Cardi B joined many big names on Feb. 4 for Clive Davis' pre-Grammy gala at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, California, and she stood out with her unique and stunning look on the red carpet.

The 30-year-old rocked a long mullet hairstyle with a form-fitting brown and black leather and lace patchwork dress with matching opera gloves. Cardi B added a statement gold necklace and dangling earrings to complete the look.

Cardi B attended the event with her husband, fellow rapper Offset, to present the Salute to Industry Icons Award to Julie Greenwald and Craig Kallman of Atlantic Records.

In her speech, Cardi B thanked Greenwald and Kallman for recognizing her talent years ago and respecting her aspirations.

She said, as reported by the Associated Press, "Other labels were low-balling me and not giving me what I thought I deserved, but Atlantic was right there respecting me, my vision and my career. Craig and Julie took me under their wing.”

Cardi B continued, "I was very scared, I was pregnant and I was afraid to tell anyone...I was afraid of people who wanted me to decide between my family and my career, because I knew that happened to other artists with other labels. But with Craig and Julie, the exact opposite happened. You told me I could do both and I will never ever forget that.”

Her first album, Invasion of Privacy, was released in 2018 and gained critical acclaim. It also won the rapper her first Grammy for Best Rap Album.
