Cardi B commanded attention at the Schiaparelli fall/winter 2024 show in Paris on Monday, July 3. The 30-year-old rapper exuded elegance in a sleek black gown that emphasized her figure, complemented by a gold-lined bodice. She completed the look with a statement textured coat, chunky bangle bracelets, and pearl-adorned earrings. Adding a touch of glam, Cardi chose metallic platform heels for her footwear.
The standout feature of Cardi's ensemble was undeniably her black velvet hat, reminiscent of swim caps popular in the 1950s and 1960s, which not only shielded her locks but also accentuated her glamorous golden look. Her makeup choice included a bold cat eye, bronzed cheeks, and a glossy lip.

When it comes to Schiaparelli, Hollywood's biggest stars pull out all the stops. In January, at the fashion house's spring/summer 2023 show, Doja Cat made a lasting impression with her head-to-toe red paint adorned with crimson Swarovski crystals. The stunning jewels covered every inch of the 27-year-old singer's body, from her eyelids and lips to her chest and arms. This eye-catching look, known as "Doja's Inferno," was brought to life by renowned makeup artist Pat McGrath, who meticulously applied over 30,000 gems by hand. McGrath expressed her gratitude for the collaboration with Doja Cat and Schiaparelli in a post on Instagram.

According to McGrath, it took nearly five hours to create the makeup look, and she praised the singer's patience and commitment. She described the final result as a mesmerizing masterpiece and a testament to Doja Cat's hard work and dedication.
Cardi's attendance at the Monday outing marked her first significant fashion event since the Met Gala on May 1. On that evening, the Grammy winner made a striking impression in a black bumble gown from Chenpeng Studio. The gown featured protruding roses and a pearl-covered corset, adding to its statuesque design. In addition to her silver hair, Cardi completed her look with a sleeveless button-up and a black velvet tie.
Cardi's outfit perfectly captured the essence of the ball's theme, "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," which celebrated the late designer's iconic work with Chanel and beyond. The outfit's black and white construction and preppy vibe successfully highlighted Lagerfeld's signature style.
