Although Oscars night is all about film, plenty of musical names were present at the Vanity Fair after-party on Sunday night, from rising stars like Reneé Rapp to pop juggernauts like Lizzo. And one of the attendees, Cardi B, stole the show in her archival Versace gown, which looked like a modern twist on a Moulin Rouge! outfit.
Styled by Kollin Carter, the jewel-encrusted dress was purchased through Tab Vintage, and it first made an appearance on the Versace Spring/Summer Haute Couture runway, as part of the Mysterious Midnights 2003 collection. The all-black design featured a bust with three triangles that connected to a studded collar, creating a halter-style neckline. Meanwhile, the bustier bodice was dripping with inky jewels, which fell in strands all the way down Cardi B’s hips.
The dress’ mermaid skirt was composed of two parts, with the top section formed of a transparent fabric in a tulip shape, which allowed the rapper’s lacy floral tights to show through. Meanwhile, the bottom of the skirt was composed of streams of tassel-like fabric that eventually converged to create a train that trailed behind the rapper.
Cardi wore black wire earrings that coordinated well with the rest of the ensemble, and she left her hair down in bouncy waves that screamed Old Hollywood glamour. Beauty-wise, she had her nails painted black to match the rest of the ensemble, and she rocked a smoky gray eyeshadow and a baby pink lip with a tan liner.
