Cardi B looks strikingly different as she sports a dramatic bleached blonde wig while joining glam Heidi and Leni Klum and Doja Cat at star-studded Cipriani Met Gala afterparty
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.

Saucy 90s piercing trend celebs like Maura Higgins love & why it makes you ‘ooze sexual confidence' others can't resist
THE nineties are calling, and one of its boldest trends is making a fierce comeback. Once flaunted by supermodels, singers, and actresses alike, intimate piercings are back in the spotlight - and it's not just the younger celebrities embracing the look. 13 13 13 Hollywood stars and A-listers are slowly jumping on the wave, proudly showcasing their daring piercings as the latest must-have accessory. Last month, Kim Kardashian, 44, turned heads in Beverly Hills as she stepped out wearing a skintight black top, seemingly flaunting a brand-new nipple piercing. However, the mum-of-four soon revealed it was all part of the launch for her Pierced Nipple Skims Push-Up Bra. The bra, priced at £80, debuted on 22 May and has already sold out on the official website, with shoppers eager to share their thoughts. One thrilled customer wrote: 'This is my first Skims bra, and I am absolutely in love. The bra itself is extremely supportive and seamless and gives the goods a fantastic shape and lift. 'Truly a beautifully crafted push-up bra. My boobs haven't seen this much height since before kids." A second added: 'I love it! I've always wanted nip piercings but didn't want to deal with the annoying healing process. These look great!' Kim isn't the only one helping to revive the daring trend. Celebrities like Maura Higgins and Cardi B have been spotted embracing the look, cementing its place as one of the year's boldest style statements. Supermodels Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid are also on the trend, proving that the 'nipple piercing' trend is as versatile as it is daring. From red carpets to social media, this iconic nineties fashion staple is being reimagined for a new era, blending edgy confidence with high-fashion appeal. Body language expert Judi James believes that women are wanting to step up and take control, just like in the nineties. 'Piercings suggest sexual confidence, boasting and fearlessness,' she explains. 'The blend of pain and heightened pleasure re-defined women in terms of our self perception and sexual role. 'Trad wife trends and the online revival of traditionally 'feminine' pursuits like jam making, baking and flower arranging have sent us spiralling away from the nineties narrative of equality. 'This revival of the nipple ring suggests a timely revival of girl power though. 'The piercing is a statement of changing and controlling the sexual narrative and it's daring, risqué and even rather brave.' The return of the 'pierced' aesthetic also reflects a cultural moment where people are reclaiming their bodies and sexuality in bold Oriona Robbfashion stylist Whether it's real piercings or clever designs like Kim's Skims bra, this trend is showing no signs of slowing down. Oriona Robb, fashion stylist and brand consultant, said: 'There's always been a rebellious, body confident edge to nipple piercings, but right now they're firmly back in fashion and it's definitely not by accident. 'Kim Kardashian's Skims ' Ultimate Nipple Bra ' selling out so quickly was a huge signal that this isn't a trend that's planning to be ignored. 'It's cheeky, it's intentional, and people are absolutely loving it. 'It plays on the fantasy of the pierced look without the commitment, and that tells us something about where fashion is right now, which is that it's all about playful provocation and pushing boundaries. 13 13 13 'The return of the 'pierced' aesthetic also reflects this cultural moment where people are reclaiming their bodies and sexuality in bold, creative ways. 'Fashion has always been a medium of expression, but now it's less about conforming and more about showing personality, sensuality and edge - ultimately showing you for who you really are and want to be. 'You're seeing this influence across lingerie, streetwear, and even runway collections, where hardware and body revealing cuts are coming back and have been seen everywhere already this summer. 'It's no wonder we're seeing celebs like Maura Higgins showing off their nipple piercings too, and that has certainly helped reignite the buzz and noise around this trend.' Here, we take a closer look at the celebs rocking the nipple piercings. Maura Higgins 13 She's famed for her bold and fearless style, so it's no surprise that Maura Higgins confidently flaunts her nipple piercings. Earlier this year, the former Love Island star delighted fans by sharing a snap of herself in a playful 'no bra' top while out for a casual coffee. The 34-year-old's nipple accessories could be seen peeping through her white top, which had 'no' printed on one side of the top, and 'bra' on the other side. Bella Thorne Turning heads as always, Bella Thorne made a bold entrance at Diesel's show during Milan Fashion Week, playfully showcasing her nipple piercing. The 27-year-old actress stunned in a figure-hugging nude dress that subtly highlighted her daring jewellery. Embracing her fearless style, the former Disney star proudly flaunted her assets. Kendall Jenner 13 After turning 19, Kendall Jenner decided to take the plunge and get her piercing. Unbothered by the attention her choice has received, she has openly discussed understanding why it sparks so much curiosity and conversation. "Having my nipple pierced isn't really something I make a big deal of, but I think people are obsessed with the topic because it seems so unexpected of me," she says. "Before I even decided to go for it, I just liked showing my nipples through some of my outfits; there's something understated, yet sexy about it." Rihanna 13 Bad Gal RiRi has never been one to shy away from making a statement, confidently showcasing her nipple piercing through daring and bold outfits. A fan of sheer styles, Rihanna has often let her jewellery take centre stage in the past. The singer, now expecting her third child, continues to shine bright and prove she truly knows how to work her Diamonds. Bella Hadid Bella Hadid is no stranger to pushing fashion boundaries, often turning heads with her bold and edgy looks. The supermodel has confidently flaunted her nipple piercings in daring ensembles, seamlessly blending high fashion with a touch of rebellion. Whether gracing the runway or stepping out in sheer statement pieces, Bella knows how to own her style and leave a lasting impression. 13 13

Miley Cyrus put on a leggy display in New York on Thursday as she stepped out in a racy corset dress with a fringed skirt. The hitmaker, 32, put her enviable body on full display in the unusual garment as she greeted fans outside the Four Seasons Hotel. She completed the look with a pair of matching brown high heels and several smaller pieces of silver jewellery, styling her hair in messy curls. The star opted for minimal makeup as she excitedly signed autographs and posed for selfies following the release of her latest album Something Beautiful. Miley has recently made several appearances in the Big Apple as she promotes her album, which was released on May 30. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Pink Floyd-inspired album is said to focus on themes of healing, with Miley stating that it is very much a visual album and this appears to be reflected in her recent outfit choices. Miley's latest head-turning outfit comes after she turned heads on Wednesday in a see-through black dress. She wore a simple pair of black pants underneath the floor-length dress, daring to bear her nipples as she stepped out in New York City. The Hannah Montana alum's curly brunette hair was styled in a messy updo and she wore designer sunglasses over her eyes. As she emerged from the backseat of a black SUV, Miley was greeted by a crowd of adoring fans. With a bodyguard in close proximity, Miley stopped to sign autographs and snap selfies before heading inside a nearby building. It was later revealed by a fan that Miley took a subtle swipe at her famous ex-husband Liam Hemsworth during her sidewalk autograph session. A Miley superfan, who is also named Liam, revealed that Miley declared him 'the best Liam' as she signed his vinyl copy of Something Beautiful. 'Miley writing 'the Best Liam' on my vinyl [crying-emoji],' captioned the superfan Liam as he shared a photo of Miley's signature to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday. Liam and Miley confirmed their split in August 2019 and finalised their divorce in January 2020 after less than a year of marriage. The on/off couple first began dating in 2010 after meeting on the set of The Last Song and got engaged for the first time in May 2012. However, they then split up in September 2013 before reuniting in 2016, going on to tie the knot in December 2018 before splitting for good just eight months later. Miley has hinted at their problems in their relationship in her music, including alleged instances of infidelity. In 2021, Miley began dating her current boyfriend, Liily drummer Maxx Morando, who's one of the eight producers credited on her new album.
