Classy lady: Nicki Minaj opted for an
elegant look for her night out with rapper boyfriend Meek Mill on
Friday, the evening before she is due to open the MTV Video Music Awards
With
her long black hair worn straight, and a moss green shoulder bag over
her arm, Nicki's electric pink lips provided a pop of colour to her
outfit.
Her almond nails, filed to a point, were decorated with crystals and matched her nude dress to the shade.
The star was enjoying a night out in Hollywood, letting her hair down before she takes to the MTV stage on Sunday.

The
Anaconda star opened last year as well but after she criticized the
VMAs, getting into a Twitter spat with Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift as a
result it looked like Nicki might not be getting a call back.
The
Starships singer has a long history with the awards having made her VMA
debut in the 2010 pre-show and has performed on multiple occasions
taking to the main stage in 2012 to join Alicia Keys for her track Girl
on Fire and last year in a medley with Ariana Grande and Jessie J.
In
2014, the chart topper suffered a near wardrobe malfunction when she
could not get her top zipped up during a quick change so came on stage
holding it up as she sung.
When
VMA nominations were announced, Nicki tweeted that she would have
received more nods for her Anaconda video if she were a 'different kind
of artist'.

She continued: 'If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year.'
'Black women influence pop culture so much but are rarely rewarded for it.'
The comments about slim bodies did not sit well with Taylor who was up for Video Of The Year.
Taylor
tweeted Nicki: 'I've done nothing but love & support you. It's
unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took
your slot.'
Miley Cyrus, who is hosting the awards this Sunday in Los Angeles, told the New York Times: 'What I read sounded very Nicki Minaj, which, if you know Nicki Minaj is not too kind. It's not very polite.'

It's all about me: Miley, 22, believes
that Nicki made the argument about herself - due to her Anaconda video
being slighted - rather than making a statement for fellow
African-American pop stars
She went on, 'I think there's a way you speak to people with openness and love.'
'You
don't have to start this pop star against pop star war. It became Nicki
Minaj and Taylor in a fight, so now the story isn't even on what you
wanted it to be about.'

She added: 'If you want to make it about race, there's a way you could do that. But don't make it just about yourself.'
