If there’s any woman in rap you can count on to deliver a noteworthy style moment, it’s Cardi B. Only five years ago, the 31-year-old made her hip-hop debut with “Invasion of Privacy.” Still, she has quickly dominated the industry, easily becoming one of today’s most successful female rappers. The Grammy-winning album also featured the hit “Bodak Yellow,” which revealed her affinity for Christian Louboutin heels, thereby setting the tone for her entrance into fashion. Since then, Cardi B has broken many barriers in the industry, including becoming the first female rapper to cover Vogue.
Thanks to stylist Kollin Carter, Cardi B’s imprint on fashion is second to none in her genre. Since their partnership started in 2017, the New York-born rapper has produced many groundbreaking looks, including the vintage Mugler crinoline sheath she wore for the 2019 Grammys, marking only the second time in 25 years that the prestigious fashion house opened its archives for a celebrity. She appeared in other jaw-dropping ensembles from the designer, most notably the red feathered dress sourced from the 1995 archives for a Mugler party in 2021. Even more recently, she stunned at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars Party in a ruched Robert Wun dress.
Apart from her red carpet supremacy, the “Bongos” artist‘s street style does not disappoint. She’s become a Fashion Week staple, conquering Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week in multiple statement pieces, from a velvet Schiaparelli lace-up gown to a tweed Thom Browne skirt suit. Cardi B rocks the catsuit trend every chance she gets, including a mint Radiant by KOS piece for Hot 107.9’s Birthday Bash and a Tom Ford fishnet bodysuit during Miami Art Basel. She’s also embraced the academia trend in a white button-down shirt layered under a knit vest, styled with a plaid pleated skirt and the viral new UGG boots for the brand’s Feel House Party.
