The “Anaconda” rapper is used to playing a sexy goddess: in her latest music video, she works out while wearing a thong and then brings fellow rapper Drake near to tears with her twerking before slapping away his hand when he tries to touch her. But it’s less often that we see Minaj dressed so conservatively. She would fit right in on the set of _Masters of Sex_ (and now that we think about it would make a pretty amazing guest star too). But Nicki Minaj has always been a fashion chameleon.
