Since her first album, Pink Friday, Nicki Minaj has undoubtedly held her place as the queen of Rap. Her impact on the music industry is remarkable, and she has paved the way for other superstars like Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, and many others in their rap careers. The impact this rapper has had on the music industry alone is unparalleled. Her style has also played a significant role in her iconic position in the industry.

Nicki's outrageous style came under the spotlight when she donned a headto-toe leopard Givenchy outfit paired with a puffy wild wig to the mid-2010 Grammy Awards. 2. Out of this World Sexy

We aren't sure what Nicki was trying to go for with this look, but she pulled it off. Rocking a neonembellished Manish Arora dress, Nicki looked different at the 2010 American Music Awards. She spiced up her look with blond hair and pink and gold strappy sandals. 3. Not-Your-Regular Japanese Doll!

Nicki Minaj celebrated the Grammys Awards nomination for the songs 'Anaconda' and 'Bang Bang' by showing up in a jawdropping black Tom Ford deep V-neck dress with a fringe. She killed this look, and although her songs didn't win any awards, her dress deserved an award.

7. Holy Crimson, it’s Versace!

A lot of criticism came with Nicki Minaj's look at the 2012 Grammy Awards. She showed up dressed in a crimson red cape from Versace reminiscent of the Pope's signature outfit. This look was odd and exciting at the same time.
