If you were an A list celebrity, how would you announce your pregnancy? For Cardi B, the Grammy-winning rapper announced her second pregnancy in the most fashionably iconic way. Appearing at last night’s BET Awards in Los Angeles—where she was nominated for five awards (yes! including her chart-topping collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, “WAP”)
The rapper came out on stage in a crystal-embellished Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit with a sheer panel to highlighting her baby bump.
Cardi and her husband, Offset, are already parents to 2-year-old daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, born in 2018. It is also her second child with Offset, one-third of Migos also nominated for Best Group.
Her iconic announcement didn’t just end with the onstage appearance – Cardi took to her socials. Instagram and Twitter accounts after the performance sharing breathtaking pictures wearing a custom sculptural breastplate by Pakistani artist and designer Misha Japanwala captured by AB+DM. Cardi was styled by her long-time stylist Kollin Carter for the occasion.
For accessories Cardi opted for a set of geometric gold bangles by emerging jewelry brand Manluu and a pair of Schiaparelli dramatic earrings.
