Cardi B’s dress at the Grammys was the talk of the internet once she stepped out onto the red carpet. The rapper’s dress featured a nude sequined bodysuit, a black skirt, with huge pink ruffles surrounding her that resemble an oyster shell. She channeled Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” in this vintage Mugler dress. The gown, from the designer’s 1995 couture collection, was originally worn on the runway by actress and Andy Warhol muse, Dianne Brill. Cardi B also had a large gold headpiece sitting atop her head, which one fan compared to a Ferrero Rocher tower. Cardi B’s look caused quite a stir on Twitter. Her dress was compared to a pearl in an oyster by one fan, while another thought she looked like a coffee filter!
Cardi B will be performing her hit “Money” during the ceremony. The rapper is up for a whopping 5 Grammy Awards at this year’s show, including Best Album, Best Record, and Best Rap Album. She made her Grammys stage debut in 2018 with Bruno Mars. She’s been nominated a total of 7 times. If she wins during the 2019 Grammys, she will be taking home her first-ever Grammy Award(s).
At last year’s Grammys, Cardi B wowed in a gorgeous white lace gown. At the time, she was already pregnant with her first child. Cardi B and on-again, off-again boyfriend Offset welcomed their baby girl, Kulture, in July 2018. The rapper pulled out of Bruno’s tour soon after giving birth to baby Kulture. In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Cardi B revealed that postpartum depression was the real reason she dropped out of the tour. “Out of nowhere, the world was heavy on my shoulders,” she said.
