How to really make a splash at the Met Gala? Try showing up in a car coordinated to your dress.

Her ornate Atelier Versace column gown was a high-voltage, bling-y take on Gilded Age dressing.

The design was covered in tulle and seven types of chunky gold chains, some of them punctuated with Versace’s signature Medusa head medallions.

The house estimates that a kilometre of golden metal chains were used for the entire design, which was ruched in all the right places.

To quote her own song, Cardi was quite literally “drippin’” in gold and crystals, as even the neckline and arms were also fully stacked-up. “Gilded is gold – it’s regal,” she told Vogue on the livestream. The whole creation was a true labour of love: the embroidery alone took over 1,300 hours, and 20 different craftspeople to complete.

This isn’t the first time Cardi has brought her fashion A-game to the Met. For the 2019 camp theme, the rapper brought the red carpet to the Met Gala in a crimson Thom Browne gown that had a ten-foot train, which was made of 30,000 burned and dyed coque feathers (it took 35 people more than 2,000 hours to create). A year prior, she wore a heavily-embroidered Moschino look, which won her the title of the most regal maternity look of the evening. This car-dress combo was one of her best Met moments yet.
