  • Cardi B kept her raven-inspired style streak going as she donned a high-low corset dress made completely out of black feathers on Saturday, August 2.

  • The “I Like It” rapper performed new music at WWE’s SummerSlam at MetLife Stadium.

  • Cardi B made headlines when she paired her sculptural Schiaparelli fringe dress with a live raven at Paris Fashion Week in July.

Cardi B is continuing her bird-inspired style streak for her latest appearance. Just weeks after shutting down Paris Fashion Week in a sculptural Schiaparelli fringe-collared gown with a live raven accessory, the “I Like It” rapper leaned into an avian sartorial ethos once again while headlining WWE’s SummerSlam. Performing some new, unreleased music onstage at the Saturday, August 2 competition, Cardi B wowed in a colossal black feather dress with a dramatic high-low design.

It’s no secret the “Up” singer is partial to a whimsical, oversized silhouette—an optical illusion pod dress, a 10,000-foot tulle train, and a rhinestone-bedazzled gown literally blooming with 3D flower embellishments are just a few of her most memorable fashion slays—and she continued the trend during her WWE debut. Stepping out into the ring at MetLife Stadium, Cardi B made a dramatic entrance with a dress completely encrusted with black feathers as a digital crowd of ravens—a seeming nod to her Paris Fashion Week look—swarmed above her head.

The dress’s built-in bodysuit featured a plunging sweetheart neckline and a pantsless design that flashed the front of her legs, which were clad in black fishnet tights and knee-high black lace-up leather boots. Meanwhile, an attached dress coat—which featured off-the-shoulder puffy sleeves and a long skirt that fanned out several body lengths behind her—covered most of the stage.

Previewing part of a new song (potentially from her upcoming album Am I The Drama?), Cardi B leaned into an edgy hair transformation. She styled her jet-black hair into a sleek high ponytail with blunt face-framing pieces and micro bangs that fell just above her eyebrows. Sculpted cheeks, dark lashes, and a nude lip finished off Cardi B’s SummerSlam look.
