There haven’t been many “ZOMG amazing!” celebrity shoe spots recently, so Nicki Minaj’s MAC Viva Glam campaign saves this week from being a big ho-hum.
Nicki Minaj is upping the excitement in styling, hair, and makeup, and her footwear for the entire campaign was also apparently sponsored by one of our ultimate favorite shoe designers, Giuseppe Zanotti.

The morning of the 15th, after stopping at a MAC store in New York and attending several other promotional events, Nicki Minaj attended the MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam Party at NYC’s Stage 37 later that evening.
Nicki Minaj wore a striped pink and blue dress and blazer set from the Nanette Lepore Spring 2012 collection. She paired her look with Giuseppe Zanotti sandals in the same two-tone cyan and cobalt blues as her outfit.

Here’s a closer look at Nicki Minaj’s stunning sandals:

These Giuseppe Zanotti sandals showcase swirly two-tone suede straps and a cute suede-covered large square buckle accent on a 1 1/2″ platform and a 5 1/2″ stiletto heel:
Giuseppe Zanotti Two-Tone Swirl Sandal, $1,150.00
These sandals cost a hefty $1,150.00. They’re expensive, but if you want to splurge on a pair of Giuseppe Zanottis, these might be the thing.
We hope Giuseppe Zanotti makes these sandals in other colors. We’d like to see them in different two-tone combinations—red and black, perhaps? Or maybe even pink and purple—so they’re really something Barbie Nicki Minaj would wear!
The British socialite and television personality Tamara Ecclestone wore the same pair with a multicolored dress to an event the following month. Let us know if you think she looked better in the sandals than Nicki Minaj:
