While Vogue explores Nicki Minaj‘s costumed place front row at shows like Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera (“so regal and special”), FashionIndie explores photographer Steven Klein‘s blue shot (photoshop or makeup?) in the March issue. Trying to get in the family with Beyoncé and Jay-Z? Auditioning for the Blue Man Group? Battling Katy Perry for the role in Smurfs 2? If not on the pages of Vogue, where does this cerulean Nicki Minaj belong?

Belts have come up and down, all around, and in some seasons have disappeared altogether. For the Fall of 2012, however, a strong regime of stylists has determined the belt will fall at the natural waist. Ho hum as this may seem, it’s good news for you as the waist is naturally the skinniest part of the body. So you get to cinch it in tight and show off that sexy hourglass figure. Unlike the drop waist that dominated runways a year ago.

The 2012 SAG Awards took place last night, and our applause goes out to all the big winners. As always, we were super excited to see what everyone was wearing on the red carpet from the couture dresses to the 6-inch high stiletto platforms.

The New York Times chronicles the rise of Nicki Minaj as a style icon; from “making dresses in her basement” to donning Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci to the 2011 Grammy Awards to being a guest of Vogue editrix Anna Wintour at Carolina Herrera‘s spring 2012 fashion show. Minaj, however, has yet to attain the true testament to style-iconery — the coveted cover of Wintour’s precious publication. But according to the raptress’ manager, she’s “in talks with the magazine.”

Drop the waist low, fringe it forward, jazz it art deco and you’ve got Gucci Spring 2012. Frida Giannini turned out 20s in Milan, and she was not the only designer to do so this fashion week – think Marchesa, Temperley London, Carolina Herrera and others. However, in a remarkable coincidence (?) in which Giannini insists she was merely musing over NY skyscrapers of that time period, it also happens to be Gucci’s 90th birthday (bust out those calculators, ladies). Be that as it may, there’s an undeniable air of flapper in the air. See Gucci’s best roaring looks from yesterday’s show.

Betsy Ross may have fashioned the first ever American flag, but the Council of Fashion Designers of America is more likely to tap Betsey Johnson to design theirs.

Seat-buddies Nicki Minaj and Anna Wintour have a lot in common; they’re both strong black women; they both know what it’s like to deal with haters; and they’re both obsessed with fashion. La Wintour seems to be sizing up Nicki…perhaps for an upcoming cover of Vogue?
