She has never been one to keep her famous curves hidden beneath layers of clothes.
But on Sunday Nicki Minaj ramped her skimpy dressing up a notch as she performed at the Summer Jam hip hop and R&B festival in New Jersey.
The 31-year-old made sure she stole the show wearing a sheer silver top beneath which her breasts could be seen… protecting her modesty with star-shaped pasties.

Things got even more heated when she jumped into Drake's arms during her performance on stage
wrapping her legs around his hips as he gripped her waist with one arm.
The sight didn't go down particularly well with Rihanna, who remained stoney faced as she watched the display unfold.
Rihanna and Drake are currently broken up, having endured a rollercoaster ride of a relationship dating back to 2009.

Jealous? Rihanna looked rather unhappy at the festival, where her on-off boyfriend Drake got cosy on stage with Nicki
Drake, 27, and Rihanna first dated in 2009 shortly after Rihanna was the victim of a domestic violence assault involving her former boyfriend Chris Brown.
The two rekindled their romance in the last few months - first spotted together in Paris in February - but were reported to have broken up in mid-May.
Nicki, 31, Instagrammed an image of her pose with the rapper, writing: ''Yall gotta chill. Lol this my brother.'

In contradiction to such a statement, she told Vice magazine in a recent interview when asked about her ideal man: 'One day I will run away with Drake and get married, but right now it's just a fantasy.'
And then ironically when asked about her ideal woman, Nicki responded: 'Rihanna. She fondled me at the MTV Awards and the America Music Awards. I love her. She's the best fondler ever.'
The Starships hitmaker, known for her wild ensembles, showed off her silver pasties in a see-through silver crop top.
