Nicki Minaj is widely recognized for her extravagant costumes and enormous hairpieces that she sports both on and off the stage. However, during a recent photoshoot for GQ Magazine, she decided to go for a more understated look. Nevertheless, she couldn’t resist flaunting her impressive cleavage in a white top that resembled a breastplate with two cones over her breasts and a buckle at the back. Watch the video below for more.
Nicki Minaj flaunted a more natural look for her recent fashion shoot with GQ magazine. In the photos, the rapper sported a denim jacket, which she paired with a blue pencil skirt and two adorable standard poodles – one dyed to match her skirt. Another shot showed her standing next to a wooden rocking horse, wearing the same jacket matched with a bright red pencil skirt that complemented the cityscape in the background. Unlike her usual multi-colored wigs, Nicki opted for black hair extensions, keeping her make-up minimal with emphasis on her eyes using false lashes, liner, and mascara.
The 31-year-old artist, set to release her Pinkprint album this month, has revealed her plan to return to a more natural look for her third album. In a recent interview with GQ, she stated that she always intended to shock the world again by toning down her hair and makeup. According to Nicki, this would be more surprising than continuing with the same style. While her music video for the hit single Anaconda features provocative jungle-themed scenes, she denies any hidden messages behind its imagery.
Nicki Minaj sported a Barbie-inspired look during the launch of her Pink Friday fragrance at Macy’s in New York back in 2012. In an interview with GQ, she explained that the music video for her hit song “Anaconda” is all about what girls do, particularly how they love spending time together and dancing during sleepovers. The video showcases Minaj and four women with impressive backsides twerking while wearing revealing clothing. The singer clarified that her character in the video is simply narrating her experiences with two men she dated in the past, describing what they were good at, what they bought her, and what they said to her in a humorous manner. However, she also acknowledged that the video is about control, emphasizing the importance of retaining power and control even when being flirty and funny.
