Cardi B wears a flowy dress at the Schiaparelli show in Paris

Cardi B All eyes were on her at Schiaparelli’s Fall/Winter 2024 show during Haute Couture Week in Paris on Monday, July 3.

The 30-year-old rapper looked like a walking work of art in a black dress that tightens your waist. The floor-length velvet number clung to Cardi’s curves and had gold lining on the bodice. She paired the garment with a huge textured coat. The New York native accessorized with chunky bangle bracelets and dangling pearl-studded earrings. On her feet, the hitmaker opted for metallic platform heels.

However, the most striking aspect of Cardi’s ensemble was her black velvet hat – which seemed to be inspired by swimming caps from the 1950s and 1960s. The piece protected the ‘Up’ artist’s locks and drew attention to her golden glamour. For makeup, Cardi opted for a dramatic cat eye, bronzed cheeks and a glossy lip.

When it comes to Schiaparelli, Hollywood’s biggest names go all out. In January, during the fashion house’s spring/summer 2023 show, Doja Kat pulled a look to remember as she stepped out in head-to-toe red paint that was covered in crimson Swarovski crystals. The glittering jewels adorned every inch of the 27-year-old ‘Say So’ singer’s body, including her eyelids, lips, chest and arms. The head-turning beat was brought to life by Pat McGrathwho used over 30,000 gems via hand application.

“It was an honor to collaborate with the incredibly gifted @DojaCat and @DanielRoseberry on ‘Doja’s Inferno’ look for @Schiaparelli’s FW23 Haute Couture collection,” the beauty guru, 57, wrote via Instagram at the time.

McGrath explained that it took “four hours and 58 minutes” to do the makeup and praised the “Patience and dedication” of the “Rules” singer. She added, “The finished product was a magical, mesmerizing masterpiece and a tribute to Doja Cat’s hard work and dedication.”

Cardi’s Monday outing marks her first major fashion event since the Met Gala on May 1. That evening, the Grammy winner took the edge off in a black bumblebee dress from Chenpeng Studio. The stately design was covered in protruding roses and finished off with a pearl-encrusted corset. Cardi, who rocked silver hair on the red carpetpaired the piece with a sleeveless placket and a black velvet tie.

Her outfit lived up to the prom’s “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” theme — what marked** the late designer’s signature work with Chanel and beyond — thanks to its black-and-white construction and preppy vibe.
