Cardi B’s style team that’s responsible for the looks that kill

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois State chapter.

Rapper Cardi B’s style is nothing short of iconic. From vintage furs, multi-colored hair, to her signature long nails, Cardi is not afraid to take risks. She proved that at the 61st annual Grammy Awards show. Cardi looked like a beautiful pearl and had me shook for good reasons. Cardi’s look took a lot of helping hands. Here are a few people that helped get her together:

Stylist- Kollin Carter

 Kollin Carter has been styling Cardi for over 2 years. He is responsible for Cardi’s most memorable looks pictured above. Cardi’s style incorporates vintage, furs, bright color, leather and more. All of which Kollin brings together.

Hair-Tokyo styles

From vintage pinup’s to colorful wigs, Cardi is constantly switching up her hair. Celebrity hairstylist Tokyo Styles keeps her hair on point. Tokyo has done hair for many celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Teyana Taylor, and the Queen Bey herself.

Makeup- Erika LaPearl

Erika Lapearl keeps Cardi’s face beat for the gawds. Erika makes Cardi’s makeup pop without clashing with the rest of her outstanding style pieces. For Cardi’s Grammy makeup, Erika says she “wanted her makeup not overpowering, but subtle. I wanted a softer, sexier look” on her instagram post of the look.

Nails- Jenny Bui

No matter how poppin’ she gets, Cardi still rocks with Jenny from the block. Jenny Bui has been Cardi’s nail tech for years. Jenny, known as the “Queen of Bling”, keeps Cardi’s nails long and iced out. Cardi’s Grammy nails featured over 100 Swarovski crystals!

Congrats to Cardi B on her Grammy win for best rap album. I cannot wait to see some more iconic looks in the future. Okurr! Watch a video of Cardi getting ready for the Grammy’s here!
