Both Nickis

Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj apparently shared a Halloween stylist that year, which is to say neither of them was particularly interested in subtlety. Miley went with one breast doing most of the narrative work. Nicki, being Nicki, deployed both. The Instagram post made the priorities very clear: enormous tits, barely contained, whatever the costume’s actual theme was strictly secondary. I guessed dominatrix. I think the real answer was just: as much as possible, at all times, no further explanation needed.

The gap between "Halloween costume" and "reason to post to Instagram" had pretty much collapsed by 2013, and Nicki was ahead of that curve the way she was ahead of most curves. She was 30, she looked like that, and if the outfit left something to the imagination, the imagination honestly wasn’t required.
