Nicki Minaj rocked a turquoise wig while sitting front row at Betsey Johnson's Spring 2012 runway show in New York on Monday night. Our own Hollywire girls, who were sitting third row, spotted Minaj in all her funky & fantastic glory as she strolled onto the catwalk from backstage to take her seat.

Johnson, who said the new colorful collection was inspired by Brigitte Bardot, Burlesque dancers of the 40's, and Minaj herself, put on one of the most exciting and fun to watch presentations of the week.  The pieces ranged from form-fitting corsets to frilly skirts, metallic dresses and lingerie-inspired babydoll looks.

The highlights of the fashion show was (per usual) Betsey's grand finale! The 69-year-old designer cartwheeled down the runway, causing the audience to erupt in applause.
