Cardi B Completely Won The Grammys Red Carpet Last Night, And I'm Absolutely In Love With The Designer Of Her Dress
Last night, Cardi B attended the 2023 Grammy Awards as a presenter, but that didn't stop her from having the most ?? "gag-worthy" (to quote Vogue) look ?? on the red carpet.
The Grammy-winning rapper showed up in a custom-made gown by Indian fashion designer Gaurav Gupta, and, needless to say, the internet is obsessed.
People are calling the look feminine, stunning, architectural — heck, Entertainment Tonight even called her "an actual work of art," and they're not the only ones.

She's undoubtedly one of the favorite looks of the night. In fact, I'd call her the best.

While the gown was custom-made for Cardi, it's actually a modified piece from the Gaurav Gupta SS23 couture collection, revealed last month in Paris.

Now, if you don't know Gaurav Gupta by name, you've probably seen a design or two of his before — he's dressed a ton of celebrities already for everything from red carpet events to magazine covers.
Best known for sculptural silhouettes, Gaurav Gupta founded his label in 2005 and has spent the last 18 years carving "a world that is Indian at its core and boundless in its form, merging indigenous Indian construction and embellishing techniques with his idea of the future," according to the label's site.
Gupta's designs have been described as future primitive, rule-breaking, phantasmagoric, fluid yet sharp, and as a dialogue between architecture and anatomy.
