Cardi B's Met Gala Gown Featured Ruby Nipple Covers That Cost $500,000

We can all agree, Cardi B won the 2019 Met Gala red carpet!

The "Clout" rapper took claim of fashion's biggest night in an all-red Thom Browne gown that was embellished with 30,000 feathers and needed five handlers to carry it down the carpet. With the gown being such a statement piece as a whole, one would think the entire ensemble would cost an arm and a leg, however, as Cardi explained, one of the most expensive parts of the look, which was created to honor the female body, was actually the two ruby nipples, which cost a whopping $500,000!

"These are ruby nipples by Stefere [Jewelry] — $250,000 each," she told Vogue on the Met Gala's red carpet. "If I lose one of them... I'm gonna have to sell my Birkin bags." (But seriously)

After revealing how much the focal points of the gown cost, the 26-year-old rapper explained the inspiration behind the fashion art piece. "The inspiration behind it was feminism," she shared. "This reflects the woman's body ... and, of course, camp... We really was trying to make sure that it looked very elegant, extravagant, but not too Halloween-ish. So, perfect dress for me."

Cardi also detailed what Camp, the Met Gala's theme this year, means to her. "Camp is more of being yourself, being extravagant. You don't care if nobody judge you or not. It's you, it's too much," she said.
