Nicki Minaj goes from controversial to couture in a stunning new designer photo shoot

 Clad from head to toe in designer clothing, the American Idol host looked perfectly polished as she posed in the backyard of a quintessential Los Angeles, California, home.

The star posted four photographs from the shoot on Twitter on Thursday declaring them as all showing 'realness'.

Looking the perfect mix of couture and feminine, in the first outfit Nicki showed off her curves in a figure hugging red Oscar de la Renta dress.
