Nicki Minaj wears nude La Perla, parties in Las Vegas: improving or backsliding?

wenn21393722

Here are some new photos of Nicki Minaj at the Memorial Day celebration at LIQUID in Las Vegas. Her dress is La Perla (or is it a slip?) and Nicki gave a shout-out to Cavalli for the shoes on her Instagram too. Nicki has stepped out a lot over the past few months rocking a completely fabulous “makeunder.” Gone are the crazy neon wigs, the Gaga-esque costumes and the mountain of makeup. Nicki has made an effort to wear “her real hair” (with some extensions) and without the clown makeup, we can finally see that she’s a beautiful woman. Which isn’t to say there haven’t been some growing pains. Take a look at these photos for evidence.

It’s not that Nicki looks bad or that we should discourage her journey to look worlds better. It’s just that (I think) Nicki still doesn’t know how to dress her figure in flattering clothes that fit her body. She’s so used to crazy costumes and hiding behind wigs, she looks sort of uncomfortable when she’s just wearing a too-tight dress at what I’m assuming is a paid appearance in Vegas. First of all, that nude color is wrong on her. Second of all… the fit on that dress!!! YIKES. My boobs ache in sympathy. Why didn’t she just go one size up?

Also – and this is just my preference – I think her lipstick is wrong. Part of the reason we can see the real Nicki in previous outings is because her face looks so different (and beautiful) when she’s wearing natural makeup and a simple, normal lipstick. This cotton-candy pink shade is distracting.

    1. My (ample) bosoms feel sympathy too, OMG.

    2. Does she have a Butt of Lies, à la the Kardashian family women?

    :/

    • Renee says:

      Yes,

      She has both an ass and chest made of lies.

      • BratB says:

        Lies all lies! I never wanted to deflate something so badly!!!!!

      • kri says:

        Anytime you are compared to Kim K. you have made a style poopsie in the bed. She is gorgeous, but I like her “makeunder” so much more.

      • kri says:

        LOL!! “Ass of lies” classic.

      • Abby_J says:

        If you popped either, she looks like she’d fly around the room like a balloon.

        Still, I kind of like her brand of crazy, and I am adoring her Courtney Loveesque makeover.

    • MCraw says:

      Aren’t her girls supported tho? She looks great here. Wearing lingerie as a dress is nothing new, it should fit the way it does.

      I do agree about the lipstick tho. Another shade would’ve elevated this whole look.

      I really am loving her style change.

  2. birdie says:

    I like that she uses less make-up and doesn’t wear wigs anymore. Now she needs a good stylist.

    • neelyo says:

      …and some good music.

    • homegrrrl says:

      Noooo. Noooo to the stylist thing. I believe the stylists weeds are ruining true character of the modern celebrity. If I was into Rachel Zoe, for example, I’d be all about her. The fact that celebrities turn to someone else for what is “proper” or culturally acceptable is horrendous. I’d rather see weird quirk than cookie cutter “chic”.

  3. sputnik says:

    i have a soft spot for her but this dress looks like ill-fitting underwear.

  4. maynot says:

    Definitely underwear.

    You fail to realize that the point of everything Nicki wears is to show off how big her butt is. She doesn’t want to wear figure-flattering clothes lol… Same with KimK.

    • whatsmyname? says:

      THIIIIIIIS. And it’s a shame because she would look really good with different type of clothes especially now with her makeunder.. oh well

      • AlmondJoy says:

        Exactly! I agree with you. When people spend money for these huge body parts, they don’t look for clothes that minimize them. They want them to show!

  6. JudyK says:

    Since when did Spanx become outer wear?

  7. eliza says:

    This is one person I have never understood the success of. I find her tacky, obnoxious and vile. Her music sends me into fits of rage on the very rare occasions I have been forced to endure it.

    So to answer the question- backsliding, if that is even possible since she was already bad

    • Lucybelle says:

      I agree with every last word you said.

    • AlmondJoy says:

      I agree that Nicki’s music is terrible now. I’m a fan of rap though, and her early music was good. When she was an underground artist, I really enjoyed her. Once she went mainstream and became a caricature, I started to dislike her. Can’t deny that she’s beautiful and very successful though, despite it all.

  8. Jackson says:

    Any time that shade of lipstick is worn, it’s a fail. And I bet Kim K is pissed she didn’t wear that dress (???) first.

    • kri says:

    Three of my best friends are bartenders in that club and they said she was so rude, lip synched, and then in between songs when she tried to talk her microphone wasn’t even turned on LOL. She also had a girl standing by her that would reapply lipstick when she pointed at her. Sorry but I find this all pretty hilarious

    I think Nicki is a terrible rapper. The dress is ridiculous.

    I am sure the song is shake shake shake, not fake fake fake your booty.
