[mellow synth music]

Met!

[people laughing]

[mellow hip hop music]

When I first found out that like the Met Gala was dandyism,

I just, all I could think about is Harlem.

You know, when you walk the streets of Harlem,

you always have like custom stores

that actually make custom fits like this.

I never really seen somebody but a pastor dress like that.

Dress real dandy, dress real colorful.

Not even just colorful, just have a little twist to it,

cause you don t really have to have color.

You could be dandy just wearing black.

This is like suits, but with seasoning on it.

The outfit is green.

So I wanted to go for a nice sultry, smoky eye.

And so she has contacts.

So she d look very exotic.

The lash is gonna be nice and lifted.

[Cardi B] I m always nervous every year.

We always get better and better and better.

I always learn from my mistakes.

[Cardi B] But we barely make mistakes.

Oh yeah, we barely do, of course,

[mellow synth music]

The look that we re doing today

is actually heavily inspired by the texture of her gown.

We re gonna definitely be matching the aura.

For my nails, I feel very confident.

I already know that Coco bring it over the time.

Certainly confident.

I feel confident on my whole team.

[mellow synth music]

It is actually more intimidating now

because I m competing with like myself really.

Everybody always expect so much from me, especially here,

cause they know that there s my department,

which, you know, it s overwhelming, but it s, I love it.

It just makes me sound like,

it s like I m really a superstar.

cause only the superstars get invited.

I m at the Met Gala and you at the sala.

[mellow hip hop music]

I feel great.

Feel like she looks amazing.

Today, has been a stressful day and I mean-

[people crosstalking]

It s about to be done.

See when she hits the carpet,

it s not done until-

Good? Nevermind.

[mellow hip hop music] [people chattering]

I m excited, I m nervous though

cause there s so much pressure on me,

cause gosh, like, it s like, I know I look fabulous,

but it s like uhhh.
