Cardi B in an electric blue Gaurav Gupta gown got our vote for the best gag-worthy outfit to take on the Grammy Awards 2023 red carpet. The singer is popular for choosing extreme but fantastically fashion-forward looks for Grammys night, and this time, it happened to be a look from one of the rising Indian designers on the scene. You couldn’t miss it. The architecturally experimental shapes, the hardened shell replete with curves that hugged the body, and galactic sequins—all are the clear hallmarks of a confection that came out of Gupta’s atelier.
Cardi B’s snug satin bodice with a short train had an unusually cool upper half that really delivered. Sculpted shapes around the singer’s shoulders and head did the job of causing a commotion on the Grammy Awards 2023 carpet in true Cardi style. It’s clearly a match made in heaven between Gupta and Cardi. The singer has always managed to make a statement. Consider her iconic Mugler couture number inspired by the archives that she wore in 2019. So when Cardi asked for drama, theatre and pure fashion for the Grammy’s red carpet, Gupta delivered in a sensational zingy blue number. With the outfit doing most of the talking, the ‘Up’ singer kept it simple with a pair of diamond earrings and a loose updo to finish off the look.
The custom outfit comes as a modified version of one of Gupta’s pieces from his SS23 couture collection revealed in Paris just last month. This was also the first time Gupta showed his clothes on the Haute Couture calendar. But apart from his runway moments, Gupta is slowly becoming a red-carpet staple. Last year, it was Meghan Thee Stallion who took to the red carpet in a Gaurav Gupta dress, launching the designer with a flourish into international waters.
