Cardi B opened her Little Miss Drama Tour on 11/2 in California, choosing a Do Long design for her performance of "Hello". She transformed her look on stage with a layered ensemble, shedding her outer cape during the climax to reveal a sheer bodycon underneath.

The bodycon featured a bustier silhouette and a form-fitting cut. Its striking design incorporated contrasting red and black crystals, creating a dynamic visual effect. The designer skillfully worked with sheer fabric, applying a pattern reminiscent of moving lava, which enhanced the garment's sparkle as the singer moved on stage.

The accompanying cape was structured with prominent shoulders and a high collar, featuring layered detailing and metallic accents. According to Do Long, the combination of these two pieces projects a powerful and strong image, a style Cardi B has embraced for many years.

The designer shared that Cardi B's stylist contacted his team in late 2025 to commission a unique custom piece. After understanding the requirements, Do Long and his associates developed a sketch based on their research into the rapper's physique and preferred style.

They spent over 20 days completing the outfit. "The most challenging aspect was meeting couture standards while ensuring Cardi B's comfort during high-intensity stage performances," Do Long stated.
