"Freaky Girl"

FRIDAY MUSE
Recommendation: Monica, TREND Staff Writer

Nicki Minaj was recently on the cover of V Magazine for the Spring 2011 issue and she definitely showed off her eccentric and daring style. The photoshoot features Nicki in a variety of unique, statement clothing which presents her fierce nature. She wears colorful, tribal-esque body paint while dressed in a brightly printed Versace dress that hugs her bodacious curves (top). She also rocks the Azzedine Alaïa booties with an Emilio Pucci bodysuit while donning her signature pink lipstick (bottom).

Nicki has always been known for her fearless attitude and powerful persona as a woman. She is all about individualizing herself and does not let anyone create her or dress her for the matter. Also, according to her Twitter, Nicki stated "It's safe to say my cover shoot in V Magazine is dedicated to my gays and fashionistas. My most bad ass shoot to date."

She says that great fashion sense should always be "cooky or weird". She emphasizes that one should not be normal when it comes to fashion in order to be seen as a strong and independent individual.

Nicki's fan base adored the photo shoot and loved the edginess of the character she portrayed in the photographs. While there were mixed reviews about the body paint being a bit controversial, it's safe to say that Nicki knows how to stir things up and go crazy with her sense of style!
