For the occasion, Cardi B turned heads in a lingerie-inspired corset dress and nude gladiator heels.
Celebrity body language expert Inbaal Honigman spoke to Casino.ca about Cardi’s body language on the big night.
“Keen to please, Cardi is seen glancing from side to side, as if checking that she’s getting it right,” Honigman noticed. “Her body language is expressive, joyful, and proud.”
“While the other dancers look straight ahead, Cardi turns her gaze to the side, seemingly searching for feedback and reassurance that she is performing well,” the expert continued. “She is not there solely for herself; she appears motivated by a desire to be a good friend to Bad Bunny and a strong choice for his halftime show.”
“Her hand resting on her stomach suggests nervousness, using self-touch as a way to calm and regulate her emotions,” Honigman added.
