I love matching designers with non-designers. Its not about how much your outfit costs, its about having the confidence to pull it off, she told more! magazine.

The 26-year-old, who is currently promoting her album Pink Friday, prefers to keep a good percentage of her look relatively low-key.

However, the rising star admits she cant resist some more classy numbers.

So a lot of times stuff that I wear might not be a name, but it doesnt have to be super-famous designers. That said, I love Versace, Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton, she added. (C) Cover Media
