Cardi B’s Paris Fashion Week outfits are a lesson in revenge

Cardi B references Princess Diana and gives a lesson in revenge this season during Paris Fashion Week.

The musician is known for her dazzling, high-fashion outfits, from Thierry Mugler’s Venus gown to the 2019 Grammy Awards to making headlines at the Met Gala in Thom Browne’s blood red, embroidered with 30,000 feathers.

More from WWD

Cardi B was busy during Paris Fashion Week, flitting from show to show in one stunning look after another. As her divorce from rapper Offset gained momentum on September 25, Cardi B didn’t let her estranged husband or the Parisian drizzle rain on her fashion parade.

Below we present the “WAP” performer’s styles from the spring 2025 season.

Harsh for Alexander McQueen Spring 2025

Cardi B, sitting across the aisle from The Rose’s Woosung, looked fierce in a belted lion coat with a lavish faux fur collar on September 29 at Alexander McQueen’s spring 2025 show. After the show, WWD reported that it praised creative director Sean McGirr’s collection. “It was beautiful, it was dark, it was bold,” she said, declaring the high-necked lace mesh dress her favorite because she knew it would look good on her body. “Give me 14 of them,” she joked.

Hot tuxedo for Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood spring 2025

Arriving with a cigarette in hand (after all, she was in Paris), Cardi B smoked hot in a graffiti-print corset and mini skirt for Andreas Kronthaler on the Vivienne Westwood runway on September 28. Channeling the brand’s punk energy, she styled fishnet stockings underneath a jumpsuit, completing the look with a miniature handbag and black platform shoes.

Like Lydia Deetz at a Paris Fashion Week party

On September 26, the rapper remembered Lydia Deetz, the heroine of Winona Ryder’s “Beetlejuice”, wearing a fabulous feathered jacket and gothic bangs. She kept the rest of her look simple, wearing a long black dress, sunglasses and piles of diamond jewelry.

A ray of sunshine for Rick Owens Spring 2025

The musician hit the designer’s runway on September 26 in a sharp-shouldered brown and taupe wool Rick Owens ensemble. On the way there, Cardi B enthusiastically told WWD about the sunrise at the show. When asked about her best tips for staying dry, she advised, “Keep your head down so the rain doesn’t wash away your makeup,” and demonstrated this by hiding her lowered face behind her woolly-gloved hands.

I’m playing Peekaboo at Mugler Spring 2025

Cardi B played peekaboo at Mugler’s spring 2025 show, wearing a bold scoop neckline with a statement midsection and a black mini dress with architectural cutouts. Later in the show, a Tabi-style hairstyle appeared, and models with a slit wore sensual dresses with low necklines, similar to Cardi.

Stay cozy in Balmain Spring 2025

On the Balmain Spring 2025 runway, Cardi B wore a furry emerald coat paired with high heels. She tied her waist with a belt with a crystal-encrusted buckle. After the performance, Cardi posed for photos with French first lady Brigitte Macron. “It’s a great honor for me to meet you. I’m so grateful,” Cardi told Macron as they hugged, WWD reported.

Glamorous in Gold for Rabanne spring 2025

Cardi B kicked off her Paris Fashion Week with a bit of wildness, wearing a gold chainmail with fringe at the Rabanne spring 2025 show on September 25. The rapper accessorized with a chunky gold pendant necklace and gold heels. Her long brown hair was styled in loose waves and fell down her back.
