Cardi B flaunted her tiny waist as she arrived to the FWRD fiesta during Paris Fashion Week on Sunday night – just 22 days after welcoming her third child.
The Grammy winner – turning 32 on October 11 – showcased her taut tummy in a silver halter Alexandre Vaulthier cut-out dress and ɴuᴅᴇ peep-toe platform heels selected by stylist Kollin Carter.
Hairstylist Davontae’ Washington coiffed Cardi’s middle-parted ponytail and make-up artist Erika La’ Pearl Roman fully contoured her complexion for the French festivities.
The half-Dominican, half-Trinidadian rapper claimed via X on September 16 that she ‘just was never the type to care about snap back after birth.’
This, despite Cardi (born Belcalis Almánzar) revealing she wears waist trainers one hour a day and spends 30 minutes on the StairMaster in order to get her post-baby body back.
On September 7, the Bronx native gave birth to her daughter (whose name has not been disclosed), which was her third child with estranged husband Offset.
Cardi filed for divorce from the 32-year-old Migos alum on July 31, and she wants primary physical custody of their six-year-old daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus and three-year-old son Wave Set Cephus.
Last Wednesday, Offset (born Kiari Kendrell Cephus) accused the Enough rapper of cheating on him ‘with a baby inside’ via the comments of her Instagram Live, which she appeared to confirm.
‘Nothing surprises me anymore. You’ve done it all, so I don’t care,’ Cardi vented during the livestream.
‘Thank you for my kids, though. All three of them — I don’t regret none of them, but I regret you. I don’t regret my kids. You a good daddy. You aight. I don’t regret none of them…But f*** you. I regret you. I’m too good for you. I’ve always been too good for you, n****. I don’t want you ᴅᴇᴀᴅ because…my kids love you down. So I would never do that. And I really follow street codes.’
The Kamala Harris supporter and the three-time Grammy nominee previously separated from December 5, 2018 to January 31, 2019 amid cheating allegations, but that was evidently not the issue this time around.
The on/off hip-hop power couple – whose first date was the 2017 Super Bowl – reportedly separated last November after six years of marriage.
Once safely seated inside the party on Sunday, Cardi lit up a cigarette and drank enough ‘henny’ aka Hennessy cognac to get ‘drunk as f***’ alongside her large entourage of pals on the payroll.
The On Dat Money rapper – who arrived in France last Wednesday – has sat front row at the Paris Fashion Week presentations for McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Messika, Rick Owens, Rabanne, Mugler, and Balmain.
‘Hey! I will never forgive y’all with how y’all did this song,’ Cardi – who boasts 280.5 social media followers – said of her poorly-performing single Bongos with Megan Thee Stallion.
‘This song here is in the club!’
Bongos peaked at No. 14 on the US Billboard H๏τ 100 chart despite the talented twosome’s $2M-budget music video and a whole lot of hype.
Back in 2020, Cardi and Megan’s raunchy, prior collaboration WAP topped the US Billboard H๏τ 100 chart and became a full-blown cultural phenomenon.
The WhipsH๏τs creative director still plans on releasing the long-delayed sophomore follow-up to her 2018 debut studio album Invasion of Privacy later this year.
‘I have let that s*** get in my head to the point it’s made me insecure in my own work,’ Cardi lamented via Instagram Live on Sunday night.
‘I’m my own enemy.’
The Wanna Be rapper – who ate New York-style pizza in her H๏τel bed – is clearly in a self-indulgent phase having bought ‘three bags in the span of, like, a month’ while ‘pregnant and bored.’
Cardi – who gets 31M monthly listeners on Spotify – is next scheduled to headline ONE Music Fest on October 26 at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, GA.
