Cardi B Calls Thierry Mugler 'A True Inspiration' In Touching Tribute

Cardi B remembers fashion icon, Thierry Mugler.

The rapper, 29, paid memorial on Instagram to then renowned French fashion designer, who died at 73 on Sunday.

Cardi shared a montage of photos of herself with Mugler. The "Hustlers" star also showed off the designer's "ICONIC archive pieces" which she has worn to her "Grammy red carpet look in 2019."

Cardi recalled the time she went to meet Mugler in her post.

"Mr. Mugler was one of the FIRST designers to take a major chance on me, allowing me to wear one of his ICONIC archive pieces for my Grammy red carpet look in 2019," Cardi wrote in the caption.

"Over the years me, him and Kollin created even more fashion moments but nothing tops being able to finally meet him in person last year in Paris at his museum exhibit. It's so crazy because I was second-guessing if I should go the whole time leading up to that trip. I had just given birth to my son like three weeks prior and wasn't feeling 100% like myself but something in my spirit kept saying 'GO,'" she explained.

"Maybe God knew that if I didn't go then I may have never had the opportunity to thank him for everything he did and the doors he opened for me. Mr. Mugler was still putting his foot on necks at 73 years old!!!" the creative director of Playboy added.

Cardi also noted that Mugler was "A true inspiration for all of us," and ended her lengthy message by writing, "Rest in Paradise Manfred Thierry Mugler 🕊🙏🏼"

A day after his death, his fashion label, the House of Mugler, took to the photo-sharing site to announce his passing.

"It is with deep sadness that the House of Mugler announces the passing of Mr Manfred Thierry Mugler," the statement read. "A visionary whose imagination as a couturier, perfumer and image-maker empowered people around the world to be bolder and dream bigger every day."

Mugler was born in 1948 in Strasbourg, France. Before making iconic pieces, he was a talented performer -- a dancer with the Ballet du Rhin at 14. He was also an acrobat and a fashion model.

Since he has also a talent for making clothes, he opened his first boutique in Paris in the 1970s. Mugler's designs were worn by notable personalities, including Lady Gaga, David Bowie, and Beyoncé. He designed Kim Kardashian's famous "wet dress" for the Met Gala in 2019.

Mugler died in Vincennes, a commune in the Val-de-Marne area in the eastern suburbs of Paris, of natural causes.

Since his passing, tributes poured in this week from across the fashion and entertainment industry.

"Manfred Thierry Mugler 💔 My heart breaks. There’s no one like you!" Kim Kardashian penned in her tribute.

"Your vision, your transformations, your magic! I am so honored to have known you, spent time with you and be a muse for you. There was so much more for you to show the world and that we had planned to do together, but you already gave us so much," she continued.

"I will never forget our time together around the world and learning from the master himself on what couture really meant! You always said beauty will save the world - and you really believed it was a better place because of the beauty all around! Thank you for the beauty. I love you so much. My condolences go to Manfred’s family, friends, JB and his incredible team - and everyone who loved him and who’s lives he has touched," the beauty mogul added.

Fellow designer Marc Jacobs highlighted Mugler's talent in his post.

"This Mugler show at BONDS Disco, 1980, was a major life changer," he wrote in the caption of his post, which was a picture of the model wearing a Mugler creation.

"Never had I seen or experienced anything like it. The Glamour! The Fashion! The Women! The extraordinary execution of an out of this world dream by fashions most incredible showman," he noted, adding, "Thank you for sharing your wildest fantasies. Rest In Peace Manfred Thierry Mugler."

Diana Ross also remembered the talented designer by tweeting, "I will miss you Thierry Mugler this was a wonderful time in our lives."
