Ellen DeGeneres joined the slew of celebrities dressing up as each other by donning a Nicki Minaj outfit for her show on Thursday, US Weekly reports.
"Let me start by saying my eyes are up here," DeGeneres joked. "This year I decided to go as something really scary--half naked."
"Of course, I'm Nicki Minaj," she explained. "Nicki was on the show a few weeks ago and her shirt was not. She took our show from PG to double D."
DeGeneres, 55, replicated the outfit that the "Starships" singer wore during her appearance on the show.
"Minaj wore black leather pants and a black cardigan that was only buttoned at the top and exposed her massive cleavage underneath," US Weekly describes.
To complete the ensemble, DeGeneres also sported a long blonde wig to match Minaj's hairstyle and bright pink lipstick.
"I got the whole look down. I even have the same shoes on. I think I do--I can't see my feet--but I think I do," DeGeneres joked. "I normally don't wear things this sexy, but when you dress as Nicki Minaj you have to. So here are my boom booms and my super bass," she quipped.
"And in case you're wondering if these are real," she added, showcasing her cleavage. "It's all real."
Capping the turn as the pop star and rapper known for "Super Bass," DeGeneres turned and twerked onstage.
Was the outfit a hit?
Gawker commended DeGeneres for her feat of "the ultimate Halloween trifecta: She managed to come up with a spot-on celebrity costume that's both funny and sexy ... and she did it all without an ounce of blackface."
The celebrity in question was a fan of the ensemble as well. Minaj herself tweeted her approval: "I didn't know Ellen could get any sexier."
