Cardi B Wins Paris Fashion Week With Her Boldest Look Yet

Cardi B isn’t afraid of slipping on the most experimental pieces designers have to offer. Remember her brief obsession with archival Mugler, including the feathery couture ensemble from the label’s Fall 1995 collection that she wore to perform at this year’s Grammys? Nothing is off limits for the fashion-obsessed rapper. No gown too flashy or extravagant! And this is particularly true this week: Cardi hit up the Spring shows in Paris this weekend, stepping up her style game even further in the process: she was spotted wearing her boldest look yet.

Staging an impromptu photo shoot in front of the Eiffel Tower, Cardi hit the streets in a head-to-toe outfit by Richard Quinn—at least, we think that’s Cardi. The rapper’s face was concealed by a floral mask that blended in with the rest of her ensemble, including a boxy jacket, pleated skirt, and tights to match. "I m here to serve it to you cold," she said of the look, crossing the street in her uploaded Instagram video. "Make sure a car don t hit me, because a bitch can t see."

The very directional look is from the English designer’s Fall 2019 collection, exactly as it appeared on the runway. Quinn has made florals his trademark though his looks are hardly for wallflowers. And while Cardi certainly went incognito in this getup, all eyes—tourists and paparazzi alike—were still on her like bees to honey. Her cover was blown.
