Only Cardi B could steal the spotlight at Paris Couture Week by turning a surreal moment into a fashion headline, literally. The rapper, never one to shy away from bold statements, arrived at the Schiaparelli Fall/Winter 2025 show, not just wearing couture but carrying a crow. Yes, a real-life crow, perched calmly on her arm, calling it her "little friend Crowdi B". As expected, the internet is obsessed.
Schiaparelli's dreamy couture — with a crow
Making a dramatic entry outside the Petit Palais, Cardi embodied high fashion drama wrapped in a custom Schiaparelli gown dripping with structured pearl fringe. The sculptural piece featured a deep U-shaped neckline that stretched up to form a sort of halo over her head. Underneath was a sleek black dress, completed with matching opera gloves, oversized pearl earrings and a sleek side-parted bob.
But the real showstopper was the live black crow balanced coolly on her hand. In several viral videos from the event, Cardi can be seen shushing paparazzi, urging them to lower their voices so they wouldn't scare the bird.
Cardi in Rahul Mishra — Late, but still serving
Later in the day, Cardi B switched gears with a dazzling turn in Rahul Mishra. The second look was a luxurious burgundy rhinestone gown, embellished with massive 3D floral appliqués, a nod to nature that echoed her earlier crow accessory.
She paired the floral creation with a heavy diamond necklace and matching earrings, wearing her hair pulled back into a low bun with curly tendrils framing her face.
Though she arrived almost 75 minutes late and missed the runway show, Cardi's look still earned applause from fashion watchers and fans alike.
