[Cardi B](http://time.com/5524299/cardi-b-postpartum-depression/) knows how to make an entrance. At Sunday night’s 61st Annual [Grammy Awards](http://time.com/5525752/grammys-2019-winners/) in Los Angeles, the Bronx-born rapper arrived on the red carpet in an eye-catching look, complete with headpiece.

Cardi, who is nominated for Album of the Year for her debut project [_Invasion of Privacy_](http://time.com/5455075/best-albums-2018/) as well as Record and Song of the Year for her hit “I Like It” with J Balvin and Bad Bunny, is also slated to perform during the evening’s festivities.

But it was her unique fashion moment that made her stand out from the get-go. According to sharp-eyed spectators, she was decked out in a vintage design from French brand Thierry Mugler, dating back to 1995\. Cardi has gone to [Mugler fashion shows](https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/cardi-b-morning-face-mugler-show-paris-fashion-week-nicki-minaj-1202848858/) before, so her choice of the brand shouldn’t be too much of a surprise. But that didn’t stop viewers from enjoying the unusual, aquatic-inspired style, which involved a nude bodysuit, dark skirt and pale pink gloves with a structural, ruffled clamshell design around her waist. To top it off? A crown of pearls, of course.

Cardi is no stranger to high fashion, [regularly favoring](http://time.com/5524695/cardi-b-best-fashion-outfits/) show-stopping looks. Regardless of what happens when the awards are presented later in the evening, she’s already a winner on the red carpet.
