    Celebrities work hard, but none of them are working as hard as Cardi B is during Paris Haute Couture Week. The "Outside" rapper has really taken the lyrics to her new song to heart over the last few days and has stepped out wearing more show-stopping looks than I can count. She started off the week at the Schiaparelli show wearing a sculptural gown and a sleek blunt bob, and right after that, she wore a ruby red dress with 3D flowers attached, pulling her hair back into a slick bun with stylized baby hairs. On July 8, she switched things up again, attending Ashi Studio's Fall/Winter 2025 showcase wearing a fishtail braid that made her look like a literal angel.

    Cardi attended the show wearing a white, lace, high-neck gown with an asymmetrical hem. She wore it with a long fishtail braid that was pulled to the left side of her face and styled with a middle part and two small pieces of hair that framed her face. Per Instagram, it looks like all of Cardi's hair looks over the last week have been courtesy of her longtime hairstylist, Tokyo Stylez.
