Pink Friday

I didn't get a chance to watch the Grammy's tonight but I did get a chance to browse through the red carpet looks and of course, I was not surprised to see my girl, Nicki Minaj wearing a bizarre outfit! Her grammy look can be described as a Little Red Riding hood cape with the head of Medusa embroidered in the center. To make things stranger, she also was accompanied by a man dressed as a Pope! Well...at least the cape was made by Versace!
I've always been intrigued by the outrageous yet creative styles of artists like Minaj and also Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. I'm always wondering what they will be wearing and I must admit that the result is quite exciting! While many can describe their style as simple "wacky," it definitely captures their musical persona and self identity. I love that these women dress the way they want to express themselves not only through their music but also in the fashion world.
Minaj's fun and animated style can be described as an eccentric party Barbie doll with splashes of color with that little pinch of shock factor and her signature pink lips. She loves to mix bright colors, fabrics and change up her many, many hair styles (blond to blue to rainbow to Marge Simpson inspired, you name it)! This women definitely loves to color block, which is a frequent trend I noticed in all of her outfits. Minaj always looks dressed for a different themed party with that extra flair.
