Nicki Minaj and Jessica Sanchez were spotted on Wednesday at the “American Idol Season 12” premiere at UCLA’s Royce Hall in West Los Angeles.

They were joined by Nicki’s fellow judges, Keith Urban, Mariah Carey, Randy Jackson, and host Ryan Seacrest.

The controversial Trinidadian-born American rapper, singer and songwriter styled a color-blocked Herve Leger bandage dress with a pair of black-and-white patterned platform Christian Louboutin pumps that you can buy at Mytheresa.

American Idol Season 11 runner-up Jessica Sanchez opted for gold glittery Chinese Laundry booties that you can buy at Zappos. While Jessica’s heels are much more affordable, Nicki’s bold black-and-white Louboutins are eye-catching and modern.

Please take a peek at both and tell us who wore the best shoes!
