Cardi B Looks So Chic In First Balenciaga Campaign: See The Photo

Cardi B is the new face of Balenciaga.

The “Bodak Yellow” rapper made quite the splash across the pond as she announced her campaign with the luxury fashion brand. Cardi broke the news on Instagram Tuesday (September 1) along with a special glimpse of her monumental advert.

“Ya lookin at the face of a @Balenciaga campaign!” the 27-year-old captioned a set of pictures of her banner hanging outside the Louvre in Paris. “I remember how I felt seeing myself on a billboard in NYC Times Square but PARIS! Wish I was there to see it in person!”

In the shot, Cardi dons a black bob to compliment the long dark evening gown she wears while relaxing on her bright green lawn, encircled by yellow children’s toys. (Likely thanks to her 2-year-old daughter, Kulture).

The campaign marks the musician’s first time starring in a high-fashion ad for a major house. As every Cardi stan knows, the Grammy-winner gave the brand a special shoutout in her smash hit 2018 song “I Like It,” on which she raps, “I like those Balenciagas, the ones that look like socks.”

Knowing the Bronx native’s love for the Paris brand runs so deeply, we can only imagine how special the opportunity is to her.

But the joint venture is just the latest in a string of successes for the rap artist, who recently made history with her collaboration “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion. Together, Meg and Cardi became the first artists with a female rap collab to debut at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
