Anna Wintour Invited Nicki MInaj To Carolina Herrera Fashion Show

We were shocked when the tacky-attired Nicki Minaj was spotted sitting next to the always-chic Anna Wintour during Carolina Herrera's Spring 2011 on September 12. Clutching our pearls, we could only imagine the what the editrix was thinking as the two sat pom-pom to shoulder. But, this unlikely encounter was no mistake.

According to The New York Daily News , Minaj revealed that Wintour personally invited her to the show. Gasp! Who knew that Wintour was a fan of the "Super Bass" singer? And with allegations of design plagiarism , the U.S. Vogue editor-in-chief is just the kind of friend Minaj needs.

In addition, Wintour sent a handwritten note on a copy of the odd couple's front-row snapshot that reads: "We match!"

Not exactly--but Wintour's printed frock could be seen as more refined version of Minaj's mosaic monster-piece, right?
