Just call her Venus.
Cardi B channeled Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” on the 2019 Grammys red carpet in vintage Mugler.
The 26-year-old rapper arrived at the awards show with her on-again, off-again husband Offset wearing an archival look from the brand’s 1995 couture collection, originally modeled on the catwalk by Andy Warhol muse Dianne Brill.
The dress is composed of a nude sequined bodysuit emerging out of a black column skirt that flows upwards into a large pink oyster shell.
Cardi accessorized with strands of pearls wrapped around her neck, waist and conical hairdo by Tokyo Stylez, in addition to two flower appliqués just below her waist, pastel pink opera-length gloves and Nuvola Bianca 28-carat double-drop diamond earrings.
Mugler is a natural choice for the “I Like It” singer, given that her music video for “Money” recreated one of the designer’s iconic ad campaigns.
Clearly, the admiration is mutual.
