The entertainer and fashion enthusiast paid tribute to Lagerfeld's ever-present tux with an ornate black ball gown, created by up-and-coming Chinese designer Chenpeng Studio, that took more than 300 atelier hours to complete. Cardi B accessorized accordingly with a '60s-inspired icy-gray wig (a nod to Lagerfeld's hair), a chic tie, oversize pearl earrings, and velvety black gloves. Like Rihanna, she also incorporated the camellia flower theme into her voluminous skirt.

The rapper changed three times at the event, and each look paid homage to Lagerfeld and Chanel.
