Cardi B's Best Red Carpet Looks Prove That She's A True Icon In The Making

Cardi's SIX awards almost overshadow the purple Moschino dress she's wearing here, but not quite. Featuring plenty of sexy cutouts, intricate draping, glitzy gemstones, a one-shoulder neckline, and a bright violet hue to boot, this look has a lot going on. Leave it to Cardi to pull it off with ease.

Earlier in the night at the 2019 BBMAs, Cardi arrived to the event in a canary yellow two-piece. Similarly featuring colorful gemstones and creative draping, it was also crafted by Moschino, a brand known for not taking fashion too seriously. Which do you prefer?

Now this is a lewk! Designed by Thom Browne, the comforter-like dress made an inevitable statement at the 2019 Met Gala. As you can imagine, it looked all kinds of gorgeous and dramatic as it glazed up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Best dressed of the night? Certainly one of them.

This. Vintage. Mugler. Look! A blatant reference to Botticelli's famed Birth of Venus painting, the dress featured a seashell-like skirt, strands upon strands of pearl detailing, and a shimmery scale-like bodice. Cardi looked like a true work of art.

All buttoned up! This extremely elegant and classic gown made Cardi look every part the music royalty she is. Featuring a double breasted design complete with pockets and a strapless neckline, it exuded old Hollywood glamour.

The real-life version of the flamenco emoji! I don't know what's better, the tiers upon tiers of fiery ruffles or the intricate silver necklace.

This look reminds me of an angel thanks to its sleeves that billow out and then downwards like wings. Their dramatic effect perfectly contrast the dress' short hemline, while a single white rose accessorizes the look brilliantly and unexpectedly.

#Queen. Cardi certainly made an impression at her first Met Gala, cementing herself as a style maven to watch for years to come. Wearing a pearl and gemstone-encrusted dress by Moschino complete with an enormous train and renaissance-inspired headpiece, the rapper was a total vision.

It doesn't matter what season Cardi wore this dress in — these florals will always be groundbreaking. Part-costume, part-couture masterpiece, this dress boasted a lace-up bodice and full, gathered skirt, which was dotted with fabric flowers and boasted a victorian appeal. The hat and floral shoes were the sartorial cherries on top (and bottom).

This look is one of Cardi's tamer outfits and goes to show that the rapper has extremely versatile style. the dramatic V neckline allowed her pixie cut to take center stage.

Cardi had her Cinderella moment, and it might've been better than the actual princess'.

Who knew a fishnet dress could look so positively elegant? Adorned with shimmering sequins and a drop feather skirt, this look is wearable va va voom.

If Cardi B was a superhero this would be her super suit. Featuring a bottom that's half-pants, half-skirt, as well as a top with a Madonna-like silhouette, this look is all kinds of edgy and fresh.

A power suit for a power woman. If the shoe fits!

This dress brings me back to the red carpets of the '90s, and I am here for it! Composed of silver sequins and silver chains, it's equal parts artistic and sexy — Cardi in a nutshell.
