Nicki Minaj covers ELLE US this April

Let's be honest... I ain't a Nicki Minaj fan. I always hated her fake and plastic look inspired by Barbie. But, when I saw her photoshoot for ELLE's April issue I was like "No way!". On the photos Nicki is looking so natural and gorgeous while wearing designs by Tom Ford, Dolce & Gabbana, Jeremy Scott's line for the sports brand Adidas, etc.
P.S. The singer recently fired her stylists and I think that it is the best thing she's ever done.
Let's see her photos for the US edition of ELLE magazine.
