Cardi B took the stage to present the award for best rap album to Kendrick Lamar for “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers” at the 2023 Grammy Awards tonight in Los Angeles.
Cardi attended alongside fellow musician and husband Offset. She will also be performing alongside other A-List performers, including Shawn Mendes, Janelle Monae and more.
Stepping into the future, Cardi’s on-stage ensemble was made of mirrored shards situated in every direction that was strung loosely together. In addition to her structural garment, Cardi donned a matching headpiece also made of silver chainmail and those same shard-shaped mirrored pieces, the metallic headpiece shielding the rapper’s eyes.

Lifting herself to new heights, Cardi sported a daring pair of chrome peep-toe platform heels that added a major boost to the “Money” songstress’ look. The platform pair featured chunky soles, thick sturdy straps, rounded toes and towering block heels reaching around 6 inches in height.

Before she took the stage, Cardi wore a sculptural bright cobalt blue gown from Gaurav Gupta featuring a lengthy train. The garment featured geometric cutouts and fabric that stood stiff but flowed like water, shrouding her features like a veil would. The structural bodice was followed by those aforementioned cutouts and an equally flowing skirt with an ultra-tailored fit. Her shoes were not visible.
