Cardi B Stuns in Schiaparelli Couture with a Raven on Her Shoulder at Paris Fashion Week
Paris, France – Cardi B once again proved she’s fashion’s boldest risk-taker when she arrived at the runway show wearing a jaw-dropping look from Schiaparelli’s Spring/Summer 2024 Couture collection — complete with a real raven perched on her shoulder.
The Bronx-born rapper and style icon turned heads the moment she stepped out of her car, bringing high drama to the Paris Fashion Week scene. Her sculptural black ensemble from Schiaparelli — known for its surrealist, avant-garde approach to haute couture — featured a heavily structured silhouette with dramatic shoulders, velvet textures, and golden accents. But the centerpiece of the look was the lifelike raven, styled as both a symbolic accessory and artistic statement.
The raven, a nod to mysticism and rebirth, echoed the dark opulence of Schiaparelli’s house codes, bridging fashion with fantasy. Cardi B, who has never shied away from theatricality, wore the couture piece with striking confidence and poise, transforming the entrance into an unforgettable performance art moment.
Styled by her longtime fashion collaborator Kollin Carter, Cardi’s entire look was a celebration of couture at its most imaginative. Her makeup was kept sleek and smoky, while her hair was pulled back to allow the ensemble and its feathered companion to shine.
Social media exploded within minutes, with fans and fashion insiders praising the rapper for her boldness and for once again pushing the boundaries of red carpet style. Vogue called it “a couture moment that will go down in fashion history,” while Schiaparelli’s creative director Daniel Roseberry praised Cardi for “embodying the surrealist soul of the collection.”
This isn’t Cardi B’s first time commanding attention at fashion week, but her 2024 appearance may be her most iconic yet. More than just an outfit, it was a statement — merging fashion, symbolism, and pure performance in one unforgettable look.
As the raven sat calmly on her shoulder, Cardi B reminded the world that she doesn’t just follow trends — she creates them.
