Cardi B Went to Met Gala 2026 With a Fever
The rapper said she had a fever while wearing a custom Marc Jacobs gown inspired by Hans Bellmer and the event’s Costume Art theme.
- On Monday, May 4, rapper Cardi B attended the 2026 Met Gala in New York wearing a custom Marc Jacobs lace gown while battling a fever.
- This year's "Costume Art" exhibition and accompanying "Fashion Is Art" dress code inspired the look, which drew creative influence from German artist Hans Bellmer's mannequin sculptures.
- The gown featured voluminous masses of lace in purple, pink, and orange tones blending into nude. "I'm actually sick and I have a fever," Cardi told reporters on the red carpet.
- Social media users debated the look, with some comparing it to an "abstract form of the human body," while Cardi revealed she would likely skip the fundraiser's after-parties.
- The rapper recently emphasized a shift toward "timeless" accessories rather than flashy statement pieces, urging followers to invest in designer handbags instead of large, personalized chains.
