Nicki Minaj Goes Blue For Vogue's March 2012 Issue (PHOTOS)

PHOTOS: Guess Who!

Is that a Smurf? A female version of Skeeter from "Doug"? Some sort of Disney character incarnate?

No, it's Nicki Minaj!

The singer makes a very bright appearance in March's issue of Vogue (the one with Adele on the cover!), wearing her signature pink hair in curls and a very sexy fuchsia gown and gloves as she poses for Steven Klein.

Oh yeah, and as you might notice -- she's blue.

We suspected we'd see Minaj grace the pages of Vogue someday. After all, she's been on something of a fashion tear lately, hitting New York Fashion Week parties and wearing a headline-making nun outfit at the Grammys.

But she tells the magazine that when she was in high school in Queens, she wasn't so attuned to fashion until a chance encounter:

"I was dressing in Tommy Hilfiger baggy shirts and Boss jeans, but then I met a person who dressed like a tiny lady—pantsuits, heels, lots of makeup. I thought she was larger than life. She once did my makeup—I had never seen myself made up before. I didn’t want to wash it off; I felt like I had one day to live this fantasy of being a glamour girl.”
