Nicki Minaj showed off her edgy side in her latest look.
The “Beam Me Up Scotty” musician struck a pose for a series of Instagram photos, wearing a black latex jumpsuit. The look was utterly sleek, thanks to a wide Savage x Fenty corset belt with a front zipper. Minaj paired the edgy outfit with her signature bling, including numerous sparkly rings, anklets, hoop earrings, bracelets and necklaces. One notable necklace featured nameplate reading “Chun-Li,” after the “Capcom’s Street Fighter” video game character and Minaj’s 2018 song of the same name.
When it came to shoes, Minaj created a monochrome effect by slipping into Versace patent leather pumps. Her black pair featured sharp toes and stiletto heels that appeared to total at least 4 inches in height. The shoes’ glossy shine, gold safety pin detail and color perfectly matched her ensemble, creating a fully daring look.
Pointed-toe pumps have returned to our regular shoe rotations as in-person events and a desire to dress up have come back this summer. Their sharp toes and thin heels often make for a slick finish to any outfit. Minaj is the latest to wear the pumps; stars like Mindy Kaling, Lady Gaga and Rita Ora have all worn similar styles by Christian Louboutin, Giuseppe Zanotti and Jimmy Choo in recent weeks. Minaj is no stranger to a daring shoe, having recently worn a pair of metallic and crystal-covered strappy sandals at home.
