The 2017 Billboard Music Awards were full of fashion highs – and a few lows – when they took place in the US on Sunday night.
However two of the event’s most stand-out looks came from a little closer to home – one via Dubai, in fact.
UAE-based designer Michael Cinco dressed rap star Nicki Minaj in a shimmery black mini, which the star wore while joining Drake onstage as he collected his Top Artist award.

The designer is no stranger to dressing a star or two, having worked with Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, and 2016 Miss Universe winner Pia Wurtzbach, to name just a few of his past clients.
However Cinco wasn’t the only designer from the Middle East making a splash on the Billboard red (well, pink) carpet.
