In case Cardi B—a new mother of just one month—kicking off this evening s MTV VMAs 2018 show with a performance wasn t enough, the rapper—a master of quick change wigs and extensions—showed up ahead of the crowd on the red carpet in a brand new beauty look that proved this night is one she ll own.
A scene-stealing dramatic pixie cut framed Cardi s glowing skin, the fresh length making for a bold and sophisticated departure from the down-to-there raven waves onlookers have come to associate with the performer. A plunging décolletage exposure and slit-to-there leg reveal gave new, diva-infused meaning to the phrase "post-baby body," a vibe echoed her high-impact wing of eye shadow, pinkish nude pout, and the set of oversize sparkling emerald earrings that afforded her gamine chop a welcome wash of exaggerated glamour. The lesson? When you re slated to set the tone for the night s festivities, you may as well go all in.
