One example is Nicki’s look at the recently concluded 2014 MTV Movie Awards. She displayed Grecian glamour in a black Alexander McQueen gown that hugged her famous hourglass curves.

The sexy dress features sheer insets at the sides, but Nicki made it look very modest. She was barely recognizable with minimal makeup, a cat-eye liner, a nude lip shade, and her sleek waves with light brown highlights.

The 31-year-old rapper will soon appear in The Other Woman, a romantic comedy starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton.

Nicki made sure to make a statement with golden accessories. She sported a huge pair of earrings, a Cleopatra-inspired necklace, several gold rings, and a full arm cuff set by Alexander McQueen.
