Cardi B showed up at the 2019 Met Gala carpet wearing a Thom Browne gown that used 44 carats worth of rubies valued at $250,000 as nipple covers.
The high-necked gown encircled the rapper’s head and had sleeves that went all the way to her fingertips. The gown extended outward in concentric circles for about ten feet.
According to Vogue, the dress was made from tulle and silk organza decorated with 30,000 burned and dyed coque feathers. It took 35 people more than 2,000 hours to create, and it’s finished off with a bugle-bead headpiece that Browne made in collaboration with Stephen Jones.
“I designed this dress for Cardi specifically because she has the ultimate beauty in a woman’s body, and that is what the dress is about for me: taking advantage of that beauty,” Browne told Vogue.
