All of Nicki Minaj’s most iconic red carpet looks
Nicki Minaj takes the stage, the New York-reared diva wows not only with her talent, but with her royally outrageous wardrobe, too. And as a mistress of ceremonies at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards Sunday — a gig the voluminous voluptuary will anchor alongside fellow rappers LL Cool J, 54, and Jack Harlow, 24 — Minaj, 39, is sure to steal the show, riding high on a carousel of haute couture. No stranger to pushing fashion beyond its limits with unabashed (and sometimes controversial) looks, the “Super Freaky Girl” chart-slayer, who will also be honored with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the VMAs, boasts over a decade of daring outfits. From the infamous Versace “Pope” cape Minaj donned on the red carpet at the 2012 Grammys or the bosom-boosting Burberry ensemble she wore to the 2022 Met Gala in May, her style continues to keep fashionistas on their toes. Here’s a look back at Nicki’s gripping glam evolution. Making her VMAs debut in 2010, the then pink-haired harmonizer stunned in a champagne-colored trouser and top set. The “Super Bass” bombshell, who performed with Will.i.am at the fete’s pre-show and presented an award alongside Katy Perry, completed her look with a pair of platform Versace pumps and a black bib necklace. Cranking up the heat with her cool-girl swag, Minaj turned heads at the 2011 VMAs by wearing a metallic purple mini dress atop a lacy pink tutu, star-printed tights and thigh-high socks covered in colorful anime cartoons.
