Though Cardi B has only attended four Met Galas throughout her vibrant career so far, she has quickly become one of the most exciting arrivals on the iconic steps of New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. And especially in recent months, she has been exploring the world of couture more than ever before, with colorful, structural gowns (and classic glam) that are more akin to a work of art. In other words? She’s sure to bring it on May 1, 2023 as well.

While this year’s Gala guest list was super hush-hush, an appearance from the outspoken artist marked her fourth Met. Given the theme was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” many predicted that the makeup looks and hairstyles were going to serve classic Hollywood glamour, with the likelihood of red lips sure to top the evening’s most talked about beauty trends.

In the past, Cardi B rocked a beautifully painted scarlet lip at two of her three Met Galas. When it came to this year’s celebration, her glam team went in an entirely unique direction.

Take another look at the rapper’s ‘fits on fashion’s biggest night out — here are all of Cardi B’s Met Gala beauty looks.

Classic Glamour

Just last year in 2022, Cardi B arrived with a sharp, double-lined cat eye (which closely mirror’s a makeup trick used by none other than Marilyn Monroe) and glossy “gym lips” in celebration of the "In America: An Anthology of Fashion” theme.

Perhaps her most daring look at the Met Gala thus far, the Grammy-winning New York native went full-on monochrome with her ‘fit and makeup. And though her hair was completely covered up, her deep burgundy lip topped off her “Camp” look back in 2019.

For one of the most beloved Met themes — 2018’s “Heavenly Bodies,” of course — the artist arrived on the iconic steps with larger-than-life goddess tresses, a classically glamorous eye, and boldly red, suede-like lips.
