Cardi B's Revenge Dress is a Skin-Tight Optical Illusion Dress

One of the most powerful points of style is the revenge dress. Need I explain the lore? Princess Diana's black off-the-shoulder mini-dress will forever capture the strength of a shocking, post-breakup outfit. Over time, revenge dresses have not been limited to Princess Diana's little black dress. Kendall Jenner, for example, exuded expensive divorced energy in a $27,000 Phoebe Philo coat. Cardi B wore an optical illusion dress for her New Year's Eve performance. Her stunning skin-tight gown was custom-made by the brand Syndical Chamber and featured the illusion of hundreds of grunge-style belts. With Offset's dramatic online breakup, it was perfect timing for Singer to give us her version of a statement revenge dress.

Poking fun at her recent breakup with Offset (and her amazing outfit), the "Bongos" singer posted an Instagram slideshow of her bold Revenge Dress with the caption "What's love got to do with it?" and a cheeky accompanied by a winky face emoji. The custom dress combines two of the brand's styles, the Abernico gown and the Belt Illusion, with a high neck and sharp cutouts across the upper bodice and back, and an overlapping, mismatched belt print throughout. The one-of-a-kind mesh dress had fringe and beaded detailing, adding to the overall edgy vibe.

Cardi paired her optical illusion Revenge dress with black pinwheels and gothic diamond cross earrings. For her New Year's Eve glam, she parted her hair to one side in voluminous curls and added 90s skinny eyebrows, green contacts, and bijoux nails.

Syndical Chamber is a Spanish-based brand headed by designer Sergio Castano Pena. Other celebrities who are fans of the brand include Ashley Graham, Bebe Rexha, and Naci Peluso. While it's always fun to see A-listers deviate from the typical couture week gowns and popular styles, Syndical Chamber's illusionistic style is certainly worth noting.

Take a cue from Cardi B: Revenge dressing can be whatever you need it to be; whether it's an LBD, a fur coat, or a mesh surprise, there's no denying that a nice outfit gives you the confidence you need after a bad breakup.
