Cardi B arrived at the Met Gala 2025 red carpet Monday evening, opting for a tailored look that diverged from her past appearances known for extravagant gowns. The rapper wore a green velvet suit by Burberry.
The ensemble featured a deep forest green color and included a jacket paired with a sheer ruffled undershirt. The undershirt displayed a plunging neckline.
She accessorized the look with a pear-shaped diamond pendant necklace and coordinating dangling earrings. Her hair was styled in a textured, angular bob, and her makeup featured pale green eye shadow that matched her outfit.
Cardi B interpreted the event's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," with the structured suit.
The appearance continues her history of making statements at the annual fashion event. Cardi B first attended the Met Gala in 2018 and has since become a notable figure on its red carpet.
Her Met Gala looks are frequently developed in collaboration with her longtime stylist, Kollin Carter. Carter previously noted that their work on her 2019 outfit helped elevate her standing in the fashion world, stating that "People who didn’t take us seriously were like, ‘Okay, they’re here to stay,’" in comments reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Carter also commented on their consistent approach to red carpet fashion. He said, "We’ve given look after look, year after year. We caused a cultural shift."
Before appearing on the carpet, Cardi B maintained secrecy regarding her outfit by leaving her hotel under a shield of Burberry umbrellas.
Reflecting on their collaborative goals for these high-profile events, Cardi B told an outlet, “We always try to make sure that everything goes right, that everything be iconic. We want everything to be iconic.”
