Nicki Minaj coaxes rare smile from Anna Wintour at Vogue's Forces of Fashion in NYC

As I delve deeper into the glamorous world of entertainment, I can’t help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for these powerhouses who rule their respective domains with grace and panache.


At the eighth annual Forces of Fashion event, held at One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday, Nicki Minaj managed to draw a seldom-seen grin from Vogue’s global editorial director, Anna Wintour.

In her interview with Vogue last November, the 41-year-old rapper famously improvised the following verse: ‘I’ve heard about who they targeted / They said you’re a 10, I think they meant 4 / How to get in touch with the Wintour / Hello, Anna Wintour!’

In a navy-blue turtleneck gown featuring a raised hemline, paired with black stiletto heels and shiny spherical bracelets, Nicki (whose birth name is Onika Maraj) showcased some of her leg.

For the day-long industry function with ticket prices ranging from $2000 to $5000, Minaj sported a long, side-parted black wig and a striking bold red lipstick.

Just outside the building, the artist nominated for twelve Grammys demonstrated her stardom by drawing a crowd of passionate Barbie (Barbz) fans, who surrounded her upon entering.

Nicki participated in a live discussion titled ‘Nicki Reloaded’, which was facilitated by Meta’s Vice President of Fashion, Eva Chen, at the Forces of Fashion event.

In various stages of my life, numerous women shared with me: “At a particular point in your life, you will find immense joy. Matters that once caused concern, occupied thought, or demanded attention – they’ll no longer do so. You’ll exude self-assurance,” Minaj reminisced onstage.

In response, let me rephrase: “I replied with a firm ‘no.’ Truth be told, I was overly concerned about trivial matters. And indeed, they were correct. It’s like you suddenly realize that most of the things we worry or fret over – whether it’s someone’s comment about us or something said online – simply don’t matter in the grand scheme of things.

It seems that you’re acknowledging the abundance of blessings in your life but find yourself preoccupied with those who don’t appreciate you. It’s as if, as you reach certain significant ages such as 30, 40, or 50 – these milestones, particularly for women, foster a sense of growing self-assurance and confidence within you.

This Trinidad-born, New York-bred celebrity shared insights on how, over the years, she discovered the types of attire that flatter her physique most effectively and hairstyles that complement her facial features optimally.

Nicki pointed out, “As you grow in self-awareness, you find it easier to forgive yourself. This newfound understanding allows you to embrace yourself more fully, including aspects you previously didn’t appreciate.

Initially, I found it difficult to gaze upon old photos of myself. Yet, these days, I find myself appreciating them immensely. It’s a mystery to me why I felt differently about them in the past, but I’m grateful for the shift in my perspective.

‘And I hope all girls or boys everywhere I hope that you know that one day you’re going to look back at those pictures you hate, and you’re going to realize: ‘Oh my god, look how beautiful, look how pretty, look how cute I was!” So do it now. Love yourself now because that’s how I really feel right now.’

Currently, Anna, who will celebrate her 75th birthday in just three weeks, presided over a discussion titled ‘Victoria’s Reign,’ featuring Victoria Beckham, the creative director of her own brand.

Instead of the 50-year-old fashion icon once called ‘Posh Spice’, chose a deep-necked olive green midi dress adorned with gathered short sleeves, paired with vibrant orange ankle-strapped heels.

As a devoted fan, I’m taking a well-earned break, just like Minaj did last Friday, wrapping up her incredible 79-date Pink Friday 2 World Tour that grossed an impressive $108.8 million. And guess what? This break is all the sweeter after those chats with two lovely British ladies, right by a coffee maker!

Next Monday, Cardi B (The Big Difference rapper) will mark their fifth wedding anniversary with husband Kenneth Petty. Their son, who is four years old and affectionately called ‘Papa Bear’ in public circles, completes their family.

A 46-year-old individual from the music industry has been given a probation sentence of three years, due to not complying with the requirement to register as a sex offender in California.

At the age of sixteen, Nicki encountered Kenneth, a man who had previously spent a total of eleven years behind bars. His imprisonment was due to two separate crimes: raping a sixteen-year-old girl in 1995 and murdering a man in 2002 by shooting him dead.
