Cardi B Accessorizes With a Real-Life Crow and Oversize Flowers in Two Looks at Paris Couture Week
THE RUNDOWN:
- Cardi B delivered peak drama at Paris Couture Week in a dramatic pearl-fringe gown, which she accessorized with a real-life black crow.
- The “Outside” rapper was filmed telling paparazzi to quiet down because the bird was getting spooked.
- Later that day, she changed into a burgundy Rahul Mishra rhinestone gown accentuated with oversize flowers.
Cardi B brought her forthcoming Am I the Drama album cover to life at today’s Schiaparelli fall/winter 2025 couture show.
With a live black crow in hand, the rapper delivered peak drama at Paris Couture Week in a structured pearl-fringe gown featuring a U-shaped neckline that extended to the top of her head, worn over a black dress. She paired the ensemble with matching gloves.
Karlie Kloss debuted the look on the runway last January at Schiaparelli’s spring 2024 couture show. But the “Outside” rapper made the outfit entirely her own, styling her hair in a sleek side-parted bob. She accessorized with statement pearl earrings and, of course, the crow.
In several clips shared to social media, Cardi told paparazzi to lower their voices so they wouldn’t spook the bird sitting on her right hand.
Later that day, Cardi changed into a burgundy Rahul Mishra rhinestone gown embellished with oversize flowers. She accessorized with a large diamond necklace and diamond earrings, and wore her hair in a low bun with long, curly edges.
Two versions of her look appeared on the runway today:
Unfortunately, Cardi arrived “nearly 75 minutes late,” according to WWD, and missed the Rahul Mishra show, in a clip shared to social media.
Cardi always knows how to make a fashion statement. When asked whether she’d choose great makeup or a fabulous outfit in an April 2025 ELLE interview, she answered quickly. “Great outfit. Every time,” she said. “Your outfit speaks first. People see you walk in, and they’re like, ‘Oh, she looks good.’”
And these days, she’s busier than ever. With an album coming out on September 19, three kids, and several business ventures in the works, she’s just trying to balance it all. “Right now, I’m overwhelmed but focused,” Cardi told ELLE. “Monday through Friday, it’s all business. I’m prepping to drop my album, launch two businesses, and still be there for my kids. It’s a lot—but I’ve seen other women do it, and I know I can, too.”
