Nicki Minaj Shows Off Tight Curly Hairstyle at The 2013 Met Gala. We’re loving Nicki in 2013! The girl is doing her thing, and her soft more sophisticated style is definitely one we hope she keeps for awhile. She was spotted at this year’s Met Gala wearing her blonde hair (with exposed roots) in very tight baby doll ringlets. Her makeup was kept somewhat soft as she paired the look with deep burgundy lips and a blue floor-length cut-out gown. See Nicki’s full look after the drop. I love her hair!
