Though Cardi B may have risen to fame with her on-track rapping skills and off-track humour, the now mother-of-two has also cemented herself as a fashion aficionado.

With a collection of Hermès bags worth more than the average house in the UK, a love of vintage Mugler and a taste for the dramatic the New Yorker has been welcomed by the fashion industry, most notably Richard Quinn, the aforementioned Mugler, Chanel, Moschino, Tom Ford and Thom Browne.

From her epic Moschino Met Gala look to her most recent foray to Paris Fashion Week, here are 28 year-old Cardi B's best style moments:

1

Cardi B on Valentine's Day, February 2022

Cardi celebrated Valentine's Day with her partner Offset wearing a distressed denim mini dress by Syndical Chamber, which was covered in rips and cut-outs on the front, from waist to chest.

The dress also featured a slight shadow detail around the belly button and hips, giving the illusion of a naked dress.

She styled the look with a denim jacket, navy pointed heels and a white manicure.

The musician attended Offset's 30th birthday party ahead of Christmas and wore a pair of black, white, and bright green Balenciaga trainers deconstructed to create a lace-up corset. The unusual top, which she shared an image of on her Instagram Stories, was designed by the sustainable streetwear brand Frisk Me Good.

The rapper styled the look with a bra top made by LA designer Rey Ortiz, black leggings, a pair of neon-green jigh heels, hopp earrings, bracelets and diamond necklaces decorated with Playboy Bunny charms.
