Gaurav Gupta is the first Indian designer to dress Cardi B.
Grammy-winning American rapper Cardi B donned a couture dress made by Indian designer Gaurav Gupta in her latest music video ‘No Love’.
The music video features a remix of her song ‘No Love’, originally released in November 2021, sung by Cardi B alongside Summer Walker and SZA.
The music video, released on YouTube on March 25, 2022, shows Cardi B dancing and singing while wearing Gupta’s ‘Amorphous Shapeshifter Sculptural Outfit’ in ivory.
The ‘WAP’ singer skipped out on the accessories, complementing the dress with long, straight hair and dewy makeup.
Gupta took to Instagram to reveal more details about the look.
He explained that in the music video, the 29-year-old rapper represents the element of air and the “the brand’s indigenous sculpting technique” used to create the dress brought “her cosmic character to life”.
The Indian designer shared a post that included a series of Gaurav Gupta and his apprentice at work while making the dress.
In the caption, he wrote: “The whole form is like loops of infinity, amorphous and translucent with very dramatic sculpted shoulders and trails.
“I think it’s a really beautiful collaboration, our conceptual signature style that’s been worn by Cardi B who is one of the most iconic artists of our time.”

Gaurav Gupta has dressed several stars including Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, and more recently, Megan Thee Stallion at the Oscars on March 27, 2022.
Gupta shared details of Megan’s dress, writing that the ‘Fantasy Biomorphic Gown’ was “inspired by a mystical sea creature that transports the red carpet into a fantasy realm”.
The designer also wrote that the strapless gown was “encrusted with crystals”, featuring a “side cut-out at the torso, a leg-baring slit, and a skirt that flows out in larger than life fins that are engineered with the brand’s indigenous sculpting”.
Interestingly, Megan Thee Stallion’s couture dress “took over 1500 man-hours to make”.
Megan completed the look with jewellery from Lorraine Schwartz that comprised blue stone earrings, diamond bracelets and rings.

She wore a gold breastplate designed by Pakistani artist Misha Japanwala in the music video for her song ‘Rumours’ in August 2021.
This wasn’t the only time Cardi B chose Misha Japanwala’s designs.
Earlier in June 2021, she announced her second pregnancy with a picture of herself wearing a mould created by the artist.
