Earlier this week, Cardi announced a new single “WAP” with Megan You Stallion, which marks the first rapper collaboration. And, like Cardi, the ad included stunning graphics, with a single canopy of Cardi and Megan dressed in BAP-style buns with gold rings with WAP-themed nameplates. Last night, Cardi and Meghan, despite everything, released a complete clip for singles with a plethora of fashion and good looks that we will communicate about forever.
Cardi stylist Kollin Carter and Megan stylist EJ King have worked in combination to bring this vision to life, from Mugler’s traditional looks to zebra-printed jumpsuits. While Tokyo Stylez and Kellon Deryck have created all the extravagant hairstyles. The theme definitely camp, collected hairstyles and animal prints exaggerated in latex, with an apparent tribute to rappers like Lil Kim and stylist Misa Hylton. Then there were cameos from celebrities such as Kylie Jenner, Normani and Rosalia. We’ve already seen the “WAP” video at least 10 times, here are our favorite looks.

Cardi and Megan didn’t waste their time getting into fashion! For the opening look, the women strutted in their fun houseroom with matching Nicolas Jebran’s pink and yellow corset costumes, with gloves adorned with dramatic exercise feathers in the sand.

Cardi loves a moment of corset! For this crazy animal print scene, Cardi put on a traditional Mugler style with leopard print. But the hair stole the show. The ponytail and chain-to-knee strip were reminiscent of TLC’s left eye, which wore iconic ponytails in the 1990s. Cardi paid tribute to Left Eye in his first coachella role in 2018.
Cardi and Kollin love a Mugler moment! For this laugh scene that looked like a reproduction of the Willy Wonka chocolate factory, Cardi and Megan wore traditional Mugler styles in purple and neon green with the brand’s signature corset with matching thigh-up boots. The images of the duo dancing to Mugler’s rhythm on the neon and purple background are worth remembering in the history of rap.

We can count on those two to make a scary moment effortlessly. While being serenaded through snakes that Cardi claims to be “the funniest and scariest,” the duo sported sexy looks on Bryan Hearns’ traditional python with shoes attached to their thighs.

Adding to the list of animal prints, Megan danced in a traditional Zigman tiger costume. To complete her look, her hair combed with a shaded tiger print that mingled with her bodysuit, was the icing on the cake of the whole scene.

The latex was fashionable in the clip. In their aquatic scene, Cardi and Meg shook jet black hair, curly and rainy and full looks of black latex.

Although there were many cameos, Kylie Jenners may be everyone’s unexpected maximum. He made his cameo by swinging a leopard-print suit with a sunken neck and matching thigh boots.

Normani also made an appearance. The singer (who also gave us an eight-figure regimen in the video) dressed in a latex ensemble from Venus Prototype Latex. From a look at the piece adorned with pot feet, Twitter discovered that the ultimate scene probably encouraged through Naomi Campbell’s Azzedine Alaca crusade of the 1990s. With all the other tributes in this video and Kollin Carter’s genius, we’d say it’s perfect.

Continue the list of cameos (and latex!). Rosalia caught the eye with a brilliant latex piece from Venus Prototype Latex.

Cardi made sure to come with the next rappers on his appearance list. One of them! The Ohio rapper danced in a blue latex suit complemented by an ash blonde bob.

Rappers Sukihana and Rubi Rose also see us in latex looks. Sukihana wore a published suit with Bantu ties and a crystallized bath and Rubi Rose sported a red latex look complemented by a burning-shoulder silhouette.
To say that the dress was insufficient. See all the looks in action in this video here.
