She has never been known for being the shy and retiring type.
And Nicki Minaj did little to dispel that image as she was spotted in a bodycon optical illusion dress in Los Angeles on Friday.
The dress hugged every one of Nicki’s curves, although it was a slight departure from her usual outlandish and colourful outfits.
As well as the white and grey dress, she also donned a splendid blonde wig and added some of her trademark colour to the outfit by wearing leopard print shoes.
But there was a reason for the Trinidad born 30-year-old putting in so much effort to look smart and attractive.
The star was attending her Kmart Shop Your Way media event in the city, and made sure she was appropriately attired.

It may even be the dress was one of the creations she is hoping to hawk with the clothing line she is developing for the discount clothing chain.
She was signed up by the company along with Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine in January.
And the rapper will doubtlessly be hoping it pays off, as changes could be afoot at American Idol due to dismal ratings.
Wednesday night’s show was a watershed moment for the franchise, as it emerged it had fewer viewers in the coveted 18-49 demographic than Modern Family on ABC.

The show still won the night with 13.5million viewers compared to Modern Family‘s 10.6 million viewers, according to TV By The Numbers.
But it is a bad sign for the waning programme, especially as Fox shelled out an estimated $54million on judges and host Ryan Seacrest this year, with a large chunk of that going to new judges Mariah Carey and Nicki.
The bubble seems to have burst on the once unstoppable singing talent show juggernaut, with Simon Cowell’s X Factor USA also posting embarrassing numbers despite the recruitment of big name singers Britney Spears and Demi Lovato as judges.
