Nicki Minaj continues her fashionable rounds, hitting up an assortment of shows. Yesterday she sat next to industry heavyweights Stefano Tonchi and Anna Wintour in a confectionary outfit seemingly inspired by gumballs:
The beehive blond hair was there, of course, along with an orange knife pleat mini skirt, neon green leggings, and wedged red shoes.
I wonder what Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour thought of Nicki’s ensemble? While we contemplate…what do you think?
What could they be discussing? Hmm…
*Random: Meenal Mistry on Style.com called Minaj’s presence ‘muppet like.’ Youch. Read the rest of the show review here.

Ughhh! This outfit was just disrespectful. Carolina Herrera is the queen of class, Nikki could have been a bit more tasteful. It would have been different if the outfit made sense but it doesn’t. It has no styling technique what so ever. She woke up and said make me look like a clown smh. I can’t…..

It’s a shame that she has chosen this as her signature way of dressing. Im anxious to see if and when she breaks out of “Barbie” mode.

::SIGHS::ughh nicki I understand she wants to stick to her harajuku barbie get up…thats her aesthetic. okay fine…but this is a mess.. its like she’s getting worse..SMH… ::waves wand:: keep the top keep the hair pair it with some uber chic black pants.. and off- the-wall shoes… wa-lah! Thats the nicki I’m used too
September 13, 2011 10:05 am
LOL at the first pic, Ann W, is thinking who did I piss off this time to deserve to sit next to this clown…
September 13, 2011 10:05 am
and is that safaree aka bf/hype-man right behind her looking he just came from the basketball court??!!! #zeeeeaadddddd
September 13, 2011 10:09 am
I am done! Now she’s just wrong. Like it or not she is a black woman in the fashion world and she chooses to look like a buffoon? Thanks Nikki..much appreciated. Over her. She’s at a point where her awful choices in wardrobe are going to overshadow her talent.
September 13, 2011 10:20 am
You can have fun with your fashion choices without looking like an idiot.
bye girl fly girl
September 13, 2011 10:28 am
Good idea, poorly executed. This would have worked had it not looked like a 3rd grader put it together, it looks very cheap.
September 13, 2011 10:55 am
Nicki will always be a Hmm..
September 13, 2011 11:10 am
YALL KNOW ANNA IS LAUGHING AT HER
September 13, 2011 11:16 am
She looks like a buffoon…Nothing new.
September 13, 2011 11:18 am
I truly don’t believe she dresses herself! Proof positive that your stylist and your producer shouldn’t always dress you according to your stage image. There’s a time and a place for everything. She’s so lovely that no matter what she wears she will be noticed and photographed – there is no need for the 24/7 theatrics
September 13, 2011 11:25 am
she just think she looks like a clown
September 13, 2011 11:32 am
Ya know what? I bet she does this because she knows she has no fashion sense. ‘Cause before all this her fashion choice was that of a Lil Wayne sidehoe. She probably has no idea how to dress so she does this to distract. Such a shame. Girl just get a stylist
September 13, 2011 11:58 am
too damn old to be walking around looking like a fake behind harajuku confused mess.
September 13, 2011 12:07 pm
Poor Anna Wintour, whomever sat her next to Nicki should be fired!
September 13, 2011 12:42 pm
Hmmm…nothing short of pure fu*kery.
September 13, 2011 12:55 pm
I wish Nicki would tone it down…she’s a lovely gal but this is HMMMM HMMM HMMMM NO !
September 13, 2011 1:14 pm
Style does not mean everyone will like it, but you can understand where the person is taking it and the feel that they are trying to give off. I dont pick up anything from Niki’s style. Its ALOT. Lady GaGa is over the top, but I understand what she is going for and it fits her personality.
September 13, 2011 2:02 pm
this is ugly AF….thatisall
September 13, 2011 3:26 pm
Maybe its us. We don’t get it. That’s it! *scratches head*
September 13, 2011 3:28 pm
By the way she was Anna Wintour’s guest. You don’t accidentally get seated front row right next to the boss.
September 13, 2011 3:35 pm
Though I’m sure the venue was properly ventilated, I still get the feeling she was sweating something serious under all that mess.
September 13, 2011 4:03 pm
Did it really need to be asked? Hmmm as usually. She’s always a HAM!
September 13, 2011 4:58 pm
Nicki is comitted to the Harajuku Barbie schtick. She’s getting that paper though so… go ‘head, Nicki! :)
September 13, 2011 5:26 pm
She needs to STOP. Come out of character for ONCE. Sheesh! I can’t take her seriously.
September 13, 2011 6:00 pm
Looks like art and craft in kindergarten. .
September 13, 2011 6:06 pm
what @Dominique said! Cosigned!
September 13, 2011 6:11 pm
I wonder if she knew where she was going. I agree with hey me. Too old for this.
September 13, 2011 6:29 pm
No one complains this much when Gaga shows up in her outrageous outfits. For branding, it’s important that artists project the same image all the time. I think it’s outstanding that a female in rap isn’t projecting herself as purely a sex object (which she used to do under Gucci Mane’s guidance). Sure, by all mainstream/Western style standards, this outfit is a ‘hmm…’ but it’s a costume that actually proves Nicki’s commitment to her mantra of ‘being whoever you want to be, wherever you want to’. The outfit isn’t my thing, but the philosophy behind it surely is and for that reason, I think Nicki looks great.
September 13, 2011 6:45 pm
HONESTLY,
I am NOT feeling NICKI. I mean, come on. This is just TACKY. I agree with Sylvie. She’s getting worse. I don’t like her barbie theme. It’s immature and obnoxious. I mean, I don’t remeber Lil’ Kim tirading herself to this extreme. Are you female MC, or CARTOON Character. Seriously? Enough with the play clothes… It’s not cute.
September 13, 2011 8:42 pm
It’s the individuals who are willing to be themselves to the fullest that are able to bypass the “average”. I do not like everything I see Nicki in, but it takes courage to be able to do different variations on what you like, and still be considered relevant. As there are few female MCs in the game getting as much recognition, ( and I”m sure there are many who should) I applaud Nicki for being Nicki all the time, not some, not half, not most, ALL. What that evolves into from here on out, I am anxious and excited to see. If Coko from SWV got everybody wearing extra-long nails, then I say Nicki should be able to deal with and represent HER fanbase as she pleases, not just do what everyone else is too scared to do or ha too much “class” to do. She might be a very classy individual, but since I’ve never sat down with her and had a long conversation, I’m not one to cast the first stone or call the kettle black.
September 13, 2011 10:34 pm
She looks like a complete and utter jackass. Often when people lack style, they often go either the “I don’t care route” or “Look at how different I am!”
September 13, 2011 11:03 pm
Lighten up guys, it’s just fashion.
September 14, 2011 10:04 am
this is not fashion, this not her being herself…this is her wanting attention and she looks foolish.
September 14, 2011 5:17 pm
Nicki looks crazy!..smh. I know she’s trying to be different and animated, but I’ve seen Harajuku style before and they are at least more coordinated than this. She looks like she’s trying too hard and that she just wants to find everything in her closet and throw it all on at once. To wear this at Carolina Herrera’s fashion show is absurd. Betsy Johnson…yes. I’m feel sorry for the models, I’m shocked none of them got distracted and fell off the runway. Outta control.
September 18, 2011 6:06 pm
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Nicki minaj is so beautiful but does stuff like this and it takes away from her beauty . Some nude colors would have suited her alot better for the event , smh .
