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.
