Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B Have the Most '90s Updos in the Photo for Their New Single

One of the most beautiful things about musicians during the social-media age is that their creativity is never limited to just their music. Releasing a new album or single is an opportunity for visual innovation, and Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have gone above and beyond with the announcement of their new song, "WAP," which drops this Friday. The cover photo posted by both artists is a gorgeously shot image with even more gorgeous hair and makeup.

Shared on the evening of Monday, August 3, the cover art features Cardi and Megan positioned back-to-back and head-to-head, their tongues sticking out, calling to mind imagery of Hindu gods Agni and Kali. They practically look like twins wearing gold hoop earrings with "WAP" through the middle, their eyes closed, and their long manicures peeking up from the bottom of the photo.

The star of the beauty look, however, is their matching and seemingly interwoven hairstyles, which are reminiscent of some of the most iconic 1990s updos. The flawlessly formed curls rise more than a foot above their heads, the base is as sleek as can be, and straightened tendrils hang glossily to one side, drawing the eye to sculpted baby hairs.

It's not just the hair that's got a very '90s vibe. Some elements of their makeup feel like a throwback to 20-something years ago, like Megan's dark lip liner surrounding a lighter lipstick color. Their sharp wings, defined brows, and highlighted cheekbones are definitely on-trend for today, though.

The comments section is living for this look. In addition to all of the enthusiasm pouring out for the upcoming single, fans can't get enough of the duo's beauty. "Yassss for the barrel curls 🔥🔥🔥🔥," one comment on Cardi's post reads. And Twitter is even more excited, with one person tweeting, "Y'all. When you see two black women put their hair together, just know they about to bring the 🔥," and sharing photos of when Chloe x Halle and City Girls connected their hair for respective photoshoots.

Both posts of the photo have gotten millions of likes, so if just the cover art gets this much love, we can't wait to see how fans react to the actual song.
