She is known for her fondness of bright colours and bold prints.
But Nicki Minaj has taken her love of turning heads one step further in a new shoot for the Power Issue of American Vogue magazine.
The rapper can be seen painted a striking shade of blue in an image shot by photographer Steven Klein.
Bright young thing: Nicki Minaj is eye-catching in blue body paint in the March Power Issue of American Vogue
The sapphire shade presents a stark contrast to Nicki’s bubble gum pink curls and matching slick of lipstick.
The 29-year-old also wears a dramatic scarlet dress and matching opera gloves to complete her unusual look for the fashion magazine shoot.
And in an interview to accompany the creative photograph, the star opened up about how her style wasn’t always so distinctive.

Pink palette: Nicki has designed a lipstick for MAC's Viva Glam range
She told the publication: ‘I was dressing in Tommy Hilfiger baggy shirts and Boss jeans, but then I met a person who dressed like a tiny lady—pantsuits, heels, lots of makeup.
‘I thought she was larger than life. She once did my makeup – I had never seen myself made up before. I didn’t want to wash it off; I felt like I had one day to live this fantasy of being a glamour girl.’
She also added that her eye-catching ensembles are ‘costumes, not outfits.’
And as well as telling the fashion magazine about her style discovery, the Super Bass rapper admitted that she didn’t always see herself ending up in the music industry.
She confessed: ‘A huge part of me wanted to be a lawyer. I would do a really good job as a prosecutor.’
Nicki has lent her name to MAC's ultra-altruistic Viva Glam range, for which all profits from make-up sold go to HIV and AIDS charities.
The star has designed a vibrant pink lipstick for the line, and has spoken out about her delight to be involved in the project.
She has said: ‘When I was chosen by MAC cosmetics to be the next Viva Glam spokesperson, I wanted to hug everyone that worked at MAC for giving me this opportunity.
'I've always wanted to be a Viva Glam girl.'
