There’s hardly a time we can remember Nicki Minaj without her rainbow-hued wigs and equally vivid makeup -- crazed eyelashes included. But as of late, the 31-year-old rapper has taken her iconic candy-colored look au natural, as seen on the Billboard Music Awards red carpet in Las Vegas on Sunday night.

“I felt like it was a natural transition,” explained Minaj during Billboard.com and Samsung's red carpet show. “I always wanted to do it by the third album. It’s getting a great reaction, so I am not going to stop now,” she said. Minaj donned a floor-length black Alexander Wang gown with cutouts that put her stomach and, uh, other assets front and center. She also opted for a neutral lip shade and a clean complexion, with a pop of glitter swept across her eyelids.
And although the songstress’ wigs seem to be retired -- if only temporarily, her friends are making the most of them. Last week, Rihanna snapped a shot of herself wearing a pink pixie wig and tweeted, “We raided Nicki’s wig closet for the summer. Bad gals just wanna have fun!”

And lest you think her Minajesty has ditched her color-loving ways entirely, look no further than her upcoming album, aptly titled, The Pink Print.
“You want to look more Rodeo Drive than rodeo,” says super stylist José Eber on mastering the glam tresses trend, which made quite a showing at Sunday's BBMAs.
Nicki Minaj might have arrived in a simple black dress, but she wasn't afraid to bare a bit of bosom at the BBMAs on Sunday night. And neither were a lot of other people.
