Cardi B Wore a Gold Superhero Helmet While Kissing Offset in Paris
Is this her interpretation of French girl style, or a creation straight from the mind of Cardi B? The “Bodak Yellow” rapper kissed her husband, Migos rapper Offset, outside the Chanel store in Paris on Wednesday, September 29, while wearing a plaid jacket with metallic breast coverings. She paired this with heavy gold chains and, oh yeah, a gold headpiece that obscures the entire top half of her face.
It’s giving Daft Punk. It’s giving Flying Nun. It’s giving Watchmen. After over a year of seeing only the top half of my friends’ masked faces, it’s kind of a shocker to witness the reverse. The rare lower face-only reveal.
Cardi B has been bold with her fashion choices since giving birth to her son in early September. She recently rocked a red sequined and feathered ensemble from Thierry Mugler that was part Carnival, part Beach Blanket Babylon, and all fabulous.
In addition to giving the world looks and babies, Cardi B somehow finds time to bless us with music, too. She had a killer verse on Lizzo’s comeback single “Rumors,” and appeared in the video, too.
“I definitely called Cardi ’cause she’s, I mean, she’s incredible,” Lizzo told E.T. Canada about the collaboration, per Revolt. “I’ve been wanting to work with her for years. Ask anybody at Atlantic [Records], the day she got signed I was like, ‘I want a song with Cardi B!’”
She continued, “So, when I finally had a song on the level, that was perfect for us, I hit her up and sent it to her and she loved it and sent her verse through. Because of COVID, you know, we couldn’t be together, but we FaceTimed. The rest is herstory.”
Cardi shot the video while pregnant and wears, come to think of it, metallic gold on her chest and in her hair. So maybe this is just her look for 2021? Screw polyester, am I right? It’s all about plating yourself in precious metals.
