Cardi B embraces her Dominican heritage in off-the-shoulder ruffled dress for SNL
For her performance of “Bodega Baddie,” Cardi B wore a custom masterpiece by Candice Cuoco. Check out her look below:
The gown featured a dramatic off-the-shoulder neckline made of tiered leather ruffles. This structural top flowed into an embossed, hand-painted floral leather corset that cinched her waist perfectly. The most striking element was the voluminous skirt. It consisted of layers of white silk chiffon and red-and-blue leather ruffles. These colors were a deliberate nod to the Dominican Republic flag.
The dress was adorned with intricate leather roses that added a romantic touch to the edgy material. Cardi completed the look with a voluminous blowout and an elegant makeup glow. She chose a soft smoky eye and pink blush to keep the focus on the vibrant dress. By pairing this traditional-inspired gown with her bold energy, Cardi created a masterpiece of culture.
