The 23-year-old "Princess Diana" rapper made a grand entrance at the prestigious Met Gala, flaunting her frosty look and bedazzled camera. Ice Spice, as she's popularly known, was a sight to behold in her elegant white dress, paying homage to the late fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld.
While strutting down the red carpet, Ice Spice captured every moment with her stunning vintage camera, the Argus C3. This low-priced rangefinder camera was mass-produced in the Thirties and Sixties, making it a favorite among photographers for its size, weight, and shape. Its nickname, "The Brick," perfectly captures its solid and sturdy build, making it a reliable choice for any photography enthusiast.
This camera sensation took Twitter photographers by storm, with many commenting about the camera, and them wanting to find out what it could be.
Anyway, Linus, known for his informational YouTube video for CineStill and his own photography channel soon found out what camera it was!

Ice Spice's Argus C3 camera, complete with a rose gold frame and black and white diamonds, was clearly the showstopper of the night. Even the lens was bedazzled, adding an extra sparkle to her already stunning look, but it still doesn't make up for the fact that Ice Spice can be seen holding it like a camera phone. In fact, why is she even pretending to take images at all? While some thought it was a purse in the shape of a camera, a closer look revealed its true identity.
As the event paid tribute to Lagerfeld, the Argus C3 was a perfect accessory. While she didn't snap any film pictures, one can only imagine the stunning shots she could have captured with a roll of Kodak Portra 800. Nonetheless, Ice Spice stole the show with her stunning camera and unforgettable fashion statement.
