Catching the camera’s attention with a golden blond bombshell wig singer, performer, and the normally crazy dressed Nicki Minaj tames it down (well, her version of tame) for Glamour magazine. In this “Darling Nicki” spread, Minaj shows off her fierceness (sans any food necklaces) with pieces she loves including booties, bold accessories, and the color red. The diva stays pretty serious in crimson and most of her shots, but she does throw her hands up in a thick striped orange and blue dress. Anyone else notice the comic book on the couch? Nice touch set designer, Jamie Dean. It was up to photographer Frederike Helwig to capture the rapper’s silly and serious sides.

What’s really funny is that you’d never guess Minaj had a spread dedicated to her in the October 2011 issue of Glamour. The magazine pulled A-listers Demi Moore, Alicia Keys, and Jennifer Aniston for the cover shot. No mention of Minaj…but that’s her! She’s always there to surprise you, with some wild outfit or, in this case, a bleach blond bob.

You can see more of Minaj, her bob, and  the rest of this editorial on MyFDB.
