Cardi B is still in Paris for all of the fashion shows. She loves this time of year, she loves a Paris Fashion Week. Earlier today, Cardi attended the Schiaparelli show and wore one of their sculptural designs. While Schiaparelli is not my flavor whatsoever, I enjoy Cardi as a “fashion girl” and I like how she pulls off some really big-swing looks. Schiaparelli’s designs really work on her. She pulls off “big, sculptural fashion.”

I actually wondered if the raven was part of the Schiaparelli design or staging, and for a split second, I thought it was a fake/stuffed raven as well. But no, Cardi was really holding a live raven! It turns out that ravens (and not crows, as originally thought) are an important part of her new album, Am I the Drama? Ravens were heavily featured in her “album preview.” Remember Taylor Swift’s snake era? Cardi is in a Raven Era. All that being said, I don’t like the use of live animals for this kind of thing. You can see that the raven is on some kind of “leash,” but the effect would have been similar if Cardi had just used a stuffed raven.

Meanwhile, people are currently theorizing that Cardi is already done with Stefon Diggs. She’s deleted all of her photos of him from Instagram and she seems to be in Paris solo (or just without Diggs).
