The Met Gala always delivers inspiring looks; this year was no exception. Cardi B stood out among the stars who graced the green carpet with her unique and bold interpretation of the theme. It wasn’t just her stunning gown that turned heads—it was her entire ensemble, from head to toe, including her impeccable beauty look.
Celebrity Makeup Artist Erika La‘ Pearl worked her magic to achieve Cardi B’s soft glam makeup, using the celebrity’s longtime favorites from NYX Professional Makeup.
The inspiration behind Cardi B’s Met Gala red carpet beauty look was deeply rooted in the event’s theme. Her interpretation of “The Garden of Time” spoke volumes about feminism, beauty, and mortality.

Renowned hairdresser Tokyo Stylez was responsible for crafting her flawless locks, relying on göt2b products to ensure perfection throughout the night. The process began with bleaching the knots on a lace wig using Bleach-It, creating a realistic scalp effect.
After meticulous preparation, including washing, blow-drying, and plucking the wig’s hairline, Tokyo applied hair bonding glue to adhere to the lace wig, ensuring a secure fit. The products played a crucial role at each step, from slicking back loose hair with Blasting Freeze Spray to securing the wig.

Cardi B’s Met Gala beauty look was a masterclass in thematic interpretation and flawless execution. Through the skilled hands of her makeup artist and hairdresser, she brought the concept of the Met Gala to life, creating a memorable and captivating red carpet moment that will undoubtedly go down in fashion history.
