Cardi B looked almost unrecognizable as she debuted a striking new look while joining Heidi and Leni Klum and Doja Cat at a Met Gala afterparty on Monday night in New York.
The rapper, 32, turned heads as she stormed Richie Akiva's bash at Casa Cipriani as the A-list stars continued the celebrations in style, with Doja, 29, busting a move on the dance floor.
For the bash, Cardi quickly transformed from her Met Gala look as she sported a platinum blonde wig, looking strikingly different from her signature raven tresses.
Known for changing up her look, Cardi showed off her incredible figure in a black lace-up corset-style gown, featuring dramatic detailing around the waist.
She added to her frame with a pair of black strapped heels and sported a smokey-eye make-up palette as she joined the A-list arrivals at the party.
Cardi looked strikingly different from earlier in the night at the Met Gala, where she had captured attention in an elegant emerald green velvet suit.
She was joined at the afterparty by supermodel Heidi, 51, who attended the event after first attending A$AP Rocky's Met Gala bash at Jean's with Leni, 21.
For the night out on the town, Heidi cut an edgy figure in a white T-shirt, which she styled with black leather trousers and a matching jacket.
She gave herself a few extra inches in a pair of heeled boots and accessorized with some trendy sunglasses.
Later in the evening, Heidi ditched the jacket as she was pictured cracking a smile while partying on the dance floor with German designer Thomas Hayo.
Heidi was joined by her lookalike daughter Leni, who celebrated her 21st birthday just one day before the Met Gala.
She cut a glamorous figure in a black mini dress, putting on a leggy display in the garment and a pair of pointed heels.
Leni, who has followed in her mother's modelling footsteps, slicked her blonde tresses back into a tight up-do to finish off her look.
The pair arrived at the party alongside Guram Gvasalia, creative director of Vetements - who designed Heidi's look for the red carpet earlier in the night.

For the fashion event of the year, Heidi kept it simple as she stormed the carpet wearing an understated black dress with white embroidery on the sides.
Heidi accessorised with a large diamond pendant worn and completed the look with some dark eyeshadow and a matte nude lipstick.
She was far from the only star to play it safe at this year's gala, with fans left disappointed by a host of 'underwhelming' looks.
Sydney Sweeney, Lorde, Emma Chamberlain and actor Tom Francis all wore outfits which were described as 'boring' by fashion-lovers.
But there were some exceptions to the rule, with a select few stars gaining style points for their 'boundary-pushing' ensembles.
Zendaya chose flared white trousers with a tailored button up and blazer, adding a large hat. The Euphoria star pulled her hair back, with her hat styled low over hair.
After a slight red carpet mishap, Kim Kardashian, 44, wowed in a Chrome Hearts black snakeskin corset with matching skintight skirt, flashing her ample cleavage.
Kim's form-fitting cowgirl chic look also put her pert derriere on display and the star paired the look with a matching low-slung hat.
The skirt had a pearl accent along one hip and she also added a number of diamond necklaces for even more sparkle.
Miley Cyrus, 32, also followed a black theme as she flashed her abs in custom Alaïa, rocking a ball skirt with a textured long-sleeve black crop top.
She wore her hair slicked back off her face and opted for subtle make-up, while completing the look with a gold choker and earrings.
While 'not following the theme' is typically a major faux pas, Gigi's slinky gold Miu Miu gown was a welcome reprieve among a sea of dreary dresses and suits.
The model, 30, looked incredible as she glittered in a custom gold halter dress, complete with ruching along her tiny waist.
Gigi's striking metallic look was paired with her old Hollywood curls. The model added mauve hued lipstick to her lovely look.
Deemed the Oscars of the East Coast, the Met Gala sees some of the biggest stars descend on the iconic The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This year's was also the first Met Gala in more than 20 years to have a menswear theme, with the focus being Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.
