Halloween cometh and the mad dash for the perfect costume has begun. Among the top searches on Google this year is Nicki Minaj, the Queens-born rapper known for her wacky and colorful styles.

Video tutorials have popped up on YouTube, teaching ladies (and men, which would be a really great costume) how to get the Nicki look. We’ve got a recent one after the jump, but there’s one with over 300,000 views. That’s a lot of Minaj running around. A quick search will also show a number of websites dedicated to dressing like the rapper for Halloween.

Other popular Google costume searches include “Angry Birds” and “Black Swan,” which had been our pick months ago for what would most likely be the year’s most popular ladies costume.

And what will Ms. Minaj be for Halloween? Lil Wayne.
