Nicki Minaj Makes the Street Her Runway in Adidas Ad

Aug/15/2012 at 03:30 PM ET

We can’t believe we missed her! While filming her latest video, for Adidas Originals’ “all Originlas represent” campaign, Nicki Minaj walked — rather, worked — the New York City streets in the early hours of the morning, wearing colorful gear from head to toe and letting her song “Masquerade” — recorded especially for Adidas — rock the city. Catch a glimpse of the star’s serious modeling skills in the clip above.

Minaj is just a piece of the puzzle, though; the official video travels across the globe — from Manhattan and Tokyo to Paris and Rio de Janeiro — and includes appearances from rapper Big Sean, NBA player Derrick Rose and designer Jeremy Scott. But personally, we think Minaj more than holds her own against the big guys.

Already big in the beauty world thanks to her M.A.C and OPI deals, with Adidas, the singer makes her first — and we’re guessing, far from last — move into fashion advertising. And we can’t wait to see more.

When Did Sienna Miller Have Green Hair?

It turns out Sienna Miller was way ahead of Nicki Minaj in the hair color department: the actress dyed her hair all sorts of crazy colors as a teen. “First I experimented with rave colors,” Miller tells The Telegraph while reflecting on the ups and downs of her tresses. “Dying it pink, then pink with white streaks, then green.”

At one point, she even sported cornrows. “It was not a good look on me, especially as I had braces at the same time,” she shares.

Years later, Miller looked great in a cropped do for her role as Edie Sedgwick in Factory Girl — but says the look didn’t suit her as well when she was 16. “I took a picture of Winona Ryder into a branch of [salon chain] Toni & Guy in an effort to achieve her pixie cut,” she explains. “But when I walked out I looked as if I had a helmet on. My boyfriend at the time opened the door and closed it in my face.”

Needless to say, these days, the mom-to-be opts for a low-maintenance hairstyle. As she jokes, “I think I’ll be avoiding the cornrows.”
