You Probably Didn’t Even Notice Cardi B’s Wardrobe Malfunction at the Grammys

It was Cardi B’s night at the 2019 Grammys. First, she turned heads in vintage Thierry Mugler (a gown that required its own support team). She then went on to snag her first Grammy, winning for Best Rap Album and becoming the first solo female to do so. Damn.

She also completely shut it down with a rendition of “Money,” commanding the stage in a semi-transparent, feathered leopard catsuit and plenty of diamonds. While we were entranced by her performance, we hardly noticed that she actually suffered a minor wardrobe malfunction mid-song.

Exhibit A: See the necklace? (How could you miss it?) It actually fell off right after Cardi hopped down from that bedazzled piano…and she just kept going. Didn’t even bat an eyelash.

(You can watch it happen here, around the 1:53 mark.)

Behold, no necklace. As one Twitter user put it

Cardi B: *raps about having diamonds on her neck*

Diamond necklace: *falls off*
