Cardi B Makes a Striking Entrance with a Live Crow at Paris Fashion Week

During Paris Haute Couture Week, Cardi B made a memorable debut at the Schiaparelli fall 2025 couture show, arriving in an elaborate custom gown featuring fringe, pearl details, and sculptural shoulders, paired with a live crow perched on her hand.

At the front of the Petit Palais, the rapper posed in her statement outfit, which was embellished with strings of pearls. Videos from the event showed the crow fluttering wings as it sat on her hand.

Photo clips captured Cardi B signaling for the paparazzi to lower their voices to avoid upsetting the bird, leading to humorous reactions on social media. Fans praised her commitment to her look, especially the bold choice of bringing a live crow, which references her upcoming album titled “Am I the Drama?” featuring a crow on its cover art.

Inside, Cardi sat front row with celebrities such as Dua Lipa, Hunter Schafer, and Karol G. Lipa, who recently announced her engagement, stunned in a white textured dress, while Schafer and G wore strapless gowns in pastel green and black-prints, respectively.
