Cardi B Brings Old Hollywood Glamour to 2025 Grammys in Fierce Couture Gown Covered in Beads, Sequins and Feathers

Cardi B is stepping out in style at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

Styled by Kollin Carter, the "Bodak Yellow" rapper — who welcomed her third child only six months ago — wore a custom one-shoulder Roberto Cavalli Couture mermaid gown hand-embroidered with beads and sequins arranged in a pattern inspired by a tiger's stripes. The curve-hugging dress also featured multicolored feathers on the train and d boa that Cardi ditched for photos.

For glam, the mom of three, 32, wore an old Hollywood-style bob with curls, brown-tone makeup and a long nails with jagged black French tips.

This year, Cardi is nominated for best rap performance for her single "Enough (Miami)" from her upcoming sophomore album. If she takes home a win, it will be the first time since 2019 — when she won best rap album for her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, at the Grammys in 2019. At the time, she became the first solo female artist to win the award.

On New Year's Eve, Cardi rocked a similarly sexy dress while she performed and partied at E11EVEN Miami wearing a lingerie-inspired dress.

The rapper's holiday look consisted of a sheer corset-style bodice made of black lace and an emerald green velvet skirt with a high slit. She accessorized her outfit with black lace opera gloves and black pointed-toe pumps. Her hair was styled into long, bouncy waves, and she wore smoky glam makeup that featured colored contact lenses.

Later in the evening, as Cardi performed for the crowd, she kicked off her heels and went barefoot on stage.
