Nicki Minaj is still heavy on the promo trail for the upcoming season of American Idol. She was seen last night at a California screening of the reality singing competition rocking yet another skin tight $1,350 Hervé Léger Colorblock Bandage Dress and $1,295 Christian Louboutin Black/White Watersnake Daf Mary Janes.

Her dress comes in the brand’s signature form-fitting silhouette and features a colorblock bandage knit.

Her shoes are fashioned out of watersnake and feature a 6″ covered heel and a 3″ platform.

I’m torn. While I’m glad she seems to have ditched her crazy get-ups (at least for the moment), I wish her looks weren’t so predictable. Baby steps I guess. But that bawdy is hot!

If you’re up for the splurge, get her dress at Nordstrom. Cop her shoes at Christian Louboutin.

What do you think?

She looks almost normal… I love that dress
January 10, 2013 10:31 am
Everything looks ok but the hair and the shoes not a go for me :/
January 10, 2013 10:33 am
Its a cute twist on what has been done over and over again…
January 10, 2013 10:37 am
Very pretty.
January 10, 2013 10:40 am
She looks good but I agree with B about the shoes and the hair ( usually don’t like Nicki’s hair most of the time). Also wanted to say if I had saw the dress based on the model wearing it, I would overlook it.

I like the dress! Looks like the remix of the color block Forever 21 dress she wore last year on GMA.
January 10, 2013 10:47 am
Fake or real Nicki has a nice shape :)
January 10, 2013 10:48 am
Naw.
January 10, 2013 10:48 am
I’m glad the Idol people made her ditch the costumes, but I’m over the reality housewife look. Please give us something else!
January 10, 2013 10:50 am
She looks good and I like the dress but I don’t like the hair
January 10, 2013 11:14 am
Congratulations to Nicki for managing to look half sane, ahem, I mean half decent for once. The dress and shoes are amazing!

I like this look but she wears way too much make up and that lace front, girl bye!
January 10, 2013 11:54 am
You can not go wrong with a Herve! sorry…Looks cute.
January 10, 2013 12:00 pm
The best I’ve seen her look in a while… I’m pleased.
January 10, 2013 12:03 pm
Blah…..I’m going to weep a little over that wig..j/k, lmao.
January 10, 2013 12:09 pm
The dress looks cheap…although it’s not! I wish she would have put on a plain black pump instead. She’s looks good though.
January 10, 2013 12:21 pm
Um where the polka dots come in at….
January 10, 2013 12:49 pm
I like the dress on her,very pretty . I agree she needs to tighten up her game on the lace fronts wigs. Sometimes the hairline is to thick, fuzzy & unnatural looking . Just because it’s weave doesn’t mean it should look like it.
January 10, 2013 12:53 pm
Haven’t seen SB behind her in a while …mostly Manny
January 10, 2013 12:55 pm
I’ve actually liked Nikki’s looks lately. I do agree the hair has to go, but I like her shoes with the dress. I see so many people wearing different prints together. I think the colorblocking in the dress w/the polka dot Lubes are cute. I wish she would just do something about that wig…
January 10, 2013 1:03 pm
I want a body like hers. I’m saving up for ass shots!
January 10, 2013 1:17 pm
Better than usual and nicely put together….
January 10, 2013 1:19 pm
She looks good!
January 10, 2013 1:35 pm
i like it! she looks like herself (colorful) but cute.
January 10, 2013 2:08 pm
I think from where she came from i.e. the crazy costumes…for her to go the “plain jane” route is a fashion statement in itself. Nicki looks beautiful and has a gorgeous figure. I agree with the baby steps comment.
January 10, 2013 2:11 pm
Nicki looking good girlfriend.
Keep it up fierce!
January 10, 2013 2:31 pm
I thought the combo Leger+Louboutin was left behind in 2011… smh
January 10, 2013 4:14 pm
Omg her black wig would’ve done a whole lotta good for this look…
January 10, 2013 4:22 pm
The past few days you’ve posted her, she’s been fully dressed in a slightly toned down way. A new stylist perhaps? An obligation from the American Idol folks? No matter, it’s more “accessible” while still hinting at her (so-called?) edge
January 10, 2013 5:37 pm
When she finally gets her hair together I give her a hot until then good but not wowed
January 10, 2013 9:01 pm
Meh. I feel like this is what we have to expect from Nicki when she’s “dressed down”.
January 11, 2013 1:30 am
This is good for her! Keep it up Onikaaa.
January 11, 2013 1:46 am
The dress looks fab on her the only thing nikky now needs to change is the makeup & hair
January 11, 2013 2:31 am
This is the first time I have every said Nicki looks nice. I like the colors.. I guess it’s “Barbie Bitch” this time. :p Very pretty.
January 11, 2013 12:02 pm
Yup
She’s got a new stylist – Richard Shoyemi (google him)
January 13, 2013 4:22 pm
Wow..I’m actually surprised as to how slimming this dress is on her.
