Cardi B channeled an old-fashioned Hollywood blonde when she was spotted indulging in a night on the town this week.
The 30-year-old rap star sported a formidable platinum mane that framed her unmistakable features, which she sharpened with makeup.
Lending the look a touch of glitz with an ornate pair of earrings, the Bodak Yellow hitmaker balanced expertly on a towering pair of silver stilettos.
She slid her world-famous curves into a clinging, classic white cocktail dress that plunged to showcase her surgically enhanced cleavage.
Adding a pop of color to the look with a blood-red handbag, the New York native strutted her stuff to the showbiz hot spot The Nice Guy in West Hollywood.

Her latest outing comes after Cardi expressed her distaste for the bowdlerized radio version of her raunchy song Bongos.
Although the original song contains the line: ‘N****, eat this a** like a plum,’ the censored form of the line is: ‘Eat these peaches and plums.’
Cardi gave a frank assessment of the change while appearing on Hot Ones, a popular YouTube interview show where celebrities attempt to answer questions while eating progressively spicier chicken wings.
When the radio version of Bongos came up, she confessed that she found it ‘So annoying!’ and had just recorded the tamer lyric ‘like practically two weeks ago.’
She recalled that a previous draft of the cleaned-up line was: ‘Baby, eat it up like a plum,’ but that she was told: ‘No, you still can’t play that for pop radio.’
Thus was born the lyric: ‘Baby eat these peaches and plums,’ a modification that visibly drives Cardi up the wall to this day.
‘And I was so over it, ’cause like, I’m like tryna look up like, ’cause I cannot say that. Like, that is – that sounds so corny. Like, that sounds like KidzBop, whatever my s- but I had no choice, so baby eat these peaches and plums,’ she said dolefully.
Cardi is known for her candor about her behind, which remains voluptuous a year after she surgically removed 95% of the biopolymers from her previous ‘a** shots.’

She has never shied away from discussing her extensive plastic surgery, including the operation she had in August 2022 to extract the biopolymers from her rear end.
‘In August I got surgery and I removed 95% of my biopolymers… if you don’t know what it is, it’s a** shots. It was a really crazy process,’ she said that December.
‘All I’m going to say is that if you’re young, if you’re 19, 20, 21, and sometimes you’re too skinny, and you be like: “OMG I don’t have enough fat to put in my a**” so you result to a** shots, DON’T!’ Cardi urged her fans on Instagram Live.
During her pre-fame days as a New York City stripper, she once had her derriere illegally injected with silicone in a basement.
Years ago she shared that she got the illicit buttock augmentation partly because a man dumped her for a woman with ‘a fat, big a**.’
There was also a financial incentive for the procedure, as she noticed other strippers with larger behinds managing to out-earn her, she told GQ.
After she got her basement injections for $800 she wound up in such terrible pain ‘I felt like I was gonna pass out,’ on top of which the implants leaked for five days.
