Nicki Minaj hit the red carpet at the "2010 American Music Awards" last night looking like the hip-hop Lady Gaga in a dress that we would describe as part pipe cleaner exoskeleton, part Egyptian wrapping paper. And is that the golden scarab from "Aladdin" I see?
MTV bumped into Nicki Minaj last night and asked the "Right Thru Me" singer to describe her dress: "It looks like it could be a piece on the middle of your table and you picked it up, put some clothing on it, and now you can wear it. It's all about feeling like, 'Grrr.'" Hmm. We're not really sure how this dress makes you feel like "Grrr," but Nicki went on to say that the Manish Arora-designed dress is "the epitome of Pink Friday" (her long-awaited debut album that dropped today). A little schizo, hard to understand, yet somehow still awesome? Sounds about right.
Nicki Minaj topped off her award show look with one of her famous wigs: a blond Barbie style with dip-dyed green ends. But Nicki went easy on the makeup and left the jewelry at home -- let's not overdo it, people.
