Nicki Minaj was snapped arriving at LAX from NYC with her music exec boy-toy Safaree Samuels.

She was almost unrecognizable—yes, folks, that's sarcasm—dressed in travel cazh and wearing a simple long platinum wig, a roaring tiger tee dress, bold leopard tights and black patent-leather Fendi boots. Maybe she thought the sunglasses would throw us? Either way, this patched-together, incredibly unglamorous ensemble screams, "Hey you! Yeah, you, don't notice me!" As if, Nicki.

"Starships" were meant to fly, but this outfit wasn't.

The night before...

The singer, who's promoting her latest album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, gave a surprise concert in NYC's Times Square for 1,000 shocked and thrilled fans. Lucky them!

What do you think of Minaj's roaring look—is it travel-chic or not so sleek?
