From leopard-print wigs to getups that resemble gumball machines, we’ve come to expect loud, colorful and always entertaining outfits from Nicki Minaj. How unfortunate it was, then, to see her arrive at the Grammy awards covered up in this dowdy, Little Red Riding Hood costume. It was all part of an act to promote her “Roman Holiday” single (her date was dressed as a pope), but the whole affair felt too forced and over the top. Let’s hope Minaj brings back the rainbow outfits next year.
