From Funny to Classy, see Nicki Minaj’s Style Evolution

hot pink dressA few months later at the 2010 American Music Awards, Nicki Minaj looked a lot happier, but a little bit crazier. She stepped out in this hot pink dress with gold details that look like bones and, of course, she dip-dyed the bottom of her blond tresses green. Overall, it seems like this is way too much wackiness for one ensemble.

Cotton candy-esque pink wig. Check. Keith Haring-inspired unitard. Check. Pink pumps. Check. Pink lipstick. Check. This whole getup outside of a radio studio in 2011 was very ’80s, doncha think?

For her first major trip to the Grammys in 2011, Nicki Minaj certainly made quite the entrance. Not only did she don a cheetah-print Givenchy dress, she wore matching gloves, tights and pumps. But it didn’t stop there: Just check out that black streak and leopard print in her hair!

Nicki Minaj looked fabulous in this light blue jumpsuit at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. But the inch-deep roots on her recently dyed pink tresses are a major no-no when it comes to red carpet style.

press conference for 2011 American Music Awards

We aren’t really sure what was happening with her look at this press conference for the 2011 American Music Awards. From the bra under her vest to the bowl cut to less-than-flattering beige pants, we wish Nicki Minaj had chosen a different look.

Not many women would consciously decide to accessorize with a palm frond. At a fashion show in 2011, the singer not only wore this unconventional hair accessory, she also donned a matching dress and leggings for the occasion.

2011 American Music Awards

As far as dressing wacky goes, this ensemble really isn’t too terrible. While at the 2011 American Music Awards, Nicki Minaj wore a standard dress — with a lace bodice and a billowy skirt. But in true Nicki fashion, the skirt was a vibrant green and her slightly curled hair was a pink hue. She’s certainly colorful …

2012 Grammys

Nicki Minaj really got into eccentric ensembles before the release of her second major album, “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.” At the 2012 Grammys, she donned a controversial red robe with black beaded detailing while being escorted down the red carpet by a Pope look-alike.

For the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, Nicki Minaj struck a fierce pose while working it in a black lace unitard and a neon yellow wig. If you look this good in a unitard, you might as well flaunt it!

American Music Awards 2012

By the end of 2012 at the American Music Awards, Nicki Minaj was starting to really tone down her look. She may have been wearing a bold color, but Nicki didn’t wear crazy makeup or rock a wild ‘do. We love this look on her!

2013 Academy Awards

A few months later at the 2013 Academy Awards viewing party, Nicki Minaj wore this tight little mini that showed off her curves. She finished her look with a polished blowout and frosty pink lip.

It may have been the Met Gala and the theme may have been “punk,” but we think Nicki Minaj looked edgy and beautiful at the same time. From the sexy blue dress to the wild curly ‘do and even the dark lip color, everything about her look was perfect.

2014 Billboard Music Awards

Va-va-voom! At the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, Nicki looked exquisite in this cutout black dress. It may have been one hot dress, but her toned-down makeup and hair made her look purely glamorous.
