If you’re going to be the centre of attention on your birthday then you’ve got to make sure you turn heads in something rather special.

Something that Nicki Minaj was going to have no trouble with as she celebrated her 26th last night.

Because there was no danger of the rapper being upstaged as she showed off her incredible curves in a very revealing sparkly body stocking.

The revealing outfit was covered with hundreds of pearls and beads which sparkled under the red carpet lights at the Tao Nightclub in Las Vegas.

And she teamed the outfit – which left very little to the imagination – with a fluffy shoulder pad on her left side and towering bejewelled heels.

She even managed to out-bling the outrageous Amber Rose, who is also know for her outlandish dress sense.

But Amber, 27, looked almost demure next to her friend as she posed with Nicki on the red carpet in a cute pink polka dot ra-ra dress and Mary Jane mesh heels.

They were joined by R&B singer Cassie, who looking stunning in a figure-hugging black and grey Herve Leger dress. 

Also at the bash was rapper Lil Wayne and the birthday girl was presented with a very special Barbie convertible car cake in pink.

But while Nicki celebrated her curves last night in her figure-hugging outfit, her bootylicious derriere has caused problems for the star, with fans such as Regis and Rihanna grabbing hold of her behind.

So when she appeared on the George Lopez show earlier this week, he host gave her a ‘booty protector’ made of barbed wire to stop unwanted advances.

Today there was good news for the Trinidad-born birthday girl after it was revealed today that she is among the highest ranked Google searches in the UK.
