Nicki Minaj Harajuku Barbie
The Pink Friday star has showed up to the new york fashion week in her Harajuku barbie style.The colorful hip hop rapper even sat in the front row show off her unique big hair and colorful clothes.
Some of the critics do not understand why Nicki dresses the way she does, could it be because she does not fit the stereotype?
Just because she is a rapper does not mean she can not have a universal wardrobe that includes Japan and Korea.She is not afraid to take risks and that is what I can say about her appearance at the Carolina Herrera Spring 2012 show
Betsey Johnson said that she is inspired by the many wigs and tight outlandish outfits that Nicki Minaj wears in her interviews and stage performances.
The musician and artist came on the scene just over a year ago and has not stopped.
Touring with Britney Spheres and Lil Wayne, Creating her own M.A.C. Lipstick, on the cover of Vogue, V magazine, Complex, King and many more.

Fans can see photos of their favorite Barbie on her website and the best part is that at every event Nicki poses with her fans creating a very large photo gallery of outfits and facial expressions.
It must be awesome to be the muse of one of the greatest designers of all time.
The fun and light hearted designer adds a little princess and edge to her spring 2012 collection inspired by Nicki Minaj herself.
I just found out that the puff ball outfit was a rip off from an independent designer named Jessica Rogers over at SomeDayNewYorker on blogger. She explains how she had contacted minaj over a year ago about her wearing her designs. It is too bad that things like this happen and Nicki seriously has some explaining to do.
Jennifer Hudson Weight Transformation
It has been an amazing journey to see Jennifer Hudson lose so much weight on the weight watchers program.
You can really see the results of her sticking to her diet and following a structured routine.
Her positive slimming has caused her family to want to also work towards a healthier lifestyle.
I know that Hudson has a big fan base and they are watching her and becoming inspired.
The american idol winner has more than just a size zero waist she also has a great singing voice and has come out with her album entitled "i remember me" has 12 tracks.
The first one entitled no on is going to love you is one of my favorite head bobbin tunes on the album.
But will have to admit the hit "I get this" is my jam, I listen to it everyday and it keeps me going.
Then there is the booty shakin song " don't look down" and I could not sit still, I was up dancing as soon as I put the song on.
She has also done a song with david guetta, the single night of your life, is an upbeat dance tempo.
Jennifer is bringing the funky, soul back and I am so glad. Her rendition of Natasha Bedingfield's song "still here" is such a beautiful song.
I would say most of the songs on the album would make really great movie soundtracks.
I am really looking forward to her having a very successful career in the industry, she has all the right characteristics, beauty, brains, the voice and acting skills, friends and a loving family.

Rihanna's Different Red Hair Styles
Some pop stars are able to get away with really outlandish looks and one that comes to mind is the beautiful Rihanna. I will have to admit that I was not to thrilled to see her bright raggedy ann doll haircolor.It was so loud and obnoxious, but over time just like with anything else I got used to it and think she wears it really well.
Through out the months the "Only Girl in the World" singer has pulled off some pretty cute hair styles that I want to feature on this blog.
Wearing Hair Accessories
The first one that I really like is the one where she is at the Westfield shopping center in London. Here she is seen wearing a big white hair bow with pink polka dots and it is very flattering.
I would have to say it is much better looking than the really bright hair that she wore for Matt Kemps Birthday party in West hollywood. I did like the dress though, it was really modern.
The fab outfit was a animal print long sleeve dress from Emilio Pucci which I love in the black, gray and white colors and the shoes were Jimmy Choo private strappy sandals. Showing off her well manicured toes.Getting Style Tips from Animation Characters
Actually the hairstyle that Rihanna wore reminded me of the animation character Jessica Rabbit. What do you think.
I do like to watch animation and I am pretty impressed with how the characters are drawn to make any woman green with envy.
But in this case the bright red hair should be left for the cartoons not for hot celebrities like Rihanna.
The next hair style that rihanna wore had to truly be a last minute thought, because really who would be caught wearing this hot mess of a red kinky fro.
Big and Messy Hair
Now don't get me wrong I do like the natural hair look on women but this is just ridiculous, what was she thinking or better yet not thinking about.
But hey she is a rich famous celebrity and she can wear anything she wants because being a trend setter is the only way to stand out from the crowd.Maybe it could work at a costume party or masquerade ball but not for everyday.
I forgive the "Love the way you Lie" star because she came back and really made me smile, I saw her at a music award show and her hair looked amazing.
Bringing Sexy Hair Back
The style had nice big spiral curls that fell on her shoulders, I would wear my hair in this style.That is how much I liked it, even had a bit of sassy hippness. So then I completely changed my mine on the whole look.
It really can be done if done correctly. Also it is best to keep in mind that her skin tone plays a big factor in working with the various red shades.
My next picture of rihanna is one that pretty much surprised me but in a good way, as you will see the look takes on a more smooth conservative style that could actually be worn to a board meeting or business function without hesitation.
The "Loud" singer must have a team of beauticians keeping her hair looking tight and right at all times because this one I would say is a sure winner.
Smooth Straight Hair
Now I do have to mention that the dress RiRi wore to the Grammys took the look to new heights.
The Jean Paul Gaultier Couture dress was just divine. Its the feminine outfit was perfect for the neck length flattering dark red bob Rihanna wore to the awards show.
Lastly I wanted to mention that this style can be worn up as well. Just think of all the many places that you could wear this updo, wedding, prom or special event even to work.
50's Hair Updo
What I liked the most was how this straight 50's updo hairstyle really accentuates the eyes and facial features really well.The beehive in the back allows for the hair to stand taller, while the hair near the nape of the neck is securely tucked and pinned back.
These many photos of Rihanna wearing red hairstyles does not even scratch the surface of her many looks but I thought I would showcase the ones that I found fitting or not for the young star.
Lately it looks as if the controversial songstress is going for a deeper auburn hair color, losing the bright red and actually showing a more natural looking haircut.
Nicki Minaj Asian Inspired Hairstyle
First of all she knows how to switch it up and give a new creative twist to her many outfits. Not to be seen in the same costume twice, we can expect a really entertaining fashion statement from our hip hop barbie.
As can be seen in her visit to YSL in New York City where she was the host for fashion week, it was nice to see her tone down her style for the event.
She was in an asian inspired black and gold kimono, with her shimmering braclets and black hair updo decorated with chopsticks.
Her signature pink lipstick was on point and I love the beautiful torqouise eyeshadow above her taranchula eyelashes.
How to Look Like Nicki
It looks to me that the wig or hairpiece will need to be extra long in order to get the rounded pinned curls on top, remember the hair must be secured with bobbie pins because the chop sticks are just for a dramatic visual effect not to hold the hair in place.
The hair accessory known as hair sticks work well when styling long hair and one place that I found that sells them are on eBay for really cheap less than $5 dollars for a set of hair chopsticks.
Kimono Inspired Look
Next you will need to buy a black kimono with gold trim, if you are unable to find the exact pattern you can find a long black dress or make the outfit from scratch if your good with the needle and thread.
Seriously though you can probably find this in your local 2nd hand or thrift store, not to mention discount fashion outlets.
But if you want to spend a pretty penny then it is for sale at shop style and I thought the variety of lengths and fabrics looked really chic.
The prices were under $100 dollars, but if your on a budget like me than you will want to try eBay for the dress, the prices are $30 dollars or less in the clothing section.
Now I can not end this post with out talking about the handbag and the shoes, they were so fab. Some would describe her look as a African American Geisha girl, What do you think?
The Japanese style that the pink friday singer wore to the NY Fashion Night Out, had plenty of fans going crazy outside of the Yves Saint Laurent store front.Platform High Heels
In her Gold and Black Suede Lucy High Heel Strap Pumps for $1,095.00.
Ms.super bass star accessorized it with a large top handle YSL Cabas Chyc Black Leather Handbag which costs $1,995.00.
I noticed the dual gold cuff bracelets and they look so sophisticated and really brings the whole outfit together.
To achieve this celebrity look from head to toe you can always mix and match to create your own version of this fashion forward kimono-inspired dress.
