Nicki Minaj Returns to Blonde Hair

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 6, 2015Leave a Comment

After several months with Raven black locks and a more reserved look, Nicki Minaj stepped out today back to her Barbz aka Black Barbie days. Besides her bold Versace and Guiseppe Zanotti ensemble what we took note of most was her return to blonde hair. Nicki has worn this hair look before, platinum blonde hair color while keeping dark roots in play.

Nevertheless, so far her fans have had mixed reactions to Minaj’s changed style. Fans on Instagram have given the music star over a million likes that span across the 9 pictures Nicki posted a little over an hour ago. Comments include sentiments that Minaj is the ultimate diva to pleas for the hip hop genius to return to her black hair color. Of course we loved Nicki with darker tresses but as we always say, style is all about self expression. Therefore, if Nicki loves it then Nicki should just rock it!

Eleven Paris does it again with another fresh, stylish ad campaign for the spring/summer seasons. We had loved their campaign with hip hop artist Wiz Kalifa and now they have ushered in another level of cool by this time having Solange Knowles as their fashion muse.
