What's with the hands? Is she selling a very particular sort of nail polish or is this a Mariah Carey moment where she's decided she won't lower her arms for anyone?

It just looks so dated. The hairstyle, power dressing styling, and I'm not sure what's happening with her poses.

A bit odd, yet interesting that she ended up on the Russian edition!

This is so Pink Friday, but so dated-looking.

Is this even original or reprint? All their covers this year were random models including Groeneveld and Audrey Marnay + reprinted Emilia Clarke on March

As a black person I'm really sick of seeing black celebs with blonde hair.
Nicki is one of the worst offenders. Make it stop sis....it's never a good look.
Why is she even on the cover of this magazine? Are Russians even interested in her?

i think these days it's less about appearing on a magazine to promote a project or reach out to readers but more about having a new high fashion shoot and cover to share on instagram. That's the only logical reason that stars like Nicki go to the effort to shoot original stories for smaller magazines - it gives her validation from the fashion community, notice that she's never appeared on any Bazaar cover ever before.

I also find the choice of hair interesting because Nicki herself has been vocal in the past calling out magazines for changing her hairstyle.

I can believe that theory. Getting a fashion magazine cover, any one, is a triumph for them. They also know that designers and brand execs read fashion mags to check up on which of their competitors are getting coverage. So magazines expose celebs not only to new fans, but also industry insiders. Fashion is a very important stepping stone for the modern pop star.

Nicki use her own hair stylist for magazine shoots, just like Cate Blanchett and many others. Tonchi once complained that she refused to shoot a W cover if her team didn't style her hair. So her guy must've cooked up this outdated mess.

She looks like she’s been photographed mid-voguing.

Of course Russians are interested in her. There is a big fan base of Nicki Minaj. Moreover, she announced that she will come with tour to Russia next year. Russians really love Western culture.

The HQs pics are out, but Im not felling to post here. I sure that Nicki has a relevance in Russia, but this still random and pointless. Its a pity.

Weird question! How the Russians differ from the Americans, Swedish, Germans and other ... Nicki Minaj is a world celebrity and her loved everywhere. Her new album "Queen" is already the 4th day on the top of the Russian iTunes and Apple Music charts.
