Cardi B commanded attention as she hit the red carpet at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday evening.

The 30-year-old Bronx-bred rapper — who just released her second collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion — donned a strapless Dilara Findikoglu metallic gown created with hundreds of silver hair clips.

The look showed off the music artist’s ample cleavage and also had matching forearm cuffs.

Cardi, who will perform her new single alongside Megan, 28, was all smiles as she hit the red carpet at New Jersey‘s Prudential Center.

The I Like It hitmaker’s jet black hair was styled in a deep center part and ironed straight.

Cardi, born Belcalis Almánzar, appeared without a flaw as she showed off immaculately applied makeup.

The mother-of-two looked stunning in a face of matte cosmetics that included black eyeliner.

Long, fanned out lashes were placed at the outer corners of her brown eyes and she wore nude lipstick on her pout with brown liner.

Matching her dress was a set of lengthy, square-shaped nails coated in gunmetal silver polish.

There to support her as she takes the stage to perform Bongos for the first time was her husband, rapper Offset, with whom she shared a kiss on the red carpet.

It comes after it was announced on Saturday that the two rap stars would bring their song to life at this year’s awards show.

Other acts who will perform at this year’s production include Anitta, Demi Lovato, Doja Cat, Karol G, Kelsea Ballerini, Lil Wayne, and Olivia Rodrigo.

Nicki Minaj is hosting the show for the second consecutive year, and this is the first time the ceremony has been held on a Tuesday.
