Cardi B Shuts Down Met Gala Red Carpet With Massive Unfurling Gown

Cardi B showed up to the Met Gala with a dress so massive that nearly a dozen men had to help carry it.

The Like What rapper turned heads Monday at fashions biggest night after she showed up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City donning a dramatic black sea of a dress.

Cardi slayed the evenings theme of Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion with the overflowing gown, which screamed the perfect mix of princess and villain. 

Rocking black claw nails and a towering head wrap, she pulled her look together with emerald makeup and accessories, including huge dangling diamond earrings and a jeweled statement necklace.  

Ahead of the coveted fashion event, Cardi told The Hollywood Reporter that preparing for the event was nerve-racking.

Were always thinking ahead, she told THR in March. I feel like the Met Gala is almost like going to the Grammys. Its very nerve-racking, and even though we make it look so easy, we really be so nervous.

The WAP singer might have had the jitters before stepping on to the red carpet, but fans on X (formerly Twitter) certainly couldnt tell as they praised her for never missing the mark.
