The actress hit the Met Gala red carpet Monday night looking anything but stressed ... rocking a long, pastel gown that screamed springtime fantasy. The dress, with a dreamy blend of pinks and blues, gave off straight up cotton candy energy. Playful, light, and yes downright jovial ... a noticeable shift considering the drama she's been dealing with.

Cardi B says she's had it with Tasha K running her mouth about her ex-husband, Offset, despite an order prohibiting the blogger from doing so ... TMZ has learned.

In new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Cardi points out Tasha agreed to honor a non-disparagement clause as part of her bankruptcy plan, which bars her from talking publicly about the "Bodak Yellow" rapper or her associates, including Offset and Stefon Diggs.

As we previously reported, Cardi, who is represented by attorney Lisa Moore, was awarded $4 million from Tasha in a defamation battle, and Tasha filed for bankruptcy months later. The two worked out a deal where the debt was reduced to $1.2 million, as long as Tasha made monthly payments.
