Over the past five years or so, Cardi B has really become one of the top Fashion Girls to watch at any event. Cardi consistently impresses me with her fashion knowledge and her willingness to wear offbeat or emerging designers. Like, Cardi isn’t showing up to a red carpet in some basic sparkly gown. She goes all-out for the Met Gala too, as you can see. Cardi wanted to have the biggest and baddest gown for this year’s Met Gala and she got this one from Windowsen, created by Chinese designer Sensen Lii. It was an epic swirl of fabric and drama. It was too much, but also perfect for Cardi. The emerald-and-diamond jewelry is fantastic!! Too few women really play around with the jewelry they have access to.

I’m also including her more conventional after-party look, a red corseted dress. She hosted one of the gala after-parties.

Lizzo also wore Windowsen. I’m honestly surprised that Lizzo came out for the gala, given that she’s still being sued and she pretended to quit the industry (only to take it back). This… was not the look. At all. It looks like she’s wearing a cone of shame.
