"Who Is This?": Nicki Minaj's Dramatic New Look Triggers Explosive Reactions

Nicki Minaj, who shared the stage with U.S. President Donald Trump during the rollout of Trump Accounts on January 28, attended another high-profile event for him on Wednesday, February 18, debuting a revamped look.

Minaj was announced as a speaker at the invitation-only World Liberty Forum a day earlier via a tweet stating she would "be exploring how artists are becoming entrepreneurs." In response, Minaj said attending the event would be her "honor."

However, as she arrived at the event yesterday, she generated more buzz for her appearance than for her entrepreneurial remarks.

"She is looking fabulous," one netizen commented under her picture, while another asked, "Who is this?"

The WLF, which took place at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, supported World Liberty Financial, a crypto business in which the Trump family reportedly holds a 38 percent stake.

At the event, the decentralized finance network unveiled a partnership with Apex Group, a global financial service provider.

The partnership could help mainstream the company's digital currency, USD1, and includes plans to use it to finance new Trump-branded floating villas in the Maldives.

Minaj, who sported ultra straight black hair when she met Trump earlier this year, flaunted a combination of warm blonde and golden locks at the recent event. She also replaced her eccentric furry white coat with business-casual attire.

Her wardrobe choice for the WLF gathering included a white tank top layered under a metallic jacket, paired with blue baggy pants.

Minaj, who said she is the "president's number one fan" last month, reiterated her "love" for him at the event as she discussed her nail company Pink Friday Nails.

She also recounted visiting his "merch room," saying she was sent home with a Trump-signed Bible, scarves, and perfume.

Minaj's remarks, however, were overshadowed by her look, which divided social media

"She looks like a clown," a critic said, while another added, "Nicki Minaj looks like one of the barnished Salem witches."

"Out here looking like Erica Kirk now," a third commented.

"Why is she giving her Republican sister Tate McRae?" added a fourth.

"The MAGA face has taken over," the next echoed.

One detractor expressed that they realized Minaj "turned MAGA in order to get event invites and appearances again because the industry turned their back on her and stopped inviting her anywhere."

Minaj's fans were quick to defend both her look and her relevance.

"I love this hair, OMG," one said, while another added, "She really does get finer over time."

"She is moving toward politics now," a third said.

Trump hosted leaders from the Black community to mark Black History Month at his official residence on the same day as the WLF event. In his speech at the gathering, he named Mike Tyson, Nicki Minaj, and others as his friends of color.

"Mike Tyson, boy, I tell you, Mike has been loyal to me. Whenever they come out, they say, 'Trump is a racist,' but Mike Tyson goes, 'He is not a racist; he is my friend,'" Trump said.

"He has been there from the beginning, in good times and bad. But Mike Tyson is a great guy, and he has been so loyal. Always been loyal."

About Minaj, the president said, "I love Nicki Minaj. She was here a couple of weeks ago. She is so beautiful. I said, 'Nicki, you are so beautiful.'"

He further shared how Minaj did not want to talk about the length of her nails, saying, "Her nails are that long. I said, 'Nicki, are they real?' She did not want to get into that."

Trump's comments led some netizens to believe he has a crush on Minaj, as one said he spoke about the rapper "like he isn't a married man."

Another advised, "Just say it with your heart — you love her."

"She's tryna be so white," a critic noted about Minaj's new look

The Studio's costume designer, Kameron Lennox, reveals that Catherine O'Hara paid for the crew members' restaurant bill while in Las Vegas

"She really understood everybody's role and was just a very kind-hearted person," Lennox told PEOPLE at the 28th Costume Designers Guild Awards on Thursday, Feb. 12

O'Hara died on Friday, Jan. 30, at the age of 71

The Studio's costume designer, Kameron Lennox, is recalling a sweet moment Catherine O'Hara shared with the show's crew when filming in Las Vegas.

Speaking exclusively with PEOPLE at the 28th Costume Designers Guild Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday, Feb. 12, Lennox shared her favorite memory of working with the late actress.

"We had a lot of great memories, but the one that I've been telling a lot lately is when we were shooting in Vegas last year, we were shooting for two weeks, living inside a casino, filming inside of a casino," Lennox said. "Nobody left the casino. It was like 110 degrees outside. And so we would all kind of find each other at different restaurants."

"A group of us went to dinner one night, and she was at another table with other crew members having dinner. And then she saw us, spotted us, came over, said hello, and then they left. And then when we went to go get the bill, she had paid our bill," she continued.

Lennox, who received the award for Excellence in Contemporary Television at the ceremony, noted that the simple gesture was "very sneaky, sweet."

She continued, "I'm like, 'You're so sneaky and sweet.' But just that gesture alone, it's like she really understood everybody's role and was just a very kind-hearted person."

O'Hara starred as Patty Leigh, a former studio head at the fictional Continental Pictures who was replaced by her protégé, Seth Rogen's Matt Remick, on the hit Apple TV comedy The Studio.

The legendary comedian, known for roles in Beetlejuice, Home Alone and Schitt's Creek, died on Friday, Jan. 30, at the age of 71. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health confirmed that O'Hara died after suffering from a pulmonary embolism, according to a death certificate obtained by PEOPLE. Rectal cancer was listed as the underlying cause of embolism.

Lennox said filming season two of The Studio has been bittersweet after O'Hara's death. "Coming back for [the] second season, everything just felt like, 'Oh, we're home again.' But this, especially, it's been hard on everybody. Yeah. It's been a rough go at it."

Following her death, Rogen penned an emotional tribute to O'Hara and posted a candid moment of O'Hara giggling behind his back on Instagram. In his caption, the creator and director of the show expressed his sadness over the news.

"I told O'Hara when I first met her I thought she was the funniest person I'd ever had the pleasure of watching on screen," Rogen wrote. "Home Alone was the movie that made me want to make movies."

He added, "Getting to work with her was a true honour. She was hysterical, kind, intuitive, generous… she made me want to make our show good enough to be worthy of her presence in it. This is just devastating. We're all lucky we got to live in a world with her in it."

Heidi Klum and Diplo's new song "Red Eye" is out now

Klum, the unofficial Queen of Halloween, tells PEOPLE about why she hasn't made a spooky anthem yet

Diplo shares his thoughts on the idea — and who else he wants to see her collaborate with on music

Why hasn't Heidi Klum released a Halloween song yet?

The unofficial Queen of Halloween turns heads every October with elaborate costumes (from Medusa to a worm and beyond) at her annual Heidiween party in New York City, and she loves to make music every now and then — including her recent Diplo collaboration "Red Eye" for Germany's Next Topmodel.

But despite dropping the Christmas single "Wonderland" back in 2006, she hasn't gotten around to making a spooky anthem just yet.

"Ooh, see, maybe this is our new something that we should work on together," Klum tells Diplo in a recent interview with PEOPLE.

"I love that idea," agrees Diplo, who shares that his favorite Halloween song is the Cramps' "Goo Goo Muck" from 1981. "I just love that era of music. Kind of silly, but it's an Addam's Family kind of thing. It's a timeless record. I really like that kind of garage-y Halloween."

"Yeah," adds Klum. "Maybe this needs to be our new goal because this is definitely a hole in the marketplace."

"I could for sure make you one," says Diplo. "I think we just gotta get the Wednesday TV show to put it on and then we're set. Or Stranger Things. I think that's over, but we just need it in a TV show and then it'll rock."

Beyond making "Red Eye" together and dreaming of a potential Halloween collaboration, Diplo also has some ideas about Klum's future music.

In addition to making another song with the Project Runway host and "another cool DJ," the Major Lazer artist suggests, "You should work with NBA YoungBoy or something really crazy. I don't know. Maybe like a rapper... Kodak Black. That's what I'd love to see."

"Red Eye" was released earlier this month and serves as the theme song for season 21 of Germany's Next Topmodel.

Klum previously spoke about the possibility of making a Halloween anthem in a 2024 interview with PEOPLE.

"I've always wanted to have a TV show once a year where people can show me their designs, like a Halloween design special," she said at the time. "Maybe that will happen someday because it kind of goes along with fashion, my creativity and things that I love doing. But to do a Halloween anthem, I have not thought of that. That's a very good idea. I love that idea."

Six companies linked to Sarah Ferguson are being shut down in the wake of revelations about her relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein

Applications were filed this month to close each company, according to Companies House, which incorporates and dissolves companies

The U.S. Justice Department recently released a trove of records from its investigative files on Epstein that showed both ex-Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Ferguson kept in touch with the disgraced financier after he had been convicted of soliciting prostitution and soliciting prostitution from a minor

Six companies linked to Sarah Ferguson are being shut down in the wake of revelations about her relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

According to Companies House, which incorporates and dissolves companies in the U.K., applications were filed this month to strike each company — S. Phoenix Events Limited, Fergie's Farm, La Luna Investments, Solamoon Limited, Philanthrepreneur Limited and Planet Partners Productions Limited — from the register.

Ferguson, 66, the ex-wife of the former Prince Andrew, is listed as the sole director of the six companies, according to documents reviewed by PEOPLE. No creditors are owed money, PEOPLE understands.

The nature of each business is unclear. S. Phoenix Events Limited is described on the Companies House website as being related to public relations and communications, while Fergie's Farm is said to be a retail business.

At press time, Ferguson's whereabouts were unknown following Andrew's arrest on Thursday, Feb. 19, his 66th birthday, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The Thames Valley Police confirmed it was investigating a complaint alleging that Andrew shared confidential information with Epstein while serving as a British trade envoy.

The U.S. Justice Department recently released a trove of records from its investigative files on Epstein. The files show that both Andrew, who was stripped of his royal titles amid renewed scrutiny of his ties to Epstein, and Ferguson kept in touch with the disgraced financier long after he had been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008. Both had claimed to have cut off contact with Epstein.

In a May 2010 email exchange recently released by the Justice Department, the former Duchess of York said she "desperately" needed money and suggested that Epstein hire her to work as his house assistant.

In another email, dated Aug. 3, 2009, Ferguson thanked Epstein for apparently helping her with brand deals.

"In just one week, after your lunch, it seems the energy has lifted," the email stated. "I have never been more touched by a friends kindness than your compliment to me infront of my girls. Thank you Jeffrey for being the brother I have always wished for."

A representative for Ferguson previously declined PEOPLE's request for comment about the emails. The former Duke of York has always denied wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.

Epstein died by suicide in August 2019 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
