“ She just sounds like an spent mom . ”
Earlier this week,Cardi Bstepped out at the2025 Met Galain a gorgeous Burberryoutfitmade by designer Daniel Lee.
Sitting down withVoguefor a candid chat ahead of the Met, Cardi opened up about her look while she was getting ready. “It’s actually more intimidating now because I’m competing with myself,” she began. “Everybody always expects so much from me. Especially here, because they know that this is my department, which, you know, is overwhelming, but I love it.”
“ It just make me interpret like I ’m really a ace . ’Cause only the superstars get invite , ” she say .
Going on to discuss what the theme of this year’s Met —Superfine: Tailoring Black Style— meant to her, Cardi said, “When I first found out that the Met Gala was dandyism, all I could think about is Harlem. You know, when you walk the streets of Harlem, you always have custom, like, stores that actually make custom, like, fits like this.”
“I never really seen somebody but a pastor dress like that, dress real dandy, dress real colorful. Not even just colorful, just, have a little twist to it,” she continued. “‘Cause you don’t really have to have color. You could be dandy just wearing black. This is, like, suits but with seasoning on it.”
Several fans quickly praised Cardi’s understanding of the theme — however, the video also got people talking for another reason. Unfortunately, a bunch of internet users wound up questioning — andcritiquing— Cardi’s appearance, suggesting that she seemed “tired,” “drunk,” or “high” because she was “slurring” some of her words.
“She looks so different,” one comment read. “my girl look tired,” another said.
“what happened to her face,” one person questioned, while another user wrote, “She is unrecognizable. It’s alarming.”
“ Is she high ? ” someone asked , while one more person say , “ There ’s something off . ”
Eventually, Cardi — who is mom to three young children — replied directly to one person who commented, “Was she drunk ??? Lol.” Cardiwrote, “no I was really really tired and drowsy.”
“ She just sounds like an washed-out ma , ” someone elsewrote , while another fansaid , “ liken to other celebrities , she does seem very Byzantine with her kids . The fair sex is tired as infernal region ! ”
