Cardi B Turns Heads With Sleek Cut-Out Gown at THR & Instagram’s Power Stylists Event

Cardi B put her characteristically sultry twist on a classic black gown at The Hollywood Reporter and Instagram’s Power Stylists dinner at Sunset Tower in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (March 27), celebrating the year’s 25 best celebrity stylists.

Joining her stylist Kollin Carter — whom she’s been working with since 2017 — at the event, the “Enough (Miami)” rapper was photographed wearing a sleek black midi-dress with a high slit, complete with an off-the-shoulder neckline and cut-outs and straps along the bodice. The look was completed with a classic updo, sheer tights, black heels, silver accessories and a sparkling clutch.

“There are so many obstacles against us,” Cardi told THR of her struggles within the fashion industry. “For example, this body is not meant for a size 2.… It was not easy, but we make it look easy. Our door was closed many times, but we’re here because we do it well.”

Carter added, “We’ve given look after look, year after year, we’ve reached into archives that are impossible to reach into. We caused a cultural shift. I don’t think there were many women like Cardi who existed in the fashion space. Now there are a ton of other rap females who aspire to be in that space because they see what’s possible. We set trends.” 

Andrew Mukamal, Brad Goreski, Danyul Brown, Dara, Enrique Melendez, Erica Cloud, Erin Walsh, Jamie Mizrahi, Jessica Paster, Samantha McMillen, Shiona Turini, Warren Alfie Baker and Wayman & Micah were all also in attendance at the event as spotlight stylists. The celebrity attendees at the intimate dinner included Aja Naomi King, Awkwafina, Cardi B, Demi Moore, Glen Powell, Hunter Schafer, Lisa Rinna and more.
