Nicki Minaj is an exhibitionist in all aspects, but never more than when she's on the red carpet. Since her early days of fame, we've seen her style evolve from video vixen chic to one of the most enjoyably cartoonish looks around. Now, with her newest album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded in stores, Nicki is pushing the fashion envelope more than ever.
This year alone, we've seen her rock a nun costume with the "Pope" as her accessory and she hypnotized us with daring outfits on our own 10th anniversary issue cover. At this point, we're convinced she'll wear anything, which is why we decided to come up with a few options that she might fancy. These are our suggestions for the 5 Crazy Outfits Nicki Minaj Should Wear complete with a mock-up of how they could be executed.
Dungeon Dragon
Dungeon Dragon
After seeing Nicki dress up like a cheetah at the 2011 Grammys, picturing her in dragon-wear isn't that much of a stretch. Plus, if her rapping about "startin' to feel like a dungeon dragon" on "Roman's Revenge" is any indication, her full-on transformation into the mythical creature is already impending.
Garden Hoe
Garden Hoe
So, this get-up, inspired by her single "Stupid Hoe," is a bit literal, but for an artist who showed up to the 2012 Grammys with a Pope impersonator, we don't think subtlety is her shtick anyway.
Roman Warrior
Roman Warrior
With all her talk about alter-ego Roman Zolanski and the fact that her latest album is called Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, her fans deserve the chance to see exactly whom she's always referring to. Of course, Nicki's idea of Roman might not look like a Roman warrior, but the character's loud, angry persona in her songs makes it easy for us to picture him screaming, "I am Spartacus!"
Bass Speakers
Bass Speakers
Nicki wore an outfit to the 2011 MTV VMAs that looked like it was made by rolling around in a toy chest covered in glue. In comparison, this ode to "Super Bass" is a tame request.
Translucent Skin
Translucent Skin
Nicki Minaj is known to put herself out there, and what's more revealing than translucent clothing? It matches the "Right Thru Me" title, too. We could see her dropping major bank for a top-secret surgery and proceeding to shut down her next red carpet appearance with an authentic all-organs everything look.
