Cardi B made her first public appearance since giving birth to her second child, a baby boy, earlier this month.

The "Up" rapper attended Paris Fashion Week and hit up the Musée des Arts Décoratifs for its "Thierry Mugler: Couturissime" exhibition. Cardi B stunned in a crimson-sequined, ruby-encrusted gown with a plunging neckline, accentuated by a long train and a halo of red feathers. She accessorized the look by wearing long, matching sequined gloves, a ruby choker adorned with large red, pink and orange gemstones, and red rhinestone eyebrows.

Her dress is an iconic piece of fashion history, as it was debuted when Czech supermodel Eva Herzigová strutted the catwalk wearing it for Paris Fashion Week in 1995, according to Vogue.

This isn't the first time Cardi wore a vintage Thierry Mugler dress to a public function. For the 2019 Grammy Awards, she wore another number from his 1995 fall line, a stunning pink and black gown that pays homage to the famous Sandro Botticelli painting, "The Birth of Venus."
