Cardi B stuns with beaded bust and GIGANTIC feathery train at 2019 Met Gala... after admitting to post-baby liposuction and boob job
She has confessed to getting liposuction and a boob job after giving birth.
And Cardi B made sure to emphasize both her bust and her enviably trim midriff when she swung by the 2019 Met Gala in Thom Browne in New York on Monday.
The 26-year-old superstar had beaded nipples on her red ensemble, which cinched in over her belly before spreading out into a gargantuan round train.

Her getup was made of a thickly quilted burgundy fabric, which had stitching in concentric circles working its way inward from the hem.
Cardi's shoulders were covered in feathers and so was her skintight headpiece, which distinctly resembled a scuba hood.

The previous night, Cardi had been in Memphis playing the Beale Street Music Festival, where she dished about her liposuction to the audience, People reported.
'I shouldn’t really be performing because moving too much is gonna f*** up my lipo. But b**** I’m still gonna get my motherf***ing money back, let’s go!' she vamped.
Last week, she shared with Entertainment Weekly that she had gotten surgery on her breasts after delivering Kulture last year.

The theme of Anna Wintour's 2019 gala at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art is the late Susan Sontag's essay Notes On 'Camp,' first published in the Partisan Review in 1964.
Andrew Bolton, who was appointed head curator of the Met's Costume Institute in 2015, put together the exhibition corresponding to the gala.

Inside the invite-only Met Gala: Anna Wintour approves the guest list... and stars pay $35,000 per seat
Anna Wintour has the final say over each person on the guest list
The annual Met Gala extravaganza raises money for the museum's Costume Institute kicks off the Met's annual major fashion exhibition -- look out, because the theme is 'camp.'
And the more outrageous the outfit, the better for the Met Gala red carpet, where the A-listers strut their stuff, usually in the most eye-popping ensemble they can find to match the theme.
Last year, Rihanna showed up in full papal-esque regalia, and Madonna wore a regal black gown - with a see-through cross in the bodice - to go along with the 'Heavenly Bodies' concept.

Attendance is by invitation only, and word has it that Vogue editor extraordinaire Anna Wintour has the final say over each person on the guest list.
Organizers did reveal a smattering of names last month -- members of the so-called 'host committee' -- and so expect to see Jennifer Lopez, Bradley Cooper, Katy Perry and Priyanka Chopra.
Wintour co-chairs the event this year with an eclectic mix of boldface names -- Gucci designer Alessandro Michele, pop diva Lady Gaga, British singer Harry Styles and tennis superstar Serena Williams.
Met Gala 2019 theme: So what does 'Notes on Camp' mean...?
Lady Gaga's dream theme! The pop star embraced 'camp' on the Met Gala red carpet
So what exactly is 'camp'?
The museum's exhibition is based on 'Notes on Camp,' an essay written in 1964 by American author Susan Sontag.
'Camp is by nature subversive (...) confronting and challenging the status quo,' the Costume Institute's head curator Andrew Bolton said Monday at a press event about the exhibition before the gala.
'In the end, the purpose of camp is to put a smile on our faces and a warm glow in our hearts.'
Some of the items in the exhibition might best explain the theme: the 'swan dress' worn by Bjork to the Oscars, a glittering costume worn by flamboyant US singer Liberace, a shower head necklace designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld for Chloe in the 1980s.
'We're experiencing a resurgence of camp -- not just in fashion, but in culture in general,' said Bolton.
'Camp tends to come to the fore in moments of social and political instability. The 1960s was one such moment as were the 1980s.'
The exhibition 'Camp: Notes on Fashion' -- a play on the title of Sontag's essay -- formally opens at the Met on Thursday and runs through September 8.
