The tailored looks run the gamut from a loose-fitting Prada suit with dark piping, to a sexy Dsquared2 white shirt and pants outfit, the top slightly unbuttoned to reveal a little cleavage. 

Minaj explained how important it is for her to make an impact in the male-dominated industry. “I want to build my empire,” she said. “In my field, I have always seen men do it, from Diddy to Dr. Dre to Jay Z. Now it’s a woman’s turn.”
