Cardi B is nearing the end of her pregnancy, but that doesn't mean her wardrobe has been relegated to breezy maxi dresses and house slippers. She just shared new images from her baby shower, and the rapper went full red carpet for the event. She wore a curve-hugging blush gown along with a statement necklace and coordinating oversize earrings by Dylanlex, and we couldn't be more obsessed. Vogue also shared other exclusive images of her baby shower, which was held in Atlanta and featured over 26,000 pink-and-white flowers to celebrate Cardi B and Offset's soon-to-be baby daughter. Would you expect anything less? Scroll down to preview her amazingly over-the-top baby shower.<doc-sep>I've never had a baby shower, nor have I ever been a guest at one. But I've seen plenty of these things on TV and in movies, and TBH, they've always looked pretty boring. A ladies luncheon with cakes made out of diapers and round after round of "Who Knows Mommy Best?" Yawn. Sorry, but that's just so not my jam. Which is why I was seriously blown away by the videos of Cardi B's baby shower on Instagram. Because that party was lit AF, you guys, and I'm seriously bummed I didn't score an invite! I mean, I don't actually know Cardi, so it's all good. And for the record, I'm not even all that surprised her baby shower was straight fire. After all, she pretty much mapped the whole thing out for a June story in Rolling Stone. "I want a lit baby shower," she explained. "My baby shower’s not starting at no 5:00. My sh*t is going to start at 9 p.m. because that’s how I celebrate, that’s how Caribbean people celebrate. I don’t like baby showers that be at 5 p.m. in the backyard, cooking, eating hors-d'oeuvres. Nah. Sh*t, I might even drink some red wine!" Whether she did drink some red wine or not remains to be seen. But there was a Bardi Baby Bodega fully stocked with drinks at the party. Check it out: So freaking cool, right? Cardi definitely came through on her promise to have a dope party. The theme of the shower was "A Bronx Fairytale," and the "Bodak Yellow" singer flew 60 people down to Atlanta for the big event, which took place on June 26, and looked way more hype than any baby-related event I've ever been to. ICYMI, Cardi is expecting a little girl. According to the many videos Cardi's shower attendees shared on social media, in addition to the baby bodega, there were pink balloons, hundreds of pink roses, and even a throne, which Cardi happily posed upon with her husband, Migos rapper Offset, who was decked out in all black. OMG did you see him kiss her hand? Name a cooler couple, I dare you. I mean, just look at them! Also, are thrones now a thing? Because I really feel like I need one in my office. And I'll take that whole necklace situation she's got going on, too, while we're at it. The couple recently floored their fans when they revealed that they got secretly married eight months ago. And when the duo made their entrance into the shower, they were definitely giving off that couple-on-top-of-the-cake vibe: I need to pause here for a sec to discuss how amazing Cardi looks in that white dress with all of her jewels. What a QUEEN! She is legit GLOWING, and look at that gorgeous belly! How does she look so incredible when she's this far along? HOW?! And are those ballerinas on the floor in the background? So. Many. Questions. Meanwhile, check out our girl tearing up the dance floor with her little sister, Hennessy: Bet she can't wait to be an aunt! TMZ first broke the news on June 25 that Cardi and Offset married in secret in September 2017. Cardi hit up Twitter the next day to explain why the newlyweds decided to keep the fact that they were hitched on the down-low. "There are so many moments that I share with the world and then there are moments that I want to keep for myself!" Cardi wrote. "Getting married was one of those moments!" Well played, guys! I just hope they aren't planning to keep the news of their baby's arrival a secret, because I seriously can't wait to see that little munchkin (who's due sometime in early July) make her big social media debut. Here's hoping it all goes down on July 8, which just happens to be MY birthday. If I share a b-day with Cardi's mini-me, that totally makes me, like, her great aunt twice removed or something, right? Just go with it, OK?<doc-sep>Cardi B and Offset don't take partying lightly, even when it comes to family-friendly events. The baby shower they held for their unborn daughter was a lavish feast for the senses and exclusive pictures of the "Bardi Baby Shower" have hit Vogue Magazine today. The set includes visuals of dancing ballerinas, the "Bardi Baby Bodega", as well as candid shots of the celebrated couple. Apparently, it took a massive team of 40 people to make their baby shower as sensational as it became. The event described as a "Bronx Fairy Tale" required serious stacks for the floral arrangements alone, which were created with over 26 000 pink and white flowers. The couple made sure the planners kept it hood by including subway train replicas in the arrangements to complement the bougie stylings. Gold and pink trashcans were also part of the decor, bringing the bad into the classy mix that included the "Bardi Baby Book Library." Its bookshelves were filled with titles for children penned by Latina and African-American authors. This new chapter in the couple's journey has been giving many fans so much life as they both continue to excel in their respective music careers. They were both honored at the ASCAP Awards and received more props last Sunday at the BET awards. [via]<doc-sep>1 / 24 Chevron Chevron Photo: Janet Howard Studio. It took a crew of 40 people more than two days to create Cardi B and Offset’s opulent baby shower in Atlanta. The rapper, her event planner, Karleen Roy, and event designer Michelle Gainey of Lemiga Events, envisioned a “Bronx fairy-tale”—or, as Roy puts it, “a magical and imaginary Bronx land fit for the quintessential baby girl . . . only this time there is a plot twist in this lavish story: It’s a magical, whimsical land, but for the culture!” The fantastical setup featured more than 26,000 pink and white flowers, done by C.Wayman Floral & Events. Blooms burst out of 6 train subway car replicas, while others were crafted into a menagerie of animals including a momma and baby giraffe. The true showstopper was a 16-foot floral facade. And what would any New York re-creation be without its neighborhood staple—the bodega? Instead of selling breakfast sandwiches and packs of chewing gum however, the Bardi Baby Bodega contained baby bottles and diapers wrapped in pink ribbon. Nearby was the Bardi Baby Book Library, its shelves stocked with Latina and African-American children’s books like Buenas Noches, Luna and Viva Frida. Guests snacked on custom-made piraguas, sliced fruit, and soul food, while sipping on coquito cocktails and Hennessy shots (a nod to Cardi B’s sister). The culinary pièce de résistance was a five-tier cake, each layer a different Cardi-favorite flavor: Dominican pineapple, strawberry, red velvet, chocolate ganache, and honey bun. In true Cardi B style, she kept her guests entertained. Orchestra Noir, a hip-hop orchestra group, and the Ballethnic Dance Company performed for the crowd. For party favors, the couple gave their guests custom purple baby blankets, a nod to the epic portrait shawl Cardi once wore to the airport. In “Bodak Yellow,“ Cardi B raps, “They see pictures, they say goals.” Seeing this baby shower, that certainly rings true.<doc-sep>
Cardi B and Offset know how to party! The newly confirmed married couple celebrated the impending birth of their baby girl in Atlanta on Tuesday night. The cleverly titled Bardi Shower was full of pink with colorful cocktails, a DJ, dancing ballerinas and, in honor of the "A Bronx Fairytale" theme, a Bardi Baby Bodega was set up as well. A glowing Cardi, 25, opted to show off her baby bump in a light pink bodycon dress with a statement necklace and earrings for the occasion. Offset, meanwhile, wore denim jeans and a jacket with a black turtleneck, a large cross necklace and a studded silver belt. Pink roses adorned the room and an elaborate cake was served to guests. Rappers Rasheeda and PreMadonna, singer Monica, and Cardi's sister, Hennessy Carolina, were all in attendance at the lavish affair. In one video, Hennessy can be seen dancing with the expectant mom and rubbing her protruding belly. In a video posted to Facebook by Cardi, 26-year-old Offset can be seen kissing his wife's hand while she's seated on a throne of sorts. This appears to be the baby shower Cardi dreamed of. Last week, the "I Like It" singer told Rolling Stone about her ideal shower. "I want a lit baby shower. My baby shower's not starting at no 5:00. My sh*t is going to start at 9 p.m. because that's how I celebrate, that's how Caribbean people celebrate," Cardi said. "I don't like baby showers that be at 5 p.m. in the backyard, eating, cooking hors d'oeuvres. Nah. Sh*t, I might even drink some red wine. Red wine's healthy, right?" On Monday, Cardi confirmed that she married Offset in a small ceremony last September. Her announcement came after Offset called Cardi his "wife" in an acceptance speech for his group, Migos, at the BET Awards on Sunday. "There are so many moments that I share with the world and there are moments that I want to keep for myself!" the "Bodak Yellow" singer tweeted. "Getting married was one of those moments! Our relationship was so new breaking up and making up and we had a lot of growing up to do but we was so in love we didn't want to lose each other, was one morning in September we woke up and decided to get married. We found someone to marry us. And she did, just the two of us and my cousin. I said i do, with no dress no make up and no ring!"
