Cardi B steals the spotlight in a stunning cut-out gown at the prestigious THR & Instagram Power Stylists Event

Cardi B made a striking appearance at The Hollywood Reporter and Instagram’s Power Stylists dinner, held at the Sunset Tower in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (March 27). The event, which honored the year’s top 25 celebrity stylists, saw Cardi B accompanied by her longtime stylist, Kollin Carter, with whom she has collaborated since 2017.

For the occasion, the rapper donned a timeless black gown infused with her signature sultry flair. Her ensemble featured a sleek black midi-dress with a daring high slit, complemented by an off-the-shoulder neckline and intricate cut-outs and straps adorning the bodice. She elegantly accessorized the look with a classic updo, sheer tights, black heels, silver accents, and a sparkling clutch.

Reflecting on the challenges they’ve faced in the fashion industry, Cardi B shared her perspective with The Hollywood Reporter, remarking, “There are so many obstacles against us. 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 echoed her sentime𝚗ts, emphasizing their trailblazing influence in fashion: “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 wоme𝚗 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.”

Among the esteemed stylists and celebrity guests in attendance were 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. The intimate dinner also saw the presence of notable figures such as Aja Naomi King, Awkwafina, Demi Moore, Glen Powell, Hunter Schafer, and Lisa Rinna.
