Cardi B is celebrating her latest victory in court with a $10,000 polka dot pantsuit courtesy of Italian luxury fashion house Valentino. Stepping out for an assault trial on Tuesday, September 2, the “Drip” rapper modeled a three-piece look from the designer, consisting of the Supergran Plusdepois Print Jacket ($4,800), the Supergran Pants ($ 2,300), and a matching silk crêpe de chine blouse ($2,700).

Most importantly, Cardi B was cleared of all charges by the judge. She faced a $24 million lawsuit from former security guard Emani Ellis, who claimed that the mom of two had cut her cheek with a three-inch fingernail and spat on her back in 2018.
“I work all day and I work hard for my money, for my kids, for the people that I take care of,” Cardi B told court reporters, per BBC. “So don’t you ever think that you’re going to sue me, and I’m just going to settle.”

Following the conclusion of the trial, Cardi B went into full celebration mode by ditching her trousers in a video later posted to TikTok. “Walking out of court likeeee 💃 🎉 #bodegabaddie,” she wrote in her caption.
In the short clip, the “Rodeo” rapper does a celebratory dance sans pants while simultaneously teasing a new track called “Bodega Baddie.” At one point, she turns around and twerks in her thong for the Bardi Gang.

Cardi B’s trial lasted for one week before the charges were dismissed on Tuesday. For earlier appearances, the rapper donned similarly luxurious looks, including a white Jacquemus suit ($3,000) and a tweed matching set by Giambattista Valli ($7,080).
