US rapper Cardi B made a bold Met Gala fashion statement, posing with a voluminous black tulle train and matching headwrap.

“This is the way you shut down the Met Gala carpet,” Vogue livestream host La La Anthony said, as attendees were forced to wait for a team of nine staff to fan out Cardi B’s dress at the bottom of the Metropolitan Museum of Art steps.
