Cardi B Shines in Golden Gown at Rabanne’s Spring 2025 Show
Cardi B started her Paris Fashion Week with a splash, wearing a golden chainmail dress with a fringe hem to Rabanne’s spring 2025 show.
The rapper accessorized with a chunky gold charm necklace and gold heels. Her long bronze hair was styled in loose waves, and dripped down her back.

She is known as a queen of high fashion. She wore Thierry Mugler’s Venus dress to the 2019 Grammys, while at the camp-themed Met Gala, she made headlines in an oxblood Thom Browne creation embroidered with 30,000 feathers.
Her appearance at Rabanne was the first time she’s been seen in Paris since Couture Week in July.
The feathery hem on her dress was in full flow as the “WAP” singer whirled around for paparazzi outside the show’s venue.
Cardi B also showed off her maternal side. The musician, who had her third child earlier this month, told a fan outside the venue that the first thing she thought about that morning were her kids.
Other famous faces in attendance included Camila Cabello and Gigi Hadid, who opened the show.
The world’s “most expensive bag” was there, too. As WWD reported, the one-of-a-kind 1969 Nano bag in 18-karat gold pays homage to the world’s “most expensive dress,” which was crafted by Paco Rabanne for French fashion icon Fran?oise Hardy in 1968.
Not unlike Cardi B, Hardy arrived at the show in an armored truck wearing the dress, made of 1,000 gold tiles and 300 carats of diamonds to promote a jewelry trade fair in Paris.
She was accompanied by a security escort “like a precious treasure,” the brand’s creative director Julien Dossena told WWD.
