Cardi B has nothing to hide!
The “WAP” rapper, 32, hit the streets of New York City and debuted her baby bump for the first time in a stylish — and sexy! — ensemble that was perfect for a night on the town.
The star was spotted arriving to the Highlight Room in New York City on Sept. 18 in a bump-baring black lace catsuit accessorized with a pearl bra and pearl chains around her hips.
The pearl bralette covered up the rapper’s chest and featured row after row of iridescent beads. The bralette also featured a row of chains beneath the cups, with dangling pearls that created a teardrop effect down the row of chains.

Beneath her baby bump — which was visible through the lace of the catsuit — Cardi also accessorized with a pearl belt that had multiple rows of oversize pearls that cascaded down the sides of her hips. She accessorized with even more pearls, wearing a pearl choker and other jewels.
The rapper also went bold with her glam for the evening, wearing a platinum blonde wig with bombshell curls. She completed her look with bold eyelashes and sharp winged eyeliner.

The look marks the first time that Cardi has shown off her fourth pregnancy after revealing in a Sept. 17 interview on CBS Mornings that she and boyfriend Stefon Diggs are expecting a child together.
“I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs,” Cardi B told anchor Gayle King during the pre-taped interview. “I’m happy … I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong, very powerful that I’m doing all this work — but I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby.”
Cardi also used the television appearance to gush about her relationship with Diggs ahead of welcoming their child together.
“Me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other. We’re like in the same space in our careers,” she said. “I feel like we’re really great and one of the best at what we do. And me and him think the same way. ‘Yeah, you’re one of the greatest, but what’s next. What are we doing again? We have to do it again, all the time.’ We’re never, like, comfortable. We just have to keep going it and that’s just what we are.”
Prior to revealing her pregnancy news, Cardi concealed her baby bump with distracting prints and oversize coats.
The star made a surprise appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Sept. 16 to promote her new album, Am I the Drama?, and hit the sound stage in a pale blue-gray ostrich-feather coat and silver peep-toe platform heels.
