It is Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris and Cardi B ensured she got the style memo.
The rapper, 30, made a bold statement as she left her hotel in a dramatic white ruffle tulle dress to head to the Balenciaga show in the city on Wednesday.
Fashion Week is well under way, with many designers opting to press ahead with their collection showcases amidst the riots in the capital.
Cardi could barely fit through the doors of her hotel due to the sheer volume of her dress, which was made up of layers upon layers of white wispy fabric.
The Bodak Yellow hitmaker, who is in the capital with her husband Offset, amped up the glamour with diamond earrings and thigh-high PVC black pointed boots.

Cardi B’s husband Offset, 31, was pictured arriving in a black raincoat and sunglasses and walked the red carpet separately.
It comes amid reports the couple ‘will hash their problems out as they always do’ according to a new report – after he claimed she cheated on him – sparking a furious row.
Offset’s now-deleted post on Monday – which came hours after he reunited with Quavo at the BET Awards – read: ‘My wife f****d a n**** on me gang yall n***** know how I come.’
Cardi then hit back at Offset’s claim with a bizarre Twitter rant in which she accused her ‘motherf****r’ spouse of ‘spiraling.’
An insider has now told People: ‘They’re just having a little quarrel. They’re very intense so go back and forth quite a bit. They’ll hash it out like they always do.’
Eva Herzigova and Amber Valletta were among the models arriving for the Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture show.
Despite the catwalk being Fall/Winter 2023/2024 couture, Eva kept her outfit simple as she arrived in a cream blazer and black maxi dress.
The model, 50, teamed the look with tortoise shell sunglasses, loafers and a drawstring handbag.

Paris Fashion Haute Couture Week kicked off on Monday, but the city has been rocked by a week of violent protests after Nahel M was shot dead in a Parisian suburb on Tuesday.
Celine cancelled their menswear show – which was outside the official calendar – on Sunday due to the chaos as shops were looted, cars were set on fire and fights broke out in the street.
Celine designer Hedi Slimane said it was ‘inconsiderate’ to hold a fashion show when Paris was ‘bereaved and bruised’.

Thousands have been arrested since the protests began, with some 45,000 officers deployed across the country to try and quell the unrest.
Sunday night saw the intensity of the protests abate somewhat, with the grandmother of teen shooting victim Nahel M. appealing to citizens to demonstrate peacefully and stop the violence.
But tensions remain fraught, particularly in the suburbs of cities like Paris, Marseille and Lyon.
