With a sea of black gowns on the red carpet, the MTV Video Music Awards was in danger of becoming a very gloomy place.And then Nicki Minaj arrived.
The kooky artist stole the spotlight and eclipsed the other starlets in a bizarre, cartoon-like ensemble.
With Lady Gaga looking rather sedate in drag as her new alter-ego 'Joe Calderone', the 'weirdest dressed' award was wide open.
Minaj, who took home the award for Best Hip Hop video, wore an angular pink corset by Amato Couture, not dissimilar from styles worn by Gaga in the past.
The 28-year-old added a bizarre face mask and Critter socks and stockings by Tsimori Chisat.
The Super Bass singer added an ice cream necklace, that appeared to also inspire her sherbet-coloured hairstyle.
Accepting her award for Best Hip Hop video for her single Super Bass, Minaj squealed: 'Oh my god!
'Southside Jamaica, Queens, underground female rapper, Young Money, Cash Money... I want to thank God. I want to thank my family. I want to thank Sanaa [Hamri] for directing an amazing video.
To her fans, she added: 'And the Barbz. I love you, Barbz. I love you so much. And MTV, I thank you.'
Meanwhile, Gaga's appearance in drag continued for the entire awards ceremony, and she refused to step out of character to answer questions on her alter ego.
As Joe, Gaga said: 'Well, she's just really angry at me right now. And she said, "If you really love me, you'll go instead of me and you'll get in that spotlight." So I did.'
