If in the past, haute couture fashion week evoked elegance, in recent years it has changed when it was associated with a number of stars who turned their personal appearance into a controversial work of art. Among them is Cardi B. The female rapper once caused a stir at Paris Fashion Week Spring Summer 2022 with a series of unique outfits. Now, in the Haute Couture Fall Winter 2023 season, Cardi B returns to Paris as a front row guest of Schiaparelli and Thom Browne, with a similarly controversial look.

Present at the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2023 show, Cardi B wore a pure black outfit with a shaggy jacket, reminiscent of the beast parade-like show that the brand performed in the Spring-Summer 2023 haute couture season. . In many photos, Cardi B is “ruffled” like a crow in a coat tied with many wool tufts.
But when she took off this jacket, the female singer actually looked very elegant in a strapless dress made of black velvet with gold decorative details worn inside. Many people think that she looks quite similar to an African goddess because her hair is wrapped in a scarf and her bright gold multi-layered bracelet is also from Schiaparelli. Previously, Cardi B used the “African goddess” concept in her maternity photos.

When watching the brand’s Schiaparelli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2023 show, eagle-eyed people will discover that Cardi B is wearing a tailored version appearing on the runway. Creative director Daniel Roseberry has repeatedly asked guests to reveal the runway design on the front row, specifically with Kylie Jenner in the previous haute couture season. Cardi B, too, wore a version made for her by Daniel Roseberry at this appearance.
At the Thom Browne Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2023 show, Cardi B demonstrated her ability to refresh the preppy style when combined with eclectic accessories. Thom Browne’s inherently preppy and tomboyish jacket became extremely seductive when turned into a long dress for Cardi B.

At the Chanel Spring/Summer 2020 show , Cardi B also turned the jumpsuit set that seemed to be only for slim bodies into a sexy outfit that showed off all three curves. Even though the female rapper “reworked her old self”, it was not boring at all when she was prepared with surreal accessories by stylist Kollin Carter.
Cardi B wore a gold mesh headband that covered half of her face. Stylist Kollin Carter accessorized the rapper with a gold belt and a funky Thom Browne watch-shaped handbag. The playful yet sexy look fits the rapper’s image perfectly.
