Nicki Minaj Tries To Out-Gaga Gaga At AMA Nominee Press Conference

by Halle Kiefer (@hallekiefer)

Look, we all know Nicki Minaj would look hot in anything, even a child’s bathing suit top and a coat made out of seaweed. We know this because Minaj actually wore that today as she announced the American Music Awards nominees at a press conference in Los Angeles.

As she presented the names alongside an extremely dapper Pitbull, we had to ask: is Nicki Minaj now just straight-gunning for Lady Gaga‘s title as Princess Lot of Look? Between this and her New-York-Fashion-Week-meets-cat-toy outfit, Nicki has moved away from looking like a Barbie, and started looking like a woman who’s clothes are just dozens of Barbie outfits melted together. So what do you think? Is Nicki moving in on Gaga’s territory, or is this just her looking like a hot mess? And is there a difference, really?

Really?
