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. No head-to-toe metallic gold, no dark roots and weird lip colors, and no matchy-matchy color coordination. Just a straight up nice design with a dash of good styling.
Nicki Minaj used the dress to kick off her K-Mart Collection Event at the Fig & Olive restaurant in West Hollywood, CA last Friday. Worn with blunt blond bangs, nude-tone makeup, clear nail polish, and leopard-printed Christian Louboutin ‘Bianca’ pumps, the entire look was a far cry 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.
