Underneath, Cardi wore a fishnet catsuit, completing her look with a miniature handbag and black platform boots. The “Puntería” artist’s dark tresses were styled in a messy updo, while her makeup consisted of violet eyeshadow and gothic lipstick.
Other stars in the front row included Paramore’s Hayley Williams, author Léna Mahfouf and Spanish DJ Sita Abellan.
Creative director Andreas Kronthaler’s latest collection featured “less emphasis on historical elements,” according to WWD’s Tianwei Zhang.
“Instead, the collection exuded a mix of Jane Fonda’s workout video aerobic sensuality and the carpe diem attitude seen on the dance floor of Studio 54,” he wrote. “The shapes were sleek and sexy with plunging necklines and shimmering sheer fabrics.”
Cardi B was spotted at Rabanne’s spring 2025 fashion show on Wednesday, where she glistened in a mirrored gold dress. Accompanied by her longtime stylist, Kollin Carter, the rapper accessorized with a chunky charm necklace and gold heels.
The world’s “most expensive bag” was there, too. As WWD reported, the one-of-a-kind 1969 Nano Bag in 18-karat gold pays homage to the world’s “most expensive dress,” which was crafted by Paco Rabanne for French fashion icon Fran?oise Hardy in 1968.
The metallic pochette debuted on the runway alongside two other artisanal iterations of Rabanne’s signature design: the 1969 Glass Bag is made of Murano pastilles, while the 1969 Ceramic Bag is made of porcelain discs. All three purses are available to order at the Paris Rabanne boutique.
