Nicki Minaj stuns in dramatic bold black gown on cover of Vogue Arabia's September issue. And the rapper stuns in a bold black Christian Siriano ruffled dress as she poses up a storm on the front of the magazine.
The black and white photo is one of two covers the publication uses; the second cover shows the 35-year-old wearing a wide-brimmed hat and jacket with padded shoulders.
According to ET.com, the gown is a Christian Siriano velvet long sleeve number that features a thigh-high slit and dramatic tulle sleeves.
The outfit she wears for the second cover is by Marc Jacobs.
In the article inside the magazine, Minaj talks about her ambition.
'I’m not here to play. I’m just as smart, talented, and creative as any man,' she says.
Recalling her job at a restaurant before making it in the music industry, she explained: 'I always thought, I’m going to get the hell out of this joint, stop waitressing, and become a big superstar.'
