Rapper Cardi B’s dress was so bulky that it needed 9 men to carry it around to help her perform at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York on the evening of May 6.
When Cardi B went on the red carpet, everyone had to move aside to make room because her dress spread out in all directions, requiring a team of helpers. The tulle design is several meters long, stretching across the auditorium. Nine men closely followed each step of carrying the dress for the 31-year-old rap star, and also helped adjust the hem of the dress to perfection every time she stopped to pose for photos.
According to Dailymail , Cardi B waited until the end of the show to perform, helping her take advantage of a lot of space without affecting other artists. That’s why WAP’s voice also occupied the spotlight of the ceremony.
Her outfit comes from fashion house Giambattista Valli, said to be inspired by the character Ursula in the movie The Little Mermaid. People reported that this is the biggest dress at this year’s Met Gala – a gala with the theme “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”.
In addition to the voluminous dress, Cardi B also attracted attention with her tall honeycomb-style headdress and long blue nails. She covered her body with diamond and emerald jewelry that stood out against the black outfit.
Cardi B always makes a mark at every Met Gala season. Last year, she brought 4 different style outfits and wore them throughout the ceremony.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in March, Cardi B said she always comes up with outfit ideas early and prepares carefully for each Met Gala. The rapper said: “We always think ahead. I feel like the Met Gala is almost like the Grammy Awards. It’s very stressful, we act like everything is easy but we’re really nervous. We always try trying to make sure everything goes smoothly and every image is iconic.”
