The Nicki Minaj Black Book magazine cover for the March Issue in a 70s-inspired spread. The self-proclaimed "Harajuku Barbie" shows off her sexy and sophisticated side doing so effortlessly as though she was born to model.

The five different looks capture the rapstress as a classic modern beauty with turquoise eye shadow, soft pink blush and the star's own Pink Friday lip color. The modern day beauty is definitely more than just a Barbie, so the Nicki Minaj Black Book magazine cover is something sensational to look at.
