Nicki Minaj’s outrageous fashion
Rapper Nicki Minaj appeared several times at New York Fashion Week.
In one of her appearances, she wore a black strapless gown embellished with floral designs. AOL reported that she paired her outfit with a sparkling necklace accessory.
Harper’s Bazaar magazine also saw Minaj wearing a giant black and white fur coat during the Spring 2018 show of designer Oscar de la Renta. The “Anaconda” singer also performed during the Spring/Summer 2018 show of Philipp Plein, where she openly expressed her viewpoints about the world of fashion, Billboard noted.
Plein was the designer who made Floyd Mayweather’s clothing during his recently concluded fight against Conor McGregor. The 39-year-old fashion designer is also an advocate for diversity in the industry and has demonstrated this through his creations in past seasons of the runway show.

Rihanna’s motorbike on stage
Rihanna also made sure that she would be noticed during New York Fashion Week.
She wowed the crowd by riding on a motorbike driven across the runway stage, as she made her exit from the Fenty and Puma show on Sunday night, The Guardian reported.
The show was a combination of two sports, “motocross and surf.” She told the media that it was a “challenge to bring them together,” but she managed to put it all together in the right combination.
