Cardi B is consistently altering up her coiffure, so we have been ready for her to put on one thing extra-bold on the MTV VMAs pink carpet. We’ve got to confess, when she confirmed up sporting her hair lengthy, smooth, and middle-parted, we have been virtually dissatisfied; it is not that it did not look attractive — it completely did — however we have been simply anticipating a extra outrageous hair second. But it surely seems it was was an enormous hair second in a very totally different means.
At first look, we have been like, “Oh, cute, Cardi’s costume matches her chrome manicure,” which was created by nail artist Jenny Bui with Aprés Gel Couleur within the shade Birnam Wooden However we needed to zoom in to understand that this wasn’t simply any costume: It is one thing that belongs in a hairstyling corridor of fame.
The ground-length strapless robe is nearly solely constructed from steel duckbill (or alligator) hair clips. You understand, the sort that maintain your Velcro rollers in place; those you see holding fashions’ hair out of their faces backstage at Style Week. The exact same ones you may get a 24 pack of for six bucks on Amazon appear like 1,000,000 {dollars} when adorning Cardi B as a full-length frock.
However whereas Cardi wasn’t sporting them in her hair, husband Offset was. He adorned the facet of his with head with eight or 9 of the silver-toned clips, creating what was simply the cutest couple second of the evening.
