Just three weeks ago, Cardi B gave birth to her third child alongside her children and soon-to-be ex-husband, Offset. Now she’s in Paris making Fashion Week her runway all while feuding with Offset on the internet, a multifaceted queen. Cardi and her stylist, Kollin Carter, are no strangers to viral moments during Paris Fashion Week, from bedazzled face masks to wearing helmets. This season she’s being daring with her beauty looks, specifically her hair, which she’s changed multiple times (we’ve lost count) over the past 72 hours.
Here, are her best beauty moments and looks, of course, during Paris Fashion Week:

For her first night of shows, it was a severely rainy night in Paris and, somehow, Cardi managed to make a headband hairstyle look edgy and glam. At Balmain, she wore her hair in a low pulled-back ponytail and oversize leather headband that came down onto her forehead. It was a nice addition to her belted green oversize fur coat and massive Balmain snail earrings. Suddenly I want to buy a leather headband for my rainy-day-hair looks.

At Mugler, Cardi gave asymmetric bangs a new meaning. Her long bangs draped down her face, slightly covering her eyes, leaving a slight split down the middle of her face. Curtain bangs, but make it unconventional (and even a little dark). It was fitting for Mugler and the play on shapes with her black structured look. The shape of the hair slightly emulates the opening of her jacket. Lastly, her overlined dark lip liner was the finishing beauty touch the look needed. Pat McGrath calls it the “legendary lip look,” achieved by Cardi’s makeup artist, Erika La’ Pearl, who used McGrath’s Ultra lip pencil in the color Deep Void and clear gloss.

She took the dark overlined lips to another level at Rick Owens. There, she wore the lip liner not only on the perimeter of her lips but with one line down the middle. Her short bangs and spiked hair looked like an anime-inspired style, slightly dark but suitable and expected for a show like Rick Owens.

For Messika’s show, her hair was transformed into a dreamy, romantic updo, a style that is stamped as a classic for Cardi. She’s had major updo moments, from the infamous “WAP” music video updo to her excessive Met Gala updos. Add this one to our faves list.
