Promo for the latest season of American Idol is in full swing, and Nicki Minaj is front row and center. She was spotted at the TCA Fox All-Star Party in a curve-hugging black lace cut-out back dress and her favorite pair of $1,395 Christian Louboutin Zoulou Leather Platform Sandals.

Recreate Nicki’s look for less below.
No “wow” factor here, but it is one of the better looks I’ve seen from Nicki in a while.
What do you think?

Wow…she finally looks like a decent grown woman….Go Nicki!
January 9, 2013 9:19 am
yes…i love the toned down look on Nicki! And you can never go wrong with a black lace dress…though I might have worn a simpler shoe with it.

Cute dress, minus the chain and shoes. the cuff and watch together- no… im just nitpicking. she looks good.
January 9, 2013 11:20 am
Actually, this is a “wow” look! She looks very nice toned down. A smile can also be a great accessory….

Wow! Nicki looks amazing. Really good here. The black hair suits her, loving the lace dress and shoes. But she looks a bit glum in the photos.
January 9, 2013 11:47 am
I knew people would like this because she looks normal…
January 9, 2013 11:49 am
Wow Nikki looking normal , what’s up with that ?
January 9, 2013 11:51 am
love the outfit especially the shoes
January 9, 2013 11:53 am
Holy crap, she looks good. Maybe she made a new year’s resolution to stop looking like a fool!!! Woot!!!!

Dare I state that Nicki Minaj looks very pretty.
January 9, 2013 12:15 pm
Yeesss, it is such a pleasant surprise to see Nicki looking nice & clean.
January 9, 2013 12:38 pm
much better; love all black jus need a classy shoe n maybe close the back
January 9, 2013 1:01 pm
Beautiful!

Yes she looks great, and you know what, her butt has been looking less ridiculous too. I think she used to wear butt pads on top of having her butt done. Now it looks nice. Still obviously done, but not crazy looking

Wow. The dress and shoes are alright. I wish she had smiled and I honestly don’t love “normal” looking Nicki. It’s her signature, her personality. She doesn’t even look happy in her outfit. Madonna has her kitsch, so does Gaga and I feel like Nicki can have that too. I’m not a huge fan of the other version of her but at least she looks happy when she’s dressed that way.
January 9, 2013 2:34 pm
Meh! I love my Nicki wild! This is nice but too plain for her.
January 9, 2013 3:26 pm
The dress looks cheap. She looks great though! I pray that one day she get rid of the bangs.
January 9, 2013 4:13 pm
Something is “off” about her, She doesnt seem happy.. Im guessing everyone likes her outfit, but she dont. And thats no way to live ;(
January 10, 2013 12:47 am
I like when she dresses normal. Go head Nicki!
January 10, 2013 3:59 am
Nicki looks miserable. All the time
January 10, 2013 9:12 am
shes ugly
January 11, 2013 1:55 am
