Happy Birthday, Cardi B! Revisiting 9 of the Rapper’s Best Looks This Year

Happy Birthday, Cardi B! The rapper turns 27 today. As she celebrates her special day, it’s worth taking a look back at some of the superstar’s best fashion moments over the past 12 months. Between starring in Hustlers, kicking off a new Netflix show Rhythm + Flow, hitting up the shows during Fashion Month, and performing at various events across the globe, she’s had no shortage of high-profile appearances. And she’s busted out some killer red carpet looks for each occasion, wearing everything from vintage revivals to fresh-off-the-runway designs.

Last month, Cardi was spotted taking in the Spring 2020 fashion shows. She hit up Chanel’s presentation during Paris Fashion Week clad in a black-and-white tweed suit by the label—with the hat to match—and a houndstooth coat. A few days earlier, she sat front row at Thom Browne’s presentation in the designer’s sculptural suit and mega-high platforms. She also caused quite the stir when she showed up in front of the Eiffel Tower for an impromptu photo shoot, clad in a full-floral Richard Quinn ensemble (face mask included).

Beyond Fashion Month, Cardi also had winning style moments throughout her Hustlers promo tour. One of her most notable looks was the rare vintage Jean Paul Gaultier number she wore in August, from the label’s Fall 1995 collection. And who could forget what is possibly her most memorable red carpet ensemble ever? That was when she arrived at the Grammys in February, rocking an archival Mugler Couture design from the ’90s, a look that instantly went viral around the world.

Below, 9 of Cardi’s top fashion moments from the past year.
