Cardi B’s Fashion Week may not be going exactly according to plan, but there is one bright spot—literally. On Saturday, Tom Ford Beauty introduced its new line of Boys & Girls lipsticks, with a hue named for the entertainer in a shade as attention-getting as she is.

And while those familiar with Cardi’s lyrics (or background) might expect otherwise, her namesake shade is neither “bloody” nor “regular shmegular degular”—it’s not even “Bodak Yellow.” In fact, “Cardi” is a brilliant blue with a hint of shimmer.

The rapper, who was front row at Ford’s Spring-Summer ‘19 presentation last Wednesday, joins the likes of other Ford muses Naomi Campbell and editor Carine Roitfeld in receiving this distinct honor; her lipstick is one of several Ford will be unveiling this season. In response to the reveal of her signature shade, Cardi posted a thank you that indicated this may just be the beginning of a beautiful relationship between the two:

“Thank you so much @tomford and @tomfordbeauty!!! So excited for this and what’s to come!!”

But if you were hoping to get your hands lips on this little bit of Cardi’s legacy, think again (or check eBay?). Within 24 hours of its release, the shade is already sold out.
