Now this is more like it. After her disastrous run at this year’s Grammy Awards, Nicki Minaj proves that she can be stylish and fashionable when she puts her mind to it. The rapper recently collaborated with MAC Cosmetics on their latest Viva Glam collection, and has been making the promotional rounds on behalf of the partnership, and to promote the upcoming release of her sophomore album.
One immediately spotted trend of the night was basic black getting kicked up a notch with bold, metallic gold accents. Gwyneth Paltrow, Rihanna, and Alicia Keys were all at the forefront of this look, with Rihanna and Alicia even wearing the same pair of Christian Louboutin heels.
BFF of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Gwyneth took to the Grammy stage wearing a black gown from Stella McCartney. The dress was accessorized with a wide gold belt.
Rihanna had all heads turning on the red carpet in a custom Giorgio Armani dress that she collaborated on with Armani himself, saying the designer was beginning to trust her design skills. She also said the inspiration for her look came from Michelle Pfeiffer’s character in the movie Scarface. She matched her new gold hair, with a gold clutch, and gold wrist cuff.
Alicia Keys also wore black and gold, accessorizing her black Alexandre Vauthier knee length dress with an oversized gold statement necklace. A stylish pompadour hairstyle and Christian Louboutin ‘Bis Un Bout’ clear PVC ankle-strap pumps completed her look.
Recording Artist Ashanti made a lot of promo rounds on Monday (February 13) in New York City. The 31 year-old was spotted at three different places rocking a new ‘braided hairband’ look. The new hairstyle stood out along with her colorful eclectic dresses.
Ashanti first appeared on Good Morning America, performing her latest single, “The Woman You Love”. She then stopped by BET’s 106 & Park, where she talked about the death of Whitney Houston and her upcoming video and project. She capped off the day with a Fashion Week show, sitting front row at the Falguni & Shane Peacock show.
