Nicki Minaj is not only a platinum-selling artist, she is also a style icon. Her rap videos are characterized by exaggerated costumes and bright colors, which have earned her the nickname "Harajaku Barbie". She prefers tight-fitting, high-fashion clothes, so to dress like Nicki Minaj you need to be confident and bold in your style choices.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Choosing the Clothes
Step 1. Start with a base coat featuring brightly colored linens
Choose a pushup bra and a pair of panties that can be worn under tight clothing.
Step 2. Visit the Kmart online store
Nicki Minaj designed a line for Kmart that includes patterned leggings and T-shirt sets, sheath dresses and deconstructed denim. Minaj loves animal prints and patterns worn from head to toe.
You can buy each piece from $ 12 to $ 50, making them one of the least expensive choices
Step 3. Try H&M or Forever 21 if you want to buy elegant dresses that are similar to their designer collection
The following garments are all good choices:
- Patterned tights. The more exaggerated the better. Minaj wears dark glasses, chains, colored or animal print leggings.
- Worn effect jeans and jeans that you can wear yourself. Choose high-waisted jeans, shorts and denim jackets. Denim jackets and pants worn together are perfect.
- Choose short skirts instead of long ones. With leggings, the shorter the skirts the better.
- Choose fluorescent colors in shades of pink, green and yellow.
Step 4. Buy a sheath dress
These fitted bandeau dresses are made to hug curves and flatter the neckline. You can buy a sheath dress similar in style to the one Minaj wore at Ax Paris.
Part 2 of 3: Choosing the Accessories
Step 1. Put on trendy high-heeled shoes
Minaj usually wears 8 or 12 heels. Although she often has Giuseppe Zanotti shoes that cost more than $ 1,500, you can look for models by Fergie and Jessica Simpson. Try going to outlets to look for designer heels at discounted prices.
If you can't find pointy heels, choose wedge boots and ankle boots
Step 2. Use a bright colored handbag
Choose a leather one, with metallic studs and bright colors. Accessories and golden chains are also good.
Step 3. Put on a hat
As part of her collection for Kmart, Minaj created military-style hats adorned with gold chains and studs. Find a hat at a cheap store and decorate it yourself.
Step 4. Choose chains, pendants, bracelets and drop earrings
Accessories in the style of the 80s, in enamel and gold, are perfect. Don't be afraid to wear them all together.
Step 5. Buy a cuff
It can be gold, studded leather or in fancy colors.
Part 3 of 3: Hair and Makeup
Step 1. Bleach your hair
Minaj has been wearing them long, short-cropped and medium-length blondes for many years. It allows you to more easily dye your hair with bright colors.
Step 2. Dye your hair bright colors
If you have blonde hair, long or short, consider dyeing it pink, green, or several fluorescent colors together. Semi-permanent dyes would allow you to change color often, just like Nicki Minaj does.
Step 3. Get your bangs
The cut must be straight, with the corners at 90 ° to the bangs. If it doesn't suit you, buy a short, colorful wig to create a more compelling look.
- If you don't want a wig, wear long, parted hair.
- Keep them smooth most of the time. Although she occasionally wore her hair wavy, she normally has it very straight.
Step 4. Wear your hair with pigtails
You can achieve a Harajaku schoolgirl style this way.
Step 5. Buy some false eyelashes
You can find them in stores like Sephora or Douglas.
Step 6. Get a cat eye makeup
Use liquid black eyeliner. Start on the inside of the upper lid and draw a line extending out of the eye.
Step 7. Color your lids with bright blue, teal or green eyeshadow
Step 8. Choose a pink eyeshadow and lipstick
If you wear Minaj clothing during the day, you can also choose a nude one.
