Most celebrities don’t have the luxury of spending the holidays with their families, and this is especially true during New Year. But unlike Christmas, NYE is the time when everyone is out with friends, partying up a storm to usher in a new chapter of their lives. Nicki Minaj is one such celebrity who had to welcome 2016 as a part of her job.
Needless to say, we don’t think she was exactly displeased with the fact that she had to work on New Year’s Eve. Nicki was spotted counting down to 2016 at Drai’s Nightclub in Las Vegas.
Nicki wore a sexy two-piece ensemble, which showed off her toned abs and highlighted her curvaceous derriere. The 33-year-old wore the classic “So Kate” pumps by Christian Louboutin for her rather understated New Year’s look.
The songwriter also debuted her new blond hair — a drastic change from her black style.
Nicki put on an entire performance set but was ushered out into the balcony just in time for the New Year countdown. The rapper bade farewell to 2015 on a balcony overlooking a gorgeous pool party.

Patent nude pumps may not be your typical New Year’s Eve shoe choice, but Nicki definitely knew how to turn something classic into a party pump. Grab these timeless babies from Christian Louboutin over at Neiman Marcus and Barneys New York.
