew it was going to take some time to get it just right. I drilled holes into baby bottles and candy to wire them down to the bra, then cut candy in half with a hot knife and used sanding paper to make some of them flatter. I work very meticulously and wanted to ensure that nothing I put on the bra was going anywhere.
After getting some of the bigger pieces on the bra, I continued to add Swarovski crystals everywhere and filled every inch of the bra until I couldn't see what the original material was. I even included some pieces of jewelry from my childhood as a special touch. I finally finished the bra at 5 am on Wednesday morning because I didn't want to rush my process and really enjoyed taking my time placing each piece exactly where it needed to go.
