Wearing a look straight out of Sandro Botticelli’s iconic The Birth of Venus painting, Cardi B was dressed like a pearl inside of an oyster. Simonetta Gianfelici wore the work of art down Mugler’s 1995 runway. You can see the original look around the 48-minute mark in the below video.


Her outfit was styled by her long-time collaborator Kollin Carter, a wardrobe stylist and personal shopper. She accessorized with Gismondi 1754 jewelry.
