Okay, so maybe there isn’t anything special about Nicki Minaj “showing off her sexy shape” in this dress of hers we’re featuring today because Nicki is more often than not in body-con dresses.

The thing that makes this dress different is that it’s fabulous and sexy in an understated way.
There is no head-to-toe metallic gold, dark roots and weird lip colors, or matchy-matchy color coordination—just a straight-up nice design with a dash of good styling.
Last Friday, Nicki Minaj used the dress to kick off her K-Mart Collection Event at the Fig & Olive restaurant in West Hollywood, CA.
Worn with blunt blond bangs, nude-tone makeup, clear nail polish, and leopard-printed Christian Louboutin ‘Bianca’ pumps, the entire look was far from her typical look-at-me style.

The leopard print pumps suddenly look garish compared to the rest of the muted tones, but maybe Nicki Minaj just had to have one wild thing in this outfit.
