‘It’s B-ruella to you!’ Busty Cardi B slips into Cruella de Vil costume for Halloween bash… but covers up her half a MILLION dollar engagement ring
Her Migos rapper beau Offset surprised her with a live on-stage proposal during her concert in Philadelphia on Saturday.
But despite her joy over the jaw-dropping rock, Cardi B covered up her engagement ring on Tuesday as she attended Bacardi Presents Dress To Be Free Halloween party in New York, where she was booked to perform.
The 25-year-old Bodak Yellow hitmaker dressed as a busty Cruella de Vil, but kept her engagement ring firmly covered amid rumours it is worth a jaw drop $550,000.

The lady herself: Bodak Yellow hitmaker Cardi B turned up to a Monday night New York City Halloween party dressed as Cruella de Vil, but hid her ring- reportedly worth $550k
According to TMZ, the rapper spent a staggering $550k on the custom-made ring, which took a month and a half to make, and was finished just hours before his surprise proposal.
The eight carat stone is surrounded by two half-carat pear diamonds and two carats of pink and white stones, and Cardi has made no secret of her joy over the masterpiece in an influx of gushing social media posts.
But heading to her Halloween appearance on Tuesday, she covered up her hand as she approximated Cruella De Ville.
Pulling out the stops: To add to the effect, Cardi – who got engaged onstage to Offset on Friday – brought along an actual, faintly alarmed-looking dalmatian on a leash
Imitating the way the character appeared in the 1961 Disney animated film 101 Dalmatians, she brought along a real life, faintly alarmed-looking dalmatian on a leash.
What a dazzler! The eight carat stone is surrounded by two half-carat pear diamonds and two carats of pink and white stones
Cardi’s busty ensemble did feature some departures from the cartoon’s look, as she updated the look with her own twists.
While the Disney Cruella’s hair is black and one side and white on the other, Cardi went for a more youthful do, replacing white with blonde.
Her elaborately designed top went elegantly with simple black trousers, and like the cartoon character she draped herself in a massive fur coat.
Yet while Disney’s Cruella wears a yellow and black wrap, Cardi went for a raven and white one with a slightly different design.
She did, however, match the animated Cruella with two flourishes – she mimicked the character’s cigarette holder and scarlet gloves.
Earlier in the night she documented her arrival at the party, taking to Instagram from her car as she announced: ‘I’m on my way to the Dress To Be Free Bacardi party,’ and later vamped in a put-on accent that ‘I don’t wanna be around all those poor people,’ presumably in character as Cruella de Vil.
Inspiration: Cardi was approximating Cruella as she appeared in the 1961 Disney animated film 101 Dalmatians, in which she was voiced by Betty Lou Gerson
Discrepancy: While the Disney Cruella’s hair is black and one side and white on the other, Cardi went for a more youthful do, replacing white with blonde
And getting into the spirit of things, Cardi later posted an Instagram photo of herself inside the party, sitting on an elaborate throne-like chair and holding the dalmatian by a leash.
The rapper qualified: ‘But I will be performing – my accent sucks, doesn’t it?’ she asked someone next to her in the car, who laughed.
‘BRUELLA DE VILLE is on her way!! #dresstobefreeEVENT,’ she captioned it.

Televised: Cardi and Offset are set to wed following his on stage proposal, and it’s been claimed Cardi and Offset will film their big day in a wedding TV special worth $1million
In the 1956 animated version, she was voiced by Betty Lou Gerson.
Glenn Close went on to portray her in two live-action films also made by Disney – 101 Dalmatians, out in 1996, and 102 Dalmatians, which was released four years later.
In 2003, Disney secreted a direct-to-video animated sequel to the 1961 movie, 101 Dalmatians II: Patch’s London Adventure, with Susanne Blakeslee as Cruella.

Cardi and Offset are set to wed following his on stage proposal, and it’s been claimed Cardi and Offset will film their big day in a wedding TV special worth $1million.
According to TMZ, shortly after their engagement BET, VH1 and WE expressed their interest in the couple, with Cardi and Offset set to be ‘mulling over’ offers.
Speaking of her beau in her interview with Rolling Stone, Cardi dished that on her birthday in October, Offset was away on tour and ‘I was sad, because it’s like, “Oh, my gosh, I’m not getting no d**k on my birthday.” But I wasn’t going to get d**k on my birthday anyway, because I got my period.’
In repose: Cardi later posted an Instagram photo of herself inside the party, sitting on an elaborate throne-like chair and holding the dalmatian by a leash
Decor: Behind her was a framed picture of what was apparently an undead girl, plus false cobwebs draped all over the crimson backdrop
Posing up a Storm: Also posing there was Rita Lynn, who had slid herself into a cleavage-baring costume complete with thigh-high black boots, matching gloves and a white wig
