Cardi B must’ve brought her own personal wardrobe rack to Microsoft Theater on Sunday, ’cause she executed a dizzying array of outfit changes for her American Music Awards hosting gig. After causing quite the stir on the red carpet in a black Schiaparelli gown and gold face mask, the “I Like It” rapper swapped looks several more times while popping on and off stage during the show, wearing everything from a floor-length feathered headdress to a luxe purple velvet dress. Oh, and let’s not forget the stunning chartreuse gown she rocked while receiving the favourite hip-hop song award!
