Cardi B stuns at Met in black Windowsen couture gown

Cardi collaborated with Chinese designer Windowsen on a bespoke gown that took two months to create, culminating in a show-stopping entrance that dominated the entire Met Gala arrival. The scene was nothing short of breathtaking. In a fitting prelude to her big reveal, the 31-year-old rapper was shrouded in black umbrellas earlier in the evening, adding an air of mystery and anticipation to her dramatic look. Her outfit, adorned with intricate black ruffle detailing, exuded drama and showcased the star's sartorial finesse.

With the expertise of her stylist Kollin Carter, Cardi B added a touch of glamour to her look by accessorising with luxurious diamond and emerald jewellery. The opulent ensemble included oversized drop earrings, a statement necklace and a bedazzled bracelet, each piece adding to the allure of her outfit. The glimmers of green provided a striking contrast and pop of colour against her elegant ensemble, extending from her dazzling jewellery to her green bottom eyeliner and perfectly manicured, razor-sharp nails.

Cardi B's make-up look was nothing short of stunning, with smoky eyeshadow, false lashes and bold black winged eyeliner, green kohl under her eyes, contoured cheekbones, rosy cheeks and a shade of nude lipstick to balance the intensity of her eye make-up. For an extra touch of drama, Cardi adorned her head with a matching black headwrap, cementing her status as a true fashion icon at the Met Gala.
