Cardi B is making a statement at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.

From 3D elements to a live bird, the 32-year-old rapper turned heads with a series of jaw-dropping looks in the City of Light.

The fashion streak kicked off on Monday, July 7, when Cardi stepped out for the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026 show. The star appeared in a fitted black column gown with an exaggerated shoulder piece draped with ivory beaded fringe that cascaded down her knees. She completed the look with black opera gloves, as well as one unexpected accessory — a live black bird.

While ascending the steps of the Petit Palais, Cardi held the bird on her right arm as she posed for pictures, despite the animal occasionally flapping its wings and ruffling its feathers.

Inside the venue, Cardi was asked if she was scared to make her entrance with the bird. “No, I’m not scared of the bird. That’s my friend,” she told WWD. “I control him. We’re best friends.”

The dramatic look served as a nod to the rapper’s upcoming sophomore albumAm I the Drama?, the cover of which features a fleet of black birds flying around her.

That same day, Cardi attended the Rahul Mishra Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026 show in a red strapless dress with a corset-style bodice and sparkling embellishments. The gown also featured massive 3D flowers attached to wires that formed a halo around her.

She topped off the look with a dazzling choker necklace and wore her hair pulled back into a sleek updo.

On Tuesday, July 8, the Grammy winner appeared at the Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026 show in a black-and-white gown with a cape-like enclosure over her head and shoulders. The long-sleeve ensemble featured structured shoulders and a long column skirt.

She kept the rest of her look simple with a sleek updo and minimal jewelry.
