Met Gala 2023
Met Gala, also called fashion’s biggest night, is where entertainers and designers come together to showcase their knowledge, skills, and creativity.

Paris Fashion Week 2023
Paris Fashion Week isn’t for those looking to play it safe. Since the designers are showcasing their most detailed couture pieces, invitees are expected to go big or home. Standouts for Paris Fashion Week 2023 were Doja Cat and Cardi B. Doja Cat was fully committed to the cause, covering herself in 30,000 Swarovski crystals. On the other hand, Cardi decided to let the garments do all the talking.
Vogue Mexico cover
Cardi B loves to wear over-the-top hair and makeup, but she dialed it back for her Vogue Mexico cover shoot in August. To pay homage to indigenous Mexican tribes and culture, Cardi’s photo spread focused on the rich historic pieces rather than pronounced glam.

In the thick of the futuristic metallic looks spawned out of Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour, Cardi B seemingly pulled from the growing fashion trend for her red carpet look at the 2023 MTV VMAs. However, she ditched the cold metals for her performance for a vibrant summer color palate.
2023 Grammys
Cardi B’s signature style is ever-evolving, but she gravitates towards sculptural pieces. For the 2023 Grammys, her electric blue floor-length Mugler gown left jaws dropped when images of the look were uploaded online.
