Remember the moment in time when Lindsay Lohan was in and out of court so often, it became major headline news across all media outlets whenever she would turn up to the courthouse in yet another inappropriate outfit? Simpler times, truly. Nowadays, the new courthouse fashion diva is Cardi B. Cardi made an appearance at Queens Criminal Court yesterday for a hearing in her ongoing criminal assault trial, the one where (last year) she went to a strip club to put the beat down on one of the strippers she thought was sleeping with Offset. The hearing itself was just to set the date for some new hearing (which will be in January).
Cardi probably didn’t even need to be there, but she turned up looking like… this. Like black Big Bird? With some Jamiroquai thrown in, because of the hat. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind a cropped version of this coat – as-in, the train makes zero sense, and the paparazzi didn’t even know how to photograph it properly. But I’ll give Cardi credit – without the coat and the hat, this is a totally appropriate court outfit.
Cardi is currently facing a multitude of criminal charges stemming from her attack on those two strippers, Jade and Baddie Gi. The charges include attempted assault in the second degree, felony attempted assault and more. Jade is the one Offset was sending messages to last week and when Jade outed him, he pretended he was hacked.

Nothing says I take this seriously like a head to toe raven feather ensemble.
It’s actually infuriating. This isn’t a game. You assaulted people. Not only that, but just from a common sense stand point you assaulted people that your husband is STILL cheating or attempting to cheat with.
I doubt most people expected her to take it 100% seriously – but I didn’t expect her to wear what looks like a costume to court. ESPECIALLY if she didn’t need to be there.
I mean, it’s pretty clear that she doesn’t think she did anything wrong.
On a side note, she definitely needed to be there. If you don’t show up for your case in NYC criminal court a bench warrant is issued for your arrest and your bail can be revoked. Court appearances here are by no means optional.
Yes, not to mention the mint-colored talons.
As an attorney… I find this completely disrespectful to the court.
I’m also an attorney. I am very surprised that her counsel would allow her to parade into court in this get up. Back in my law school days, when I was working on criminal trials, we preached to our clients to dress conservatively and be humble in a courtroom. If a bunch of 3L law students can provide this counsel to their clients, I’d imagine her very well paid criminal defense attorneys could do the same.
It actually doesn’t surprise me. The last time I had a ticket, you wouldn’t believe some of the ensembles people wore. While I think she’s only hurting herself, at least she’s covered up. That’s a lot better than some people I saw.
Same. This isn’t a joke. She set up two women to be assaulted because she wants to stay with a man who doesn’t care to be faithful, and she thinks this is an appropriate response.
And notice her husband is nowhere to be found. This chick is willing to catch cases for this POS. She is taking her anger out on the wrong person. The problem aren’t the women but that POS that doesn’t respect you or your marriage. How much you wanna bet he was at home DM’ing another random on IG looking to hook up???
Is it maybe possible he’s off elsewhere because she does crazy S#!+ like this, although if that’s true he should man up and say goodbye.
Omg as an attorney I also find this unbelievable. Judges do not react well to folks who act like it is all a joke. It is totally disrespectful.
As a paralegal, I’m pretty sure my boss would have a coronary if he saw this lol
No, Cardi. Just no. Maybe she took it off before walking into the courtroom. I sure hope so.
All this for Offset. I hope that she get sick of being gaslighted.
Somebody tell Cardi this lying cheat Offset worth kt
What would Judge Judy say about this outfit?
This!😂😂🤣🤣
I really do not understand why she continues to get admiration here and on other feminist leaning websites. Jezebel posted an article about this a few days ago where the author thought this was just great. Not only is this disrespectful, frankly I am surprised she was allowed into court wearing that, the charges against her are serious. If a man had gone into a strip club and beat up male bouncers that he believed were sleeping with his spouse, no one would find it charming.
^^^ this.
WELL SAID!!!
I’m also surprised she’s allowed to walk into the court looking like cheap muppet. I guess when you’re a famous millionaire, you’re allowed to wear whatever you like sometimes.
One law/rule for the rich & another one for the poor.
+1. Also, she looks ridiculous.
I just hope she lets her lawyer do all the talking.
This is the same woman who filmed herself having diarrhea on the toilet talking to fans on 1nstagram live. The ensemble looks demure and classy in comparison.
If her legal counsel did not tell her to take that monstrosity of a feather jacket and that rude hat (That to be clear I would love anywhere else) before she answers court she’s going to get the book thrown at her and I would be side eyeing my lawyer like “who you workin for again?”. Honestly I cannot believe she’s acting like this for that piece of crap guy whatever TF his name is if I were her I woulda been like “BYE UGLY” in the first place damn girl looking weak AF sHe is not acting like she has all the street CRED she claims … sHe needs to listen to some snow the product “say bitch”
Being respectful to the Court System and Judges? In THIS COUNTRY?
All I will say regarding that I have ZERO problem with what Cardi wore…
hahahaha WORD.
Finally removing all doubt that she is a bird.
Yes, Lala11 7. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanagh would have assaulted a woman wearing this or any other outfit in his rapey days. She can wear whatever the f-ck she wants. Also, her bodyguard in the gray suit is getting major attention for his hotness. I can understand this. That IS a hot man.
And yet, Brett Kavanaugh is a white man. You know, the ones who get probation for raping people and appointed to the Supreme Court. Cardi is a black woman, you know, the ones that get shot and killed in their own homes. Not the same thing. She needs to respect the court and treat it seriously before she gets some serious consequences (and/or time).
Yes, I was appreciating that bodyguard, myself.
Me too 😍😍
Cardi B is in contempt of court.
After doing some further reading on the case, I don’t think that she is getting good advice from her counsel. She was offered a plea which she turned down in favor of a trial. The deal would have called for Cardi to plead guilty to misdemeanor assault in the third degree. Cardi would not have done jail time and she would have been given certain conditions that if met, would have dismissed the case. I hope these theatrics do not continue when her trial begins. I don’t see many juries thinking this is charming.
Wow, she should have taken that deal!
I’m hoping the jacket was just for the pap stroll outside and she took it off when she entered the court room. She is wearing a respectable outfit underneath after all. I don’t really know why she’s so proud of this case. She had two girls beat up because her husband cheated, was offered a good plea deal and stupidly turned it down. She’s quite smart, but looks like a fool when it comes to this entire situation. And she’s still with the guy to boot!!!
