Last night, Missy Elliott became the first female rapper to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. (Finally!) Lizzo was there to support Elliott and performed an incredible tribute to the iconic rapper.

She wore a black-and-teal satin dress with super blinged-out hoops, styled by Marko Monroe. Lizzo’s ’90s-style makeup featured bright red lips, heavy blush and pink-and-black exaggerated cat eyes thanks to makeup artist Alexx Mayo.

Swain shared a shot of her wig creation on Instagram with the caption: “Tonight was a dream come true All my iconic in [a] room ! @lizzobeeating you killed your tribute to @missymisdemeanorelliott! Lizzo thank you for letting me pay homage to Missy?s iconic fingerwave.” Source: Instagram
Elliott posted a sweet thank you to Lizzo and Da Brat on Twitter, as well as to Queen Latifah (a Grammy, Emmy and Golden Globe winner!) who gave a beautiful speech about their friendship.
