When it comes to haute couture drama, Cardi B never misses, and her recent appearance at the Schiaparelli Fall/Winter 2025 Haute Couture show in Paris proved just that.
The Grammy-winning rapper turned heads in a black-and-white sculptural ensemble that was anything but ordinary, complete with a surrealist bird accessory perched on her shoulder, elevating her look into pure couture fantasy.
Designed by Schiaparelli’s creative director Daniel Roseberry, the ensemble reflected the house’s signature theatricality and surrealist roots. Cardi wore a white structured top with exaggerated cone-shaped sleeves and a dramatic silhouette that billowed out at the waist, paired with a sleek black skirt that hugged her curves. But the pièce de résistance? A lifelike black bird accent, styled like a raven or crow, balanced boldly on her right shoulder, giving Hitchcock-meets-haute-couture energy.
Her beauty look was just as polished: slicked-back jet-black hair, sculpted brows, and a nude lip let the outfit do all the talking. Meanwhile, her nails were glossy and dagger-sharp, a nod to her always-immaculate glam game. Cardi completed the outfit with black heels and her signature confidence, posing fiercely for photographers and fans alike.
This isn’t Cardi B’s first moment with Schiaparelli. The rapper has long championed the fashion house’s dramatic style, often choosing their most sculptural and showstopping pieces for red carpets and fashion weeks. With each appearance, she proves she isn’t just attending fashion events, she’s shaping their most iconic moments.
Social media lit up within minutes of her arrival, with fans praising the bold risk-taking and artistic interpretation. Fashion critics and stylists applauded the way she brought drama without veering into costume territory, no small feat in the world of couture.
From the Met Gala to Paris Fashion Week, Cardi B has made a name for herself as a true fashion chameleon and risk-taker. Her Schiaparelli look at the 2025 Haute Couture show is yet another reminder that when Cardi enters the room, all eyes are on her, and she knows exactly how to keep them there.
