: Cardi B's outfit—a purple fringed leather jacket and bejeweled bustier—was directly inspired by the late Tejano singer Selena's 1993 performance at the Memorial Coliseum in Corpus Christi.
The visual identity of "Please Me" relies heavily on retro references and personal tributes:
: The story begins at a 24-hour Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles where Bruno Mars and his crew are eating snacks as Cardi B and her friends arrive.
: Cardi’s hair, styled in cornrows with gold and clear beads, mirrors the signature look of 1970s and '80s R&B singer Patrice Rushen.
: Critics have noted the video's similarities to the 1978 film Grease and the 1990s TV show Saved by the Bell , blending high-energy choreography with a nostalgic "cool". Narrative & Production
