Nicki Minaj has been clinging to color lately, appearing at a recent MAC Viva Glam event in a striped Spring 2012 jacket and dress by Nanette Lepore:
She accessorized the striped look with a Chanel bag and a $1,150 pair Giuseppe Zanotti colorblock sandals.
Her button down dress and jacket both appeared separately on Nanette’s neon infused Spring 2012 runway:
Her two toned sandals have a 6 inch heel and feature a swirling of suede straps which overlap and weave together, shaping geometric cutouts.
Nicki keeps it fun, and I personally think this look suits her to a tee. It’s cool to see her mixing high and low, and even dabbling in a full on runway look.
What do you think?
Get a similar look with these splurge worthy items:

fashion FAIL. prime example of doing too much in my opinion (typical nikki minaj tho).. butttt…i love the shoes :)
February 16, 2012 2:32 pm
I wish she had left the last few buttons on the dress open like the runway b/c they are screaming for life on her!
February 16, 2012 2:32 pm
Cute! I like her look.
February 16, 2012 2:35 pm
A mess….as usual. ugh
February 16, 2012 2:40 pm
@ aLadynamedB : too tru, but u kno she dont have the build to be able to do that, thighs n cooch be all over the place in minutes!
February 16, 2012 2:46 pm
Bitch talking she the queen when she looking like a Lab Rat (Nicki)
February 16, 2012 2:53 pm
classic nicki DOING THE MOST , but i kinda love this and like i said yesterday. take that damn wig off
February 16, 2012 2:56 pm
Love the look. Pink and royal blue pops!
February 16, 2012 2:58 pm
I think the 2nd runway look would have worked better for her
February 16, 2012 3:00 pm
Loves this look! She is doing too much for all the right reasons. Roman’s wig must die though!
February 16, 2012 3:10 pm
LOL @ Roman’s Wig!! But here is Ms. Minaj looking a draggy hot ass mess, trying to pull it of as quirky..like the joke is over, ur establihed, ur talented. Get urself together.
February 16, 2012 3:22 pm
Too much going on. It’s time for Nicki to grow up.
February 16, 2012 3:24 pm
Those wigs Nicki wear sometimes make a cute outfit look completely déclassé. I want to like what she wears but it goes left when I look up.
February 16, 2012 3:25 pm
That wig needs an exorcism…..death to lace fronts! She looks cute tho…(is her nose gett’n bigger???)
February 16, 2012 3:40 pm
Looooove this look , Hot!
February 16, 2012 3:55 pm
On Nicki i say hmmmmmmm, but on the models its HOT!!!
February 16, 2012 4:04 pm
This is what happens when good clothes meet the wrong person…she made this outfit look awful…and you have glu on your fivehead…gurl stop!
February 16, 2012 4:15 pm
a cute solid colered blazer would’ve been preferred. but the shoes r HOTTTT
February 16, 2012 4:25 pm
She has some cute pieces but typically a fail at putting them together.
February 16, 2012 4:26 pm
if a certain person had did this ya’ll would’ve been praising her. I’m not usually a fan of Nicki’s fashion choices but this looks good compared to others.
February 16, 2012 4:41 pm
DO I SPY HER THIGHS THRU THE SIDE VIEW OF THIS ENSEMBLE?! SHE’S TOO SHORT 4 THIS LOOK STRAIGHT OFF THE RUNWAY. WHERE WAS HER TAILOR??!! LOVING THE SHOES & BAG STILL……Whoop!
February 16, 2012 4:44 pm
I won’t even address what’s happening above the neck, but I do like the rest. I would have preferred that she break up the look like on the runway. Either the dress alone or with a solid colored jacket or sweater and the jacket with a solid dress or whatever.
February 16, 2012 4:56 pm
I like all of the pieces she’s wearing…just not all together. It’s quite busy. The jacket and dress are really cute but together, it’s just too much going on. Maybe a solid colored jacket would have been better? Or, if the stripes on the jacket and dress were different, like in the picture with the second model, that probably would have been better. And I prefer Nicki with bangs. These lacefronts she’s been rocking lately are sitting on her eyebrows and I just can’t deal. Whoever is doing her hair is doing her a disservice and needs to be fired.
February 16, 2012 5:04 pm
I love the dress but I would have never put the cardigan with it. she looks matronly
February 16, 2012 5:26 pm
How do you take a runway look and make it look a mess…Let Nikki Minaj wear it. I can’t with her. Lady Gaga called she wants her style back, stop swagger jacking. This is just a hmmmm all the way.
February 16, 2012 5:35 pm
Surprisingly I like this look except for that wig
February 16, 2012 5:54 pm
She looks ridiculous. From the wig on down..this girl is a mess.
February 16, 2012 5:57 pm
Hot! This is how to do “Barbie” if you’re going to.
February 16, 2012 5:59 pm
she forgot to contour her nose.. dish the jacket … too much going on/
February 16, 2012 6:23 pm
This would be cute if she didn’t pile on everything. I like the way it was shown worn on the runway. Oh and I have to agree with everyone—the hair MUST go!
February 16, 2012 7:15 pm
Not it….
February 16, 2012 7:31 pm
she actually looks cute….for nicki minaj. This is considered toned down for her and its definitely better then the full fledged antics she usually pulls with her wordrobe….. and the shoes are FIYAH!!
February 16, 2012 7:32 pm
I don’t like the wig. I like the outfit.
February 16, 2012 7:40 pm
I like the outfit. It is a nice change for her.
February 16, 2012 8:32 pm
i luv everything except her hair!!!!
February 16, 2012 11:11 pm
No ma’am! Her curves don’t work at all with this look. It looks matronly on her and those poor buttons are holding on for dear life! In this case, more skin would do her some good. It worked so much better on the runway with the last few buttons undone. I’m sorry Nikki… once again, you get an F.
February 16, 2012 11:28 pm
I would have loved to see the shoes and the dress together but she made it look a hot mess with that wig and jacket!!
February 17, 2012 12:21 am
I think the jacket is too much. A white blazer would have been nice. I hate that monstrosity on her head though
February 17, 2012 2:34 am
not too bad compared to her usual get ups
February 17, 2012 5:01 am
she looks cute, love this look on her!!
February 17, 2012 8:31 am
Nicki been losing lately i swear!
February 17, 2012 9:00 am
This outfit is giving me a headace this early in the morning.
February 17, 2012 9:25 am
UGH!!! I’ve been sick of that atrocious lace front since the grammys!!! I’ve loved her fashion picks this week!! but come on!! that wig???!! FAIL!
February 17, 2012 11:02 am
When will this chick stop with the tacky weaves? She’s a beautiful woman but she always looks a hot steamy mess. The shoes are nice. Someone with good fashion sense would make them look better.
February 17, 2012 3:52 pm
Love the jacket and the shoes….It was over done with the dress, but someone who didn’t look crazy from the neck up could pull it off. The hair and makeup just take away from a beautiful outfit.
February 17, 2012 6:11 pm
hate her look.love her shoes
February 17, 2012 7:50 pm
This is a cute look, I can’t get over that baby blue Chanel bag I love it!!! I love the colors in this outfit, I would have wore the dress without the matching jacket & would have pair it with a solid color jacket. But still think this is a cute look & that Chanel bag I wish that I could afford it :(
February 18, 2012 10:06 pm
A mess, as usual. But, what’s new?
February 19, 2012 3:00 pm
She looks like a barbie has anyone she looked kinda different does she got botox or something??? but i luv her wig it look real
February 20, 2012 12:50 am
but that lace front though???
April 27, 2012 12:58 am
