GLAM OR SHAM?: Nicki Minaj in Manish Arora at the American Music Awards

While Nicki Minaj is known for some outlandish looks (and camel toe-inducing leggings...sideeye), last night she took her freakish fashions to new haute couture heights. She turned to an uber-creative designer, Manish Arora, for a head-turning look straight off the Spring 2011 runway.



The dress incorporates Nicki's favorite colors: pink (hello, the Pink Friday album) and green (yup, color of her ombre hair tips) as well as blue, gold and yellow embellishments. The gold sequin straps literally popping out of the dress resemble ribs and claws and the neckline sticks up like ears. Very creative, very Nicki.



I usually sideeye her leggings and catsuits, but I do applaud her creativity and high-end fashion in her latest look. And love those gold Christian Louboutins she paired with the dress!



I say Glam in a futuristic, Nicki-esque way but what's your opinion? Glam or Sham?



Kisses,



Coutura
