Cardi B’s fashion style never ceases to shock. From a futuristic pod dress to a show-stopping Schiaparelli gown with a live bird, Cardi B’s style is turning heads. Check out her bold looks!

Cardi B Stuns in Sculptural Couture at Paris Fashion Week, Redefining Red Carpet Drama

Cardi B is once again proving herself as the reigning queen of high fashion at Paris Fashion Week. On July 8, the rap superstar made a jaw-dropping appearance at Stephane Rolland’s Haute-Couture Fall/Winter 2025-26 show at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, turning heads and setting social media abuzz.

For the occasion, Cardi donned a mesmerizing black-and-white gown that blurred the lines between fashion and art. The dress featured a voluminous black skirt that transformed her silhouette, while a dramatic sculptural hood enveloped her hips and soared upwards, creating a surreal optical illusion. The crisp white lining of the hood seamlessly matched the tailored bodice, giving the impression that Cardi was emerging from an otherworldly pod—an avant-garde masterpiece that left the audience spellbound.

She completed the look with a sleek center-parted bun and minimal jewelry, allowing the architectural gown to take center stage.

This show-stopping moment comes hot on the heels of another bold ensemble: just a day earlier, Cardi B turned heads at Schiaparelli’s show in a whimsical fringe dress, accessorized with a live crow perched on her shoulder. She later wowed in a sparkling red gown adorned with enormous rose blooms erupting from the shoulders.

Cardi B has become synonymous with fearless, boundary-pushing fashion. From her iconic sculptural pink-and-black gown at the 2019 Grammys to the ethereal royal blue dress at the 2023 ceremony—and who could forget the lime green “sleeping bag” look at Guarav Gupta’s Fall/Winter 2023/2024 show—she continually reinvents what it means to be a red carpet icon.

But Cardi’s journey to fashion’s front row hasn’t always been easy. “There are so many obstacles against us,” she told The Hollywood Reporter, referencing her and stylist Kollin Carter’s creative partnership. “For example, this body is not meant for a size 2. I’m very hips, ass, and that’s me. It was not easy, but we make it look easy. Our door was closed many times…but we’re here because we do it well. I’m not going to be humble about it.”

Carter added, “We’ve delivered look after look, year after year, reaching into archives that are nearly impossible to access. We’ve sparked a cultural shift. I don’t think there were many women like Cardi in the fashion space before. Now, there are tons of other female rappers aspiring to be here because they see what’s possible. We set trends.”

With every appearance, Cardi B continues to push the boundaries of fashion, inspiring a new generation of artists and cementing her place as a true style icon.
