Nicki Minaj‘s latest shoe statement was packed with vibrant colors.
As shared on Instagram, the “Pink Friday” posed in a set of chunky Alexander McQueen sneakers. Her $790 Sprint style featured an exaggerated silhouette with a white leather base and rounded soles, complete with leather trim in vibrant hues of yellow, green and pink for a burst of color.
The lace-up style was complete with McQueen’s swirling initial symbol on each side, crafted from orange leather for a graphic punch. Minaj opted to pair the bright shoes with an equally bright ensemble: a blue, purple and orange catsuit with racer-style colorblocking, which created a bold statement from head to toe.

The “Last Time I Saw You” singer finished her outfit with small diamond earrings, layered diamond rings and stacks of gold and diamond-encrusted bracelets. For a dash of fashion nostalgia, she also carried a black Louis Vuitton satchel from the brand’s iconic spring 2003 collaboration with Takashi Murakami; the accessory prominently featured the label’s signature monogram in 33 hues, further emphasizing her look’s colorful nature.
When it comes to shoes, there’s no style Minaj hasn’t worn. The “Starships” rapper’s most recent pairs have included thong and ankle-wrap sandals by Alexander Wang, Paciotti and Gianvito Rossi. Her off-duty looks regularly incorporate slides and chunky sandals from brands like Off-White, Louis Vuitton and Celine as well. Where fashion is concerned, Minaj is a star on the scene from her bold and colorful attire over the years, which has even landed her front-row seats for brands like Balmain, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera and more.
She also has a range of fashion projects under her belt, including collaborative lines of clothing and accessories with Fendi, H&M and Kmart over the years.
