Cardi B brought a major dose of drama to the Grammys 2023 red carpet Sunday.
The 30-year-old “WAP” chart-topper looked like a work of art in a stunning, sculptural electric blue gown by Gaurav Gupta Couture, styled by Kollin Carter.
An Indian designer known for his gravity-defying looks, Gupta has previously dressed Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, Jennifer Hudson and Mary J. Blige.
Cardi’s fresh-off-the-runway creation debuted on the catwalk just over a week ago, where it was styled with matching leggings instead of the rapper’s long slip-style skirt.
The “Up” rapper hit the red carpet alongside her husband, Offset, who rocked a white tuxedo with black lapels.
She got her glow thanks to celebrity makeup artist Erika L’ Pearl, who used Sol by Jergens to “enhance” her “naturally beautiful skin tone.”
