Nicki Minaj’s Ever-Changing Beauty Look: Our 10 Favorite Moments

 

She once stated her beauty mantra as: “Color, color, color. When in doubt, add color. Then, add some more.” As a star who is fearlessly larger-than-life both musically and sartorially, this is not only the perfect summary of Nicki Minaj’s famously surreal wigs and unabashed love of out-there style, but her bedazzled rise to fame as a whole.

Between the award shows, platinum albums, and multiple alter egos, (Roman, Rosa, and the English-accented Martha, to name a few) the cover star has forged a public image that’s instantly recognizable worldwide. As her ever-evolving look continues to shock and inspire us, we’ve rounded up the best beauty moments from her technicolor career. Click through for a visual tour of her greatest hits, and tell us which look you love the most.

    The American Music Awards, November 2011

    We’re not sure if Oscar de la Renta envisioned cotton candy ringlets when he sent Nicki’s green and black dress down his Spring runway, but the singer truly made this look her own with a cropped coif and toned-down (by Nicki’s standards, anyway) makeup.

    Blonde bangs, mounds of green curls, and a bejeweled palm leaf headpiece: Here, it’s all about the hair. Her tropical inspiration was a natural fit for the fast fashion brand’s white-hot designer collaboration.
