Nicki Minaj Wears Wacky Outfit To Versace For H&M Event

Nicki Minaj has outdone herself..yet again. Minaj is really allowing her creative juices to flow as she attempted to tap into her Trinidadian roots by arriving at the launch of VERSACE FOR H&M gala in a glittered, blue, black and green ensemble reminiscent of a carnival party….gone terribly wrong.

Nicki’s green wig and multicolored pumps may have stole the show; but the Super Bass singer wasn’t the only fashion misfit, as pop songstress Ke$ha arrived in a full leopard print jump suit equipped with high black sandals and dark, bedroom eyes to match.

It appeared that almost every celebrity was in the mood to let it all hang out as even Oprah Winfrey pumped up the volume with a deep, plunging neck line while pictured next to a conservatively dressed Uma Thurman.

Other notable guest included Prince who kept things classic in a black suit with colorful lapel, Donatella Versace who squeezed into a form fitting, black dress, Gossip Girl Blake Lively and Jennifer Hudson who showed off her slim physique in an all black dress.

 

Lively said of Versace:

“I’ve always been such a fan. The dresses that she makes, all the things she makes, they’re always such amazing shapes for women. And she always has such unexpected things between the colors and the patterns, the detail, the beading, it’s always shocking – and I love that.”

Jessica Alba also added: “I just think it’s amazing that every girl gets to know what it feels like to wear Versace, how cool is that? It’s an iconic brand.”

Nicki added while on the red carpert, “She’s a legend. She’s amazing,”

She added: “I said in an interview recently I remember Biggie Smalls rap about Versace and wanting to know what that was. So I told Donatella today, you don’t understand how many little girls are jumping for joy now that you’re introducing a more affordable line. So I’m just happy to be here.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
