Nicki Minaj Goes Blue, Kanye West Goes Shirtless in 'Vogue'

While the omnipresent musical force Adele was crowned queen of Vogue's March issue, she reigns over a court of rap superstars hidden betwixt the covers. Inside the spring 2012 fashion issue, songstress Nicki Minaj is featured (above), seemingly painted blue with cotton-candy colored hair. Also, the picture accompanying a profile of Givenchy's Ricardo Tisci (below) finds the designer draped with his famous friends/fans, including Florence Welch, Liv Tyler and Kanye West (sans shirt). While this may be the glossy's annual ode to spring fashion, it sure packs a powerful punch for audiophiles as well.
