Cardi B just added nearly a foot of height to her 5’3″ frame, and she didn’t do it with a pair of skyscraper heels\u2014she did it with an updo so tall, so massive, so enormous, the word \u201ctowering\u201d comes to mind.<\/p>\n

OK, we may be exaggerating just a bit, but there’s no denying that this was the definition of a major hair moment. Cardi wore the updo to accept the Impact of the Year Award at the Billboard R&B\/Hip-Hop Power Players event in New York City on September 4. Her hair was curled, then piled alllll<\/em> the way up on her head in a beehive shape, with the front portion pulled out to frame her face and give the look a touch of \u201890s Pamela Anderson-esque bombshell vibes. It\u2019s a classic updo on steroids, supersized to make the ultimate red carpet statement while still retaining tons of glamour. And we do mean tons, because this updo is big!<\/em> Cardi’s forthcoming sophomore album is<\/em> called Am I the Drama?,<\/em> so why not bring the glitz with an opulent updo like this one?<\/p>\n

Cardi paired her updo with a strapless, asymmetrical black tulle gown, classic glam details, and a fall-ready, all-black manicure on long, square-shaped nails. \u201cI am so happy to be part of something [hip-hop] that has always been a part of me,\u201d she said in her speech. \u201cEverything I do, I want to be one of the best. I want to be a legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Celebs have been giving us lots of updo inspo lately, so if you’ve got a formal occasion on your fall schedule, take a cue from one of our faves and ditch the blowouts and beach waves in favor of an upstyle. Go big and bold like Cardi, try a romantic, tousled twist like Martha Stewart, or consider Hailey Bieber’s tight, knotted ballerina bun, which the Rhode founder has been wearing on repeat. Time to restock the bobby pins!<\/p>\n
