Cardi B stunned in 3 incredible looks on ‘SNL’ in January 2026
Cardi B is gearing up for her “Little Miss Drama Tour” following the release of her 2025 album, Am I the Drama?, and the birth of her fourth child. In preparation for plenty of stage time, she hit the stage on Saturday Night Live as the musical guest. And it was her fashion moments that stole the night on the 1,000th episode.
Cardi opened with her performance of “Errtime” on SNL in a custom sheer mesh catsuit by designer Bryan Hearns, according to Fashion Bomb Daily. The piece featured a lattice of crystals, straps, and metal piercings woven into a fishnet base. And it perfectly hugged her silhouette like a sculptural second skin. The look was styled with a matching black leather jacket, long opera gloves, and silver hoop earrings. She wore bold blue acrylic nails to complete the look.
While the “Errtime” outfit was a looker, it was Cardi’s deep burgundy latex ensemble that stole the show. The high‑collared latex top featured a dramatic chest cutout paired with a sleek pencil skirt that reached her shoes. Cardi’s glossy and form-fitting outfit stayed true to her signature bold aesthetic. And she kept the accessories minimal to allow the latex to literally shine.
For her performance of “Bodega Baddie,” Cardi paid tribute to her Dominican roots. She wore a custom gown designed by Candice Cuoco. The off‑the‑shoulder design included tiered leather ruffles and an embossed, hand‑painted floral corset, which flowed into a voluminous skirt of white silk chiffon and layered leather ruffles in red and blue. The colors served as a deliberate nod to the colors of the Dominican Republic flag. The look merged heritage storytelling with high‑impact fashion with the addition of handcrafted leather roses.
Given these three looks, fans should be extra excited for what Cardi might wear when her tour kicks off on Feb. 11, 2026.
