Score for Nicki Minaj: Front row next to Anna Wintour
NEW YORK - September 12, 2011
The multiplatinum singer showed up in a multiplatinum Marie
Antoinette wig and technicolor pompom-ed sweater to grab the prime
real estate at New York Fashion Week. Rounding out the look for her
chat with the Vogue editor in chief was a bright orange mini skirt,
neon stockings and pink shoes.
They exchanged smiles before the show but got serious once the
models took to the catwalk. On Minaj's other side was W magazine
fashion editor Stefano Tonchi. Zellweger, who usually rocks Herrera
designs on red carpets, sat front row nearby.
Minaj, who released her platinum-selling debut "Pink Friday"
last year, has evolved from oversexed street rapper to animated
R&B-pop singer and a bona fide star. She has a penchant for
Barbies, wild outfits and cartoonish wigs.
At last month's MTV Video Music Awards, Minaj wore a printed
surgical mask, rainbow wig and mini-tutu in a cubic design, with an
attached string of stuffed toys.
Zellweger took photos with fellow actress Olivia Munn at
Herrera. British singer Corinne Bailey Rae and "Twilight" actress
Elizabeth Reaser also attended.
