Cardi B’s New Year’s Eve Glam Was Complete With Colored Contacts
On Monday, January 1, the “Bongos” rapper posted a series of Instagram photos from New Year’s Eve, when she performed at Fontainebleau in Miami and took to the town with her estranged husband, Offset.
“What’s love got to do wit it?” she captioned the post alongside a winking emoji—a subtle nod to who she spent the night with.
In the first photo, the New Yorker shows off her appearance from head-to-toe, complete with a skintight dress by Sergio Castaño Peña. In the image, she stands against a wall and glances over her shoulder—the ideal pose to show off her hairstyle. Styled with a deep (and sharp) side part, her back-to-brunette locks were pressed into voluminous, romantic curls by her hairstylist Tokyo Stylez, a.k.a. Mia Thompson.
Cardi rocked skinny eyebrows (a favorite look as of late, which she first wore while making her runway debut for Balenciaga in early December), major lashes, bright blue contact lenses (again reminiscent of the gray eyes she wore last week), and a full face of Pat McGrath Labs makeup expertly applied by celebrity makeup artist Erika La’ Pearl.
Travel down the look even further, and you come face to face with a fresh stiletto manicure, bedazzled the way only a Cardi B manicure can be.
The mother of two first showed off the manicure a couple of days before New Year’s Eve, posting a photo to her Instagram Story from a jet. Painted a soft pink, the mile-long stiletto nails by manicurist Jenny Bui feature a French manicure-shaped smattering of gems and jewels. And yes, they look sharp enough to pierce an olive.
