While Cardi B’s [refreshing candor](http://time.com/5122297/cardi-b-grammy-red-carpet/ "undefined") on the [2018 Grammys red carpet](http://time.com/5119499/white-rose-grammys-red-carpet/ "undefined") made headlines for the irrepressible [“Bodak Yellow” rapper](http://time.com/5004551/cardi-b-interview/ "undefined"), her performance of “Finesse” with the night’s big winner Bruno Mars, also tickled the fancy of the collective Internet.

During the performance of the song, Cardi B and Bruno Mars appeared in full ’90s-inspired regalia that reflected the [_In Living Color_ feel of the track’s music video](http://time.com/5090286/j-lo-on-cardi-b-bruno-mars-finesse/ "undefined"). Cardi, in particular, really leaned into the theme by sporting a custom [Moschino](http://time.com/5013401/moschino-dry-cleaning-bag-dresses/ "undefined") look in bright colors, complete with a long duster coat and a bucket hat.

Needless to say, Cardi’s performance — and her outfit — made quite the impression on the Internet, who thought that the look might have been inspired by a youthful activity.
