While many were indulging in the coziness of the long Christmas weekend, Cardi B opted for a different route, surprising her fans with a bold and striking transformation that goes beyond her usual array of ever-changing hair and makeup styles. The rapper revealed a look so distinct that it initially left us almost unrecognizable, resembling an otherworldly ice queen.
On Christmas Eve, makeup artist Erika La’ Pearl shared a video showcasing Cardi B’s new persona, a dramatic shift marked by changes in both hair and eye colors. Styled by Tokyo Stylez, Cardi’s hair stole the spotlight with an epic, perfectly straightened ponytail cascading down to her thighs. The platinum blonde hue, almost white, exuded bombshell vibes, enhanced by voluminous styling at the crown and a forehead-swathing strand for a blend of retro and modern aesthetics.
La’ Pearl’s makeup artistry complemented the gray and silver tones of Cardi’s ensemble, utilizing products like the Mothership I Palette, MatteTrance Lipstick in Dream Lover, and Lip Fetish Sheer Colour Balm in Clear, all from Pat McGrath Labs. The grayish ombré lips were crafted with meticulous detail, featuring shimmery silver and pale nude colors to achieve a gray hue that harmonized with the smoky allure of her eye makeup, complete with a flawlessly executed wing.
However, the pièce de résistance was Cardi’s eye-catching, pale gray—almost white—color contacts, adding an unexpected and ethereal dimension to her icy beauty transformation. Commenters couldn’t help but draw parallels to Elsa, envisioning an edgier version, or even likening her look to the character Storm. Regardless, Cardi B undeniably served a captivating and unexpected icy beauty look that left fans in awe.
