Cardi B Bursts With Color in 3D Florals and Feathers at Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2024 Runway Show in New York
Cardi B was among the A-list guests who attended the Marc Jacobs fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection show in New York City on Monday. The rapper wholly embraced summertime, fashioning a look that harkened back to a trend seen on the Met Gala 2024 red carpet in May.
For the fashion show at the New York Public Library, Cardi wore a voluminous silk organza minidress with a bevy of floral appliqués in shades of yellow, white and purple reminiscent of a pansy. The delicate fabric of the frock cascaded over the “Money” rapper, and featured a hemline inches above the knee. The dress, part of Jacob’s spring 2020 ready-to-wear collection, also featured layers of feathers.

Cardi continued the yellow and white color motif with her tights and heels. The rapper fashioned textual yellow tights and wore a pair of white platform heels with three buckle straps. As for her glam, Cardi embraced a retro aesthetic.
The Grammy winner fashioned her hair in a stylish bun and fringe to frame her face. Her makeup highlighted a clean, natural look and featured a dusty rose and mocha lip. Cardi opted to wear a pair of sunglasses to complete her look, forgoing statement jewelry pieces for delicate options.
While attending the New York City fashion show, Cardi posed for a photo with designer Marc Jacobs, who debuted pieces from his fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection. The designer styled exaggerated long nails with embellishments — a nod to Cardi’s own blush-hued nails.
Although Cardi’s three-dimensional florals were ideal for the summertime season, the look was reminiscent of a trend seen on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet. The 2024 Met Gala’s theme, “The Garden of Time,” was a nod to the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Naturally, a bevy of stars opted for floral inspiration for their respective looks at the event.
On the night of the Met Gala, stars like Ayo Edebiri, Karlie Kloss, Gigi Hadid and more fashioned three-dimensional florals as part of their designer ensembles, featuring looks by Loewe, Thom Browne and more. Florals are a ubiquitous trend that tend to arrive along with the spring and summer seasons. Cardi took the style and elevated it with three-dimensional flair.
