Willow Smith: Nicki Minaj in Training? (Photos)

Willow Smith strikes a pose for photographers as she leaves the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City. Willow recently revealed that her debut album, entitled 'Willow', will be released April 3, 2012. (Pacific Coast News)more pics » Willow Smith (Pacific Coast News) We love it when we catch music up and comers taking a few tips from pop superstars.

Take Willow Smith, for example. The "Whip My Hair" singer is in New York to promote the music video for her new single "Fireball." Smith collaborated with pop diva of the moment Nicki Minaj on the track, which may have been why her street style had a particularly Minaj-ian vibe when she stepped out on Monday afternoon.

Crayola colored hair? Check. Vibrant hued clothing? Check. Wild accessories? Double check! We love the look on the littlest Smith — even though it may be Minaj-inspired, the future pop diva definitely makes it all her own. The music video for Willow and Nicki's song "Fireball" debuts on Wednesday December 7.
