Cardi B stepped out in a lacy, eggshell corset dress Sunday for a much-anticipated cameo at Super Bowl 60.
The game saw the rapper’s beau, Stefon Diggs, take the field as a wide receiver for the New England Patriots. Cardi’s presence at the event, however, was a more joyous occasion than Diggs’ game (a double-digit loss to the Seattle Seahawks). He racked up a total of 37 receiving years throughout the game.
The pair, who confirmed their relationship in June and welcomed a son in November, were not pictured together at the big game. Cardi B did, however, pop up during Bad Bunny’s rousing halftime performance, a subtle nod to their shared Caribbean heritage and musical collaborations.
The 33-year-old musical sensation danced alongside fellow celebrities like Karol G and Pedro Pascal as Bad Bunny delivered an emotional tribute to the American continent and his home island of Puerto Rico.
Clad in a romantic cream ruffled skirt and top duo with a corseted bodice and knee-high heels, her outfit gave no indication of Patriots pride or her tie to Diggs. The look was a mix of designers − her top was Zimmermann paired with a custom Candice Cuocoo skirt and Tom Ford heels. She watched the game from a suite with Raising Cane’s owner and founder, Todd Graves.
The celebration started early in the weekend for Cardi, who donned a figure-hugging black and yellow bodysuit to perform at the Fanatics Super Bowl Party on Saturday at San Francisco’s famed Pier 48.
Cardi B, Stefon Diggs spark rumors with Instagram following
As of Feb. 9, the pair no longer follow each other on Instagram.
She and Diggs first confirmed their relationship in June with a PDA-filled Instagram post, which showed the lovebirds cuddling together on a yacht. The rapper’s romance with Diggs followed a highly publicized and tumultuous breakup with her ex and father of three of her children, rapper Offset. The former couple share daughters Kulture and Blossom and son Wave.
Their romance has been put to the test in recent months amid a police investigation into the NFL star’s conduct.
Criminal charges were filed against Diggs in Dedham District Court on Monday, Dec. 29, stemming from an alleged violent incident involving the NFL star’s private chef. The rapper’s boyfriend now faces a felony strangulation or suffocation charge, along with misdemeanor assault, according to online court records reviewed by USA TODAY.
The charges stem from an incident in which Diggs allegedly assaulted the unnamed female employee over a paycheck dispute at his Dedham, Massachusetts, residence, according to a criminal complaint obtained by The Enterprise, part of the USA TODAY Network. Diggs has since denied the allegations. His arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 13 after being pushed back, clearing the way for him to play in the Super Bowl.
In September, Cardi B opened up about her pregnancy and relationship with Diggs in an interview with “CBS Mornings” host Gayle King.
“I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work,” Cardi told King. “But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, and me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.”
