Valentines Day is a challenge for rapper Offset, who cruised Beverly Hills for the perfect gift for his wife Cardi B. But what do you buy for the girl who has everything? He landed at Cardi’s favorite store –Chanel– where he could do no wrong. Of course his other problem is: WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE POCKETS OF THOSE PANTS? He looks like a shoplifter, but he managed to leave Chanel without incident…

Cardi B is not one of those celebrities that welcome the anonymity of wearing a mask. She LOVES attention, especially when it involves fashion. Imagine the shocked looks on Rodeo Drive this weekend when Cardi went shopping with her husband Offset looking like THIS! Observers couldn’t decide if she was nude – or was it an optical illusion? Actually the futuristic dress involves a lot of layers and not a lot of nudity. Eccentric designer Pierre-Louis Auvray must be delighted by the reaction to his bizarre creation.

Not sure if Cardi B designed this nightmare of a flashy trashy outfit herself, but certainly Louis Vuitton is cringing to see those initials on her bag. Cardi B can afford to look better…

We have to admit that we would MUCH rather eyeball Cardi B when she’s all dressed up in designer clothes than listen her to her speak and assassinate the English language. She obviously LOVES fashion and the fact that she is now able to afford the best. But too frequently she tries to pump up the sex factor and reveals way too much cleavage or skin in general. This week Billboard named her Woman of the Year and she did a spectacular fashion layout with AB+DM photography. We love this photo WAY more than the Balenciaga frock she’s wearing – these clever photographers made an okay dress look astonishing, and Cardi herself has never looked better.

Cardi B fearlessly marched into court in Queens today wearing an extravagant black feather hooded coat with a long train dragging on the wet sidewalk. Underneath she wore a black suit, white shirt and tie, suitable for an appearance before the judge. She’s accused of using social media to plot an assault against the woman her husband Offset had an affair with, and brawling with two bartenders at Angels Strip Club. Looks like she’s confident that she’ll hear the words NOT GUILTY.

Anna Wintour has learned that in her line of work, it’s better not to criticize ANYONE because you never know who you’ll end up sitting next to at a Chanel show. Actually, Anna LIKES Cardi B’s style – she was quite impressed by Cardi’s extravagant Thom Browne gown at the Met Gala this year. However, we would give anything to be a fly on the wall and eavesdrop on Vogue editor Anna and Cardi’s conversation – they ARE sitting quite close together, although they arrived separately. The body language indicates discomfort, however. Anna was born in the UK and Cardi WAS born in Manhattan, although she has the thickest (gangsta?) accent we’ve ever heard. Can Anna understand a word that Cardi says? Does she want to?

At least this is Cardi B’s IDEA of what a female professional might look like. She’s in Paris making appearances during Fashion Week, and Cardi decided to take a break from her usually extravagant look. Her hair and glasses are indeed professional looking, but the sexy grey suit and platform oxfords are edgy and those NAILS are definitely NOT business-like. Still, it’s fun to see her with a new look…

Looks like Cardi B was DETERMINED to outdress Rihanna at Rihanna’s 5th Annual Diamond Ball and she does look spectacular. She’s got the edge because pink is more photogenic than Rihanna’s black gown. The fancy event raises money to support health and emergency service programs so it’s not ALL about competitive fashion. Rihanna has a lot to celebrate – her new lingerie line Savage X Fenty is the talk of the fashion world.

Is this a fabulous coincidence or WHAT? A three year old Instagram video just surfaced, featuring Cardi B saying that when she worked as a stripper she used to drug and rob men! Cardi confirmed it was true and explained she had “limited options” at the time. (Horrifying, because that‘s the same excuse all criminals seem to use) Back to the coincidence – Cardi B is now costarring with Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu (Crazy Rich Asians) in Hustlers – a movie about strippers who scam rich guys out of money! Director Lorena Scafaria might be thrilled to learn that Cardi B can also be the technical advisor!

Grammy night proved to be the best fashion night so far of the awards season. Lots of creative eccentric fabulous fashion and a minimum of those repetitious low cut gowns with high slits and a leg poking out. SOMEBODY had to be outrageous because Lady Gaga chose to be less shocking and more glam this year – so Cardi B took up the slack, and very nicely.
