nicki minaj in vogue

Nicki Minaj finds fashion inspiration from Avatar in the latest issue of Vogue magazine. In the coinciding interview, the hip-hop princess talks about her fashion influences and how she went from drag to fab.

“I was dressing in Tommy Hilfiger baggy shirts and Boss jeans, but then I met a person who dressed like a tiny lady—pantsuits, heels, lots of makeup,” Minaj said. “I thought she was larger than life. She once did my makeup—I had never seen myself made up before. I didn’t want to wash it off; I felt like I had one day to live this fantasy of being a glamor girl.”

The rapper also admits to spending $50,000 in one month on designer shoes and handbags alone.

“Giuseppe, Versace, YSL, and Fendi shoes. And I bought tons of Vuitton bags. When you’re a young girl from Queens, you’re going to stock up on those bags.”
