" I was just a niggling fleck scared how the moving-picture show were gon na come out . "

Cardi Bshowed off the outfit and prosthetics that she almost wore to the 2024Met Gala.

To this year’s “Garden of Time”-themed Gala, Cardi wore a huge Windowsen gown designed by Sensen Lii. She garnered somecontroversyfor her appearance after she “forgot” how to pronounce Sensen’s name and instead said her dress was made by an “Asian designer.”

In a new video posted on to the platform formerly known as Twitter, Cardi showed a version of the dress that was made in teal.

As for why she didn’t opt for the more colorful version, Cardiadded, “It wasn’t photographing well …It translated different on all lighting and angles on camera.” Indeed, aTikTokGRWM shows Cardi’s team ultimately deciding on the more “expensive”-looking black option.

However, the most significant change that was almost made was Cardi’s makeup. Viral makeup and drag artist Alexis Stone appeared in hersecond GRWMTikTok to apply prosthetics, beginning on her arms.

Yes, Cardi almost interpreted the “Garden of Time” with a full old lady makeover.

Oh, what could have been.

As to why she didn’t go with the prosthetics, she said in anothervideo, “I was just a little bit scared how the pictures were gonna come out. A lot of people, they’re not creative like me. We think outside the box.”

Plus, she added that her dress was originally going to bebigger. “I’m mad at the Met Gala because they made me cut my dress,” she later joked in the video.

So anyway, Cardi talking about making “WAP” while in old lady makeup is an image that will stick around in my head for a while.
