Cardi B just turned Schiaparelli’s steps into her own dark, villainous runwayand we can’t get enough. The New York rapper led celebrity arrivals at the fashion house’s Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week show on July 7, and everyone was paying attention.

Is Cardi B’s Crow Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week’s Hottest Accessory?

Draped in an avant-garde, midnight-black velvet gown, she served major drama. Her Schiaparelli dress featured heavy shoulder fringe cascading like couture feathers.

Perched effortlessly on her hand was a sleek black crow, accessorizing Cardi’s look like the ultimate villainess chic ring. The “WAP” rapper brought her sinister crow-inspired theme to life—quite literally.

Adding to her dark couture moment, Cardi styled her hair in a slicked-back glossy bun. Her face was perfectly contoured with a nude glam beat, letting the dress take center stage.

Cardi B Asks Paris Fashion Week: ‘Am I The Drama?’

Cardi is fully embracing her villain era, giving couture with a dark twist. We’re not sure if she’s about to cast a fashion spell or wreak fashion havoc. But, either way, we are here for it.

Because, if you thought the crow was just for shock value, think again. Cardi B loves a good theme.

The feathered friend is a direct nod to her newly revealed album cover for Am I the Drama?, which also features black crows swirling around her in a fiery red sculptural look. So yes, Cardi, you are the designer drama!
