Cardi B on Wednesday posted a series of Instagram photos in which she posed in a skin‑tight black vinyl bodysuit and towering thigh‑high boots to promote an alternate cover for her upcoming album, "Am I the Drama?."
The 32‑year‑old rapper's carousel included closeups that showcased a colorful peacock tattoo extending across much of her left leg and buttocks. One image featured a rear view in a thong bodysuit. Page Six Style reported that Cardi B's boots are a custom pair from Boston designer Thom Solo and said the Thom Solo team valued the footwear at $1,500 or more.
According to Page Six Style, the boots are the Thom Solo Croc‑Embossed Thigh‑High Opera Boots, produced in collaboration with Cardi B's stylists Kollin Carter and Posh McKoy. The designer said the custom footwear is crafted in noir croc‑embossed leather and features a 6‑inch platform and heel. Thom Solo reportedly made four pairs with the stylists; the pair photographed this week was the first publicly seen.
Cardi B paired the outfit with a striking hairstyle. In a short video also posted to Instagram, she wore bright yellow and black hair pulled into a bun with side‑swept bangs and a few face‑framing strands left out. The posts were presented as part of promotion for her album, which is scheduled for release later this year.
The Instagram post follows a high‑profile month for the Grammy‑winning artist. Earlier this month, a civil jury found Cardi B not liable in a lawsuit alleging assault and battery related to a 2018 incident involving a security guard. Cardi B's courtroom appearances drew attention for both her testimony and her wardrobe choices; she wore a Giambattista Valli fringe bouclé jacket and matching flared trousers from the designer's fall 2025 collection and carried a stud‑adorned Louis Vuitton bag, outfits widely reported in fashion coverage.
Page Six Style attributed the boots' valuation and design details to statements from the Thom Solo team. Cardi B's Instagram carousel did not include a price for the shoes or other outfit elements.
Cardi B, who has used social media extensively to preview music and visuals, has previously released multiple covers and alternate artwork for projects. The artist's posts continue a pattern of combining fashion moments with promotional activity ahead of releases. The album "Am I the Drama?" remains slated for release later this year; the Instagram images served as one element of the campaign surrounding the project.
No additional public comment about the outfit or the boots was available from Cardi B's representatives at the time of publication. The Thom Solo team provided details to Page Six Style regarding the custom collaboration with Cardi B's stylists.
