Shopping for a New Year's Eve outfit? Nicki Minaj sports top-to-toe leather for afternoon of retail therapy at Gucci

It was recently reported that Nicki Minaj is set to rake in an incredible $5million to host a New Year's Eve party in Las Vegas.
So it's understandable that the Pound The Alarm hitmaker is doing her best to find the perfect outfit to see in 2013.
Nicki was seen wearing a top-to-toe leather outfit as she spent the afternoon shopping at Gucci in Beverly Hills.

Hot to trot: Nicki teamed her trousers, biker-style jacket and baker boy style cap with a pair of knee-high black leather boots

The 30-year-old singer wore a skintight pair of black leather trousers, teamed with a biker-style black leather jacket and knee-high boots, also in black leather.
Nicki topped off her outfit with a black leather baker boy style cap, and carried a leopard-print handbag for the shopping expedition. 
The singer added a splash of colour to her ensemble with a slick of bright pink lipstick.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Nicki would be hosting a New Year's Eve celebration at PURE nightclub, part of Caesars Palace hotel, on December 31.

Shopping for a New Year's Eve outfit? Nicki is no doubt searching for the perfect ensemble to host her NYE celebration at PURE nightclub in Las Vegas - a gig earning her a reported $5million

According to PURE's website: 'The rapper, songwriter and television personality will throw a boisterous party as she leads the countdown to midnight and celebrates with partygoers at Las Vegas' top mega-club.'
It is unclear whether Nicki - who celebrated her second multi-platinum album this year when Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded topped both US and UK album charts - will perform during her stint.
The New Year's Eve celebration marks the culmination of a big year for the rapper, who also starred in a three-part fly-on-the-wall documentary series, and was appointed a judge on hit show 'American Idol' for which she is expected to earn between $8 to 12 million.
And the $5million fee Nicki is set to receive for the gig is reportedly $1million more than world-famous superstar Beyoncé is making when she takes home $4million for an invitation-only concert at the rival Wynn Hotel, also in Vegas.
Meanwhile, Beyonce - who celebrated the birth of her daughter Blue Ivy with rapper husband Jay-Z in January - was ranked number six on Forbes' top earning female music artists of 2012, accumulating $40 million.
