Cardi B turned heads and dropped jaws at Balenciaga’s Paris Haute Couture Week show, proving once again that she’s a true fashion force. The rap superstar arrived in a sheer black lace gown that blended gothic drama with high-fashion elegance — and the internet can’t stop talking about it.
With an ultra-high slit, shimmering sequins, and delicate floral lace, the long-sleeved dress hugged Cardi’s curves while revealing just enough to keep jaws on the floor. She paired the bold look with sheer black tights, sleek pointed heels, and a heavy dose of confidence.
But it wasn’t just the dress doing the talking — Cardi’s glam was next-level. She rocked voluminous curls, razor-thin brows, intense cat-eye liner, and a fierce red lip. Her crystal-encrusted long nails and diamond cheek piercing sealed the gothic-glam moment to perfection.
Sitting front row among stars like Nicole Kidman, Katy Perry, Lorde, and Salma Hayek, Cardi stood out with her fearless, theatrical presence. The runway featured icons like Naomi Campbell and Kim Kardashian, but Cardi’s presence off the runway still dominated the conversation.
And this wasn’t her only fashion statement of the week. Cardi showed up at Schiaparelli in a jaw-dropping sculptural fringe gown, complete with a live crow as a prop. Then she arrived at Stephane Rolland wrapped in a massive bubble jacket, redefining couture storytelling with every step.
From Balenciaga to Schiaparelli, Cardi B didn’t just attend fashion week —
she ruled it.
