A PUFF OF PURPLE ON THE RED CARPET

Kim showed up in a little black dress covered with volumes of purple fur that cascaded from one of her bare shoulders and created a train that trailed behind her.

The daring bustier number was short enough to reveal her legs wrapped in lace extending from her black strappy heels all the way up to her knees. She completed the look with a poof of purple fur on the bun on her head and dangling silver earrings.

“Lil Kim used to be so so pretty. Now she looks like Jigsaw. So sad.”

This is the first time Kim set foot in the awards ceremony since 2013. Her attendance may be in support of her friend, Missy Elliott who was this year’s recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

A WAVE OF NEGATIVITY PERTAINING TO HER FACE

And while many took notice of Kim’s surprise appearance and her bold outfit, she didn’t escape the negative reactions, particularly about her face.
