Cardi B made a glamorous arrival at the 2023 Met Gala in New York on Monday in a look that made a nod to the late designer Karl Lagerfeld and his run as creative director of Chanel.
The rapper wore a black Chen Peng Studio ballgown with an oversize camellia-adorned skirt and a studded corset. Her gown featured diamond quilting, which mirrored Chanel’s well-known Boy Chanel handbags and featured a white blouse and black tie, which was one of Lagerfeld’s signature looks.
Cardi B has made her name known on the Met Gala red carpet in the past few years since she first started attending in 2018.
