The superstar rapper continues her avant-garde fashion streak.
Cardi B has long favored avant-garde fashions. The rapper famously wore Thierry Mugler’s Venus dress to the 2019 Grammys, while at the camp-themed Met Gala, Cardi made headlines in an oxblood Thom Browne creation embroidered with 30,000 feathers.
This week in Paris, Cardi continued to flex her high-fashion chops in a series of flamboyant looks by Schiaparelli, Valentino and Jean Paul Gaultier. Here, a recap of the rapper’s haute couture wardrobe.
Schiaparelli Couture Fall 2023
Schiaparelli creative director Daniel Roseberry fashioned an animal-inspired collection for his spring 2023 haute couture showing. Cardi B channeled the theme in a cape covered in wool tendrils, which from afar, resembled feathers.
Removing her outerwear, she revealed a strapless velvet gown lined with gold beading. Punctuated with a gold belly-button ring, the frock also featured a lace-up back. Cardi B accessorized with a velvet cap and layers of gold bangles, as well as a pair of the French label’s ear-shaped earrings.
