The news broke yesterday (December 18) that Minaj is the face of the Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2015 campaign. The campaign images were shot in LA by Italian photographer Francesco Carrozzini.
Minaj was the only woman to make it into the Forbes Hip-Hop Cash Kings 2014 list – earning an estimated $14 million this year – and now the 32-year old is cashing in on the high-fashion stakes. In addition to the ready-to-wear collection she is also endorsing the eyewear and accessory line.

Roberto Cavalli commented “I chose Nicki Minaj because she embodies the exuberant and modern femininity of the Cavalli woman. In recent years we have become accustomed to women castigated in clothes that hide their body shapes. With this campaign, I wanted to send a strong countertrend message. I wanted a sensual woman who is aware of her body – who is not afraid to show her curves. Instead, she makes them her strength.”
We agree with Cavalli – we can’t think of a better person to show off the brand’s bold designs. As I’m sure you’ll agree the the Trinidad and Tobago-born hip hop star looks absolutely vibrant in the campaign images and her confidence is defintely her best accessory.
Here is Nicki on The Tonight Show talking to Jimmy Fallon about her birthday, old school photos and her new album The Pink Print. (To watch this video in Creation 5, just tap here.)
