Cardi B makes a case for the high-fashion bowl cut in Gucci’s front row
Cardi B knows how to bowl over the fashion crowd.
The “Ah Ha” rapper, 33, took her front-row seat at Gucci’s spring 2027 show at Milan Fashion Week on Friday in a close-cropped wig with blunt, bowl-cut bangs.
The Louise Brooks-style ‘do tapered to a point at the sides, showing off a pair of Gucci “GG” monogram earrings ($430).
Cardi amped up the drama in a massive furry white coat flecked with silver, a runway piece from the brand’s cruise 2027 show (not yet in stores), which creative director Demna staged in New York’s Times Square in May. She paired it with sheer “GG” tights ($300) and a black lace bodysuit — no pants required.
Her outerwear fit right in amid the parade of enormous shearling coats on the runway. The set was designed to look like a Gucci boutique, with models posing and preening in its mirrors.
On the runway were some Victoria’s Secret alums, including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Elsa Hosk and Candice Swanepoel.
“Gucci stands for being rooted in the desire to belong to a more glamorous world, and in the audacity to remake that world in your own image,” the designer wrote in the show notes, calling the collection his first complete vision for the brand. “Gucci is about luxury that wants to be seen.”
Cardi had already made her presence known in Milan: She walked the runway at Vogue World: Milano on Tuesday in a neon Versace dress, then stopped traffic at Roberto Cavalli in a mob wife-worthy animal print robe with fur trim and a corseted waist.
“If there was ever an outfit that screamed LIBRA QUEEN… this is the one! Thank you @faustopuglisi and @roberto_cavalli for this amazing custom piece! Such a nasty, rich libra aura!! and that show.. bellisimo!❤️🤍💚,” she gushed about the look on Instagram, nodding to her upcoming Oct. 11 birthday.
Friday’s crop is one the chameleonic star has tried before — though in a far more casual context. In December 2023, she wore a similar bowl-cut pixie to go shopping on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles.
