Cardi B Wore $500,000 Ruby Nipples And A 'Vajayjay' To The 2019 Met Gala

Couture queen and fashion darling Cardi B showed up to the 2019 Met Gala on Monday in the kind of iconic red carpet look weā€™ve come to expect from her.

The rapper wore a custom, feathered Thom Browne look that included a structured bodice, a bejeweled headpiece, feathered shoulders, sheer gloves and half a million dollars in ruby nipple covers.

The two jeweled pieces, created by international jewelry brand Stefere, were $250,000 each, Cardi told Vogueā€™s Liza Koshy.

ā€œIf I lose one of them, you know what Iā€™m saying, Iā€™m going to have to sell my Birkin bags,ā€ she said, laughing, before explaining the inspiration for her gown.

ā€œThe inspiration behind it was feminism, you know this reflects the womanā€™s body. Youā€™ve got your little boobies, vajayjay, and your ā€• if you see my back, itā€™s like, booty.ā€

In keeping with the ā€œNotes on Campā€ theme, Cardi said that she and Browne tried to focus on the look being ā€œvery elegant, extravagant, but not too Halloween-ish.ā€

ā€œPerfect look for me,ā€ the rapper said. ā€œSo Iā€™m brown okurrrr!ā€
