Of course they did.

Cardi B truly stunned on the pink carpet last night’s Met Gala. The “Get Up 10” music maker wore a Thom Browne-designed gown with 44-carat rubies on each nipple. According to XXL, each crafted jewel (by jewelry designer Corina Mihaila Larpin’s luxe jewelry brand Stefere) was $250,000 each. “If I lose one these, I’m gonna have to sell one my Birkin bags,” Cardi said the detailed design.

The elaborate gown was covered in 30,000 burned and dyed coque feathers and included a 10-foot train that all together took 2,000 hours to make. 

“I designed this dress for Cardi specifically because she has the ultimate beauty in a woman’s body, and that is what the dress is about for me: taking advantage that beauty,” Thom Browne said the lovely dress.
