Cardi B made a spectacular entrance at Paris Couture Week, bringing some drama to the Schiaparelli fall/winter 2025 couture show. Known for her extravagant style, the rapper embodied peak drama with her choice of attire, captivating fashion enthusiasts and onlookers.
For her first look, Cardi donned a breathtaking structured pearl-fringe gown characterized by a dramatic U-shaped neckline that extended all the way to the crown of her head. This striking piece was worn over a sleek black dress, offering an elegant contrast. She completed her daring look with chic matching gloves, amplifying the sophisticated yet edgy vibe.
The gown was initially debuted on the runway by supermodel Karlie Kloss during Schiaparelli’s spring 2024 couture show. However, Cardi B added her unique flair, styling her hair in a sleek side-parted bob that perfectly complemented her ensemble.
Her accessories, including statement pearl earrings, and the show-stealer—a live black crow perched confidently on her right hand—thoroughly elevated the look. In charming clips circulated on social media, Cardi entertained the press while gently requesting that they lower their voices to avoid startling the feathered friend.

This ensemble showcased her affinity for bold styles while embodying an enchanting elegance.

This did little to dampen her impact at the event, as Cardi consistently knows how to command attention with her looks.
In her recent interview with ELLE, she seamlessly asserted her love for bold fashion, declaring, “Great outfit. Every time.”
“Your outfit speaks first. People see you walk in, and they’re like, ‘Oh, she looks good,’” the rapper added.
With her remarkable ensembles at Couture Week, it’s clear that Cardi B continues to be a trendsetter, embodying the spirit of high fashion with every appearance she makes.
