Nicki Minaj’s Makeup and Outfit Draw Attention After Trump Summit

Rapper Nicki Minaj made headlines in January 2026 when she publicly declared herself “probably the president’s No. 1 fan” during a Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, D.C. While there, she stood alongside President Donald Trump and defended him against critics. Minaj’s ongoing support for Trump continues to get her fans talking. And now, all eyes are on her signature hair, makeup, and outfit that she wore to the summit. Here’s what everyone’s talking about.

Nicki Minaj has become one of the most vocal celebrity supporters of President Donald Trump. She held hands with Trump in January 2026 at the Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, D.C. And she’s commented that any backlash over her support doesn’t “affect” her, according to TheWrap. Instead, the criticism motivates her to “support him more,” adding that she believes the former president is being “bullied” and “smeared.”

Minaj’s actions and words aside, it’s her signature hair and makeup that also garnered attention at the Trump Accounts Summit. While on stage with Trump, Minaj paired a dramatic white fur coat with a sleek, long hairstyle that framed her face smoothly, suggesting a polished, high‑gloss look consistent with her public persona. Photos from the summit show her hair styled straight and pulled back slightly behind the ears. This emphasized both her facial features and accessories, such as gold earrings.

Her makeup, meanwhile, combined signature elements the rapper often favors. Minaj’s eye makeup stood out with defined liner and lashes that enhanced her gaze under bright stage lighting. Foundation, blush, and contouring appeared designed to create a sculpted, camera‑ready finish. Her lips were shaped with a darker shade that contrasted with her outfit and the blue summit backdrop.

There were mixed responses in the commentary around her beauty look. Her long, chrome‑painted nails drew playful attention from Trump, who joked he might grow his own in homage. Others critiqued aspects of the makeup, especially the heavy pink blush and bold lip color, as overly intense under flash photography. The List pointed out that Minaj’s makeup appeared cakey on camera.

At the Trump Accounts Summit, Nicki Minaj arrived in a striking ensemble to go with her bold makeup. She wore a butter‑yellow high‑neck jersey dress by Alaïa. And she paired the look with white suede Alaïa heels, creating a polished silhouette. Over the dress, she added a floor‑length white fur coat. Her accessories included gold jewelry and exceptionally long, chrome‑painted acrylic nails.

According to Page Six, the dress retails for $3,750, and the heels go for $1,450. That’s over $5,000 before the fur coat even comes into play.

The rapper loves an over-the-top makeup and hair look

Nicki Minaj’s signature looks often feature dramatic cat-eye eyeliner, voluminous lashes, contoured cheekbones, and vibrant lipstick ranging from neon pink to deep reds. Hair is equally central to her style. She’s worn everything from long, black strands to colorful wigs and platinum blond tresses.

In 2014, Minaj told Glamour that she loves experimenting with her look. “I experiment a lot with my own hair and makeup when I’m on downtime,” she said. “I’m inspired by anything and anyone I see. I follow magazines and designers on social media to keep my eye on things, and my stylists bring me what they think is hot in the marketplace.”

While she previously mentioned how she feels even sexier when wearing a natural look, Minaj noted that the feeling was only temporary. “Not sure if I’ll continue with it,” she told Glamour. “In fact, I’m sure I won’t. I’ll mix it up. It’s just how I feel at the moment.”
