Nicki Minaj puts on a hair-raising display

The flamboyant Super Bass star dressed in a futuristic getup as she took to the stage to help open up the NBA All-Star Game in Florida, USA.

She wore a lime green wig for her first song, followed by purple and pink curly wigs for the rest of her zany routine.

Wearing a skin-tight white catsuit embellished with metallic cuffs and glittery ruffles, the Trinidadian-born singer-cum-rapper belted a number of hits including Super Bass and Moment 4 Life.

Green queen ... Nicki Minaj

Clutching a pink glittery microphone, she sported candy-pink lips, electric-blue eyeshadow and wore a bold statement ring reading "QUEEN".

Backed by topless male dancers wearing flashy silver trousers and white lace up boots, her space-age ensemble could have had something to do with the theme of her up-tempo new release, Starships.
