Rapper Nicki Minaj and her eccentric self landed on the cover of W magazine for their Art & Fashion issue. She was shot by famed artist Francesco Vezzoli and styled in couture gowns by Versace and Dior. Check out the rest of her portrait shots below.
Vezzoli on what interested him in working with Minaj:
"I wanted to play with the public image of a female hip-hop star. During my entire career, I have always been fascinated by powerful women in history. I have spent a lot of time researching the ways they were represented in art and how their images were used to mold the public imagination—and to convey aesthetic and philosophical ideas about beauty and sexual desire. My main interest has been to link the historical artistic approach to female representation to contemporary icons of the media era."
Interesting but she looks very beauitful!
