Cardi B captured attention at Paris Fashion Week on Monday, arriving at the Rahul Mishra show in a dramatic silver and white sparkling gown. The American rapper, 33, sported the elaborate dress, which featured nipple detailing, layered elements, and a corset-style top, complemented by silver straps and nude heels.
Her dark hair was styled back, accessorized with statement earrings, and her makeup was described as glowing. The outfit choice for the event in the French capital marked another instance of the artist embracing daring fashion.
This appearance followed Cardi B's performance at the ESSENCE Festival in New Orleans on Friday. For her stage sets, she donned a fishnet bodysuit with a latex harness and thigh-high latex boots adorned with silver chains, and at one point, a neon yellow wig styled in ringlets. She also performed in a red and yellow bodysuit paired with long glittering gloves and heeled boots.
In recent days, Cardi B also drew attention for showcasing her luxury handbag collection on TikTok. She displayed several Chanel items, including a mini lambskin and gold-tone metal handbag valued at $8,400, a green caviar leather Hobo bag with a resale price of $10,500, and a burgundy giraffe flap bag available on resale sites for $29,500. She also showed red and black stretch boots with a gold heel and a blue vanity bag priced at $3,575.
Despite her extensive collection, which she noted could exceed $50,000, Cardi B commented that she "don't have no money" and that the display was "all an illusion." This statement reportedly led to criticism from some fans who were taken aback by the perceived display of extreme wealth.
