Can we crown Cardi B Met Gala 2024 Queen already? She literally already has the crown. Nobody commits to the Met Gala like Cardi, and her 2024 look was no exception. For the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” theme, attendees were asked to adhere to a Garden of Time dress code. Many guests took the obvious floral route, but Cardi B took things a step further by transforming herself into a magnificent black rose.

Whether or not the rapper was among the night’s best dressed is a matter of opinion, but you cannot argue that she was definitely among the night’s biggest dressed. Cardi’s black tulle gown had a mermaid shape, with a fitted top portion and a voluminous skirt almost as wide as the Met steps themselves. Cardi topped the outfit with a tall black turban and finished with massive diamond earrings and a necklace, plus diamond-and-emerald rings and a bracelet to match her jade green manicure.

On her May 6 Instagram Stories, the rapper posted a picture of a single black rose, which gives you a clue as to what the Cardi B Met Gala 2024 look was all about. The skirt represents the rose’s petals, while Cardi herself is the stem—hence the green jewelry.

Since her first appearance in 2018, Cardi B’s Met Gala looks have become the stuff of legends. No matter the theme, Cardi B will make sure her look is unmissable.
