Vogue: Behind Cardi B's Golden Met Gala Dress

For The Met Gala (2022), Cardi B had one of the most elaborate entrances by showing up in a Versace car coordinated with her Versace dress. While she made a splashy entrance, Cardi’s Met look was just as dazzling to behold. 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 kilometer of golden metal chains were used for the entire design, which was ruched in all the right places.
