Check Out Nicki Minaj’s Campaign As The New Face for Roberto Cavalli

Hitmaker, actress and model Nicki Minaj is the new face for Roberto Cavalli. It’s splendid timing for the designer, considering that Minaj’s new album The Pinkprint just dropped and is trending right now.

Minaj, who has also worked with MAC Cosmetics on campaigns, will be fronting Roberto Cavalli’s ads for spring. The star looks gorgeous in a black bouffant hairdo and zebra stripe gown in one photo, shot in Los Angeles by photographer Francesco Carrozzini.

“I chose Nicki Minaj because she embodies the exuberant and modern femininity of the Cavalli woman,” said Roberto Cavalli. “In recent years, we have become accustomed to women castigated in clothes that hide their body shapes. With this campaign, I wanted to send a strong countertrend message. I wanted a sensual woman who is attentive of her body, who is not worried to show her curves — rather, she turns them into her strength.”

The images will appear in global publications in January.
