Her outfits are often as outrageous and fun as the Harajuku Girls in Japan, which she regularly appears to channel. And now Nicki Minaj is posing in her very own fun Tokyo-inspired photo shoot for Teen Vogue.

The 30-year-old American Idol judge is seen in several different cartoonish outfits that also have a sexy twist. In images from the shoot and behind-the-scenes video, Nicki is seen busting out of a tight-fitting corset as she preens and pouts in front of a Hello Kitty hand mirror.
