Cardi B made a statement at the MTV Video Music Awards by flaunting her signature style. The rapper, known for her hit song “Bodak Yellow,” graced the red carpet in a custom-made floor-length gown and arm cuffs adorned with silver hairpins and pearls, designed by Dilara Findikoglu. Her pin-straight waist-length hair added to her glamorous look.
As a performer, Cardi B is accustomed to extravagant outfits and aims to bring her creative vision to life through her clothes and pictures. She has previously showcased her fashion sense at the 2023 Grammys and Met Gala events where she wore complex structured gowns and unique show-stopping dresses. Her afterparty look was equally stunning.
The nominations for the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards have been announced and it’s no surprise that Taylor Swift, SZA, Miley Cyrus, and other big names are leading the pack. Additionally, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are set to perform their new song “Bongos” at the awards show, marking their first performance together since the 2021 Grammy Awards where they performed “WAP.” At the 2021 VMAs, “WAP” received five nominations including song of the summer, song of the year, best collaboration, best hip-hop, and video of the year. Despite the competition, Cardi and Megan are expected to bring their A-game to the stage and deliver a performance that will blow the audience away.
In an interview with MTV, Cardi B shared how much hip-hop means to her as a proud native of the Bronx. She believes that hip-hop was created to give voice to the struggles and pain that people in her community face. As someone whose life and culture are intertwined with the Bronx, she recognizes that without hip-hop, she wouldn’t be where she is today. Apart from their collaboration on “WAP,” both Cardi and Megan Thee Stallion are nominated for separate awards at this year’s VMAs. The two rappers will also be performing alongside other musicians such as Demi Lovato, Doja Cat, and Lil Wayne, among others.
