Watch Cardi B Get Ready for Schiaparelli’s Couture Show

Bonjour [beep].

[upbeat music]

Like, I m saving money.

[spectators shouting]

Bonjour, you little truffles.

Good morning.

I m getting ready for the Schiaparelli show.

Come join me, or not.

[upbeat music continues]

So this is how I wake up as a rich woman.

I have staffs.

We re getting ready for the Schiaparelli show.

[Cardi B laughing]

Isn t she beautiful?

Actually, we have three options.

Well, not really, two.

First we have another option.

It was a white and black option,

but we picked this one.

And the reason why I said we had three options,

because we had this option to be short with black tights,

but I m a little bit too skinny right now,

so I don t really like how my legs look.

So we re gonna keep it long.

[upbeat music]

Isn t this hotel lovely?

Fit for a queen, like myself.

[upbeat music continues]

So the beauty look for this show, you know, like,

the whole outfit is gonna be practically black and gold,

so I feel like I m hoping that my face,

the eyeshadow, the gold, it pops up.

I feel like this look today is doing too much

but not really doing too much.

It s always about looking chic.

I think in Paris, even like when you see people,

I don t know if you guys are naturally like this,

but even like when you see people getting coffee in Paris,

they look naturally chic.

This is my favorite city.

I just love the ambience.

You know, I love the buildings.

For some reason it just tells a story

without telling a story, you know what I m saying?

I feel like there s so much history here.

One of the best things is that it s like

there s a lot of cities that are beautiful

but I hate the food.

But I love the food out here.

You guys will do truffle everything.

You probably have truffle Champagne.

[Make Up Artist] Yeah.

[Cameraman] Would would you like us to organize

a class with a French chef to do the pasta truffle?

Yes, please, because Americans,

they cannot do truffle pasta.

[whimsical music]

What you can find in Paris

that you can t find anywhere else,

a lot of purses that you cannot really find in America.

[whimsical music continues]

I could say this, though.

This is my first Couture Fashion Week.

I m excited to see if I ace it and I do good,

and I m excited to see the clothes,

cause I never came to Couture Fashion Week.

So I feel like Schiaparelli just,

it s like a great balance of doing too much

but not looking, like, pathetic.

[hip hop music]

I feel like we should put the earrings first.

[hip hop music continues]

Bonjour, [beep].

I swear to God, I m gonna be so, guys, I ve been very upset

because everybody thinks that I came here for Couture Week,

but I really came here to buy a Birkin bag.

[make up artist laughing]

I cannot find it nowhere in the States,

and let me tell you something,

I ve been looking for this Birkin for two months

and then my Hermes plug said that it was coming to New York

and I think she sold it to somebody else.

But it s okay, because I came here to get it myself.

And, like, I m saving money.

Like, I m like budgeting, right?

What?

Hold on.

What is going on?

Hold on.

[hairstylist laughing] Let me try something.

[hip hop music]

Tight would look better.

You know what s so crazy?

I look like my Mom when she was younger.

So let s get dressed.

[hip hop music continues]

Okay guys, for real, we re getting ready now.

Like, I would let y all stay,

but my curlers is all out.

[hip hop music continues]

[hip hop music continues]

[hip hop music continues]

I m actually feeling a little nervous now.

I feel really amazing.

I feel beautiful, to be honest with you.

I just love the whole look.

My favorite song,

and the reason why I took French class in college

was because I was in love with the song

called La Via en Rose.

[Interviewer] Mm-hmm.

But that s my favorite song,

and I love how Grace Jones sang it.

And then when I went to college and everything,

I took French class because of, certainly,

cause of that song.

[Interviewer] And how do you deal with celebrity

on a daily basis?

Because I feel like it s hard sometimes, right?

It is hard, but sometimes I just don t give a [beep].
