The rapper, who was the only female to earn a spot on Forbes' list of 2013′s highest paid hip-hop artists (she made $29 million this year!) chose to leave her cropped Moschino jacket mostly unbuttoned and go sans bra, thus exposing some serious underboob.

The rest of her all-black look included high waisted slouchy leather pants by Herve Leger, super-high Versace heels and a killer Chanel gold chain belt.
