The rapper wore eye shadow by Pat McGrath Labs in the colors "Fucshia Flame," "Rose Decadence," "Pink Champagne," and "Hedonistic Rose," which appear in a palette from the brand that retails for $65 at the time of writing.
Armon matched Cardi B's purple and green style with a wig she hand-painted herself, while Lewis wore a purple updo, which was inspired by the style Megan Thee Stallion wore in "WAP."
Fans also seemed to be inspired by other elements of the bold music video.
Inspired by Megan's zebra-print ensemble and Cardi's animal-print outfit, she applied the respective designs on her eyes and even added the details to her eyebrows.
YouTuber Cammi Mula shared a video of a "WAP"-inspired outfit and hairstyle, adding that she re-created the look while using supplies she already had at home, using hair gel and water to add volume to a wig, as well as bobby pins and a curling wand.
It's not the first time that fans have tried to re-create looks worn by Cardi B. Karina Bondareva, a fashion student from London, made her own version of Cardi's Met Gala dress out of red paper.
Arnell Armon, Alfred Lewis, Cammi Lewis, @qveenisdiamond, @stepheniebearty, and @haleypresleymiller did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
