The Five of Hearts features an upper-body shot of a person decorated with a flower on each breast and a design in the style of a heraldic coat of arms. It features two foxes, a microphone, a bird, and various flowers with the Missy Elliot album name "Supa Dupa Fly" on a banner. This design was created by Missy Elliot herself. It is decorated with rhinestones, and painted in pink, white, and blue.

"The Deck of Cards was conceived by Assouline, who were inspired by MAC Cosmetics' irreverent imaging and makeup artistry. Working with the MAC Creative Team, the idea grew as some of the world's most renowned designers, musicians and artists created unique body designs that became this provocative deck of playing cards. The response was phenomenal. All of the designs submitted were not only original and creative but reflected the individual personalities of the well-known participants." Released as a deck of standard-size playing cards and later as a book collection of the images, portions of proceeds from sales benefited the MAC Aids Fund.
