Rap's fashionista is back overseas for Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, and is turning heads with her theatrical looks.

Cardi B sat in the front row at Robert Wun's couture fall/winter 2026 runway show in a bold red ensemble straight out of the renowned designer's "Childsplay" collection.

She rocked a sculpted mermaid gown, with dramatic opera-style gloves and a matching 3D circular bag. The Bronx native's hair was styled in an exaggerated donut bun.

Videos online show the "Magnet" artist watching the show next to actress Fan Bingbing and her longtime stylist, Kollin Carter, who has been helping her execute headline-making fashion moments.
