When it comes to turning heads, Cardi B knows exactly how to play the part. Over the weekend, the Grammy-winning rapper traded her usual bold red carpet looks for something straight out of an anime fantasy—and trust us, it was adorable.
While Megan Thee Stallion has long been the queen of anime-inspired fashion moments, Cardi proved she can hold her own in this playful style arena. She stepped out in New Orleans looking like a walking piece of art, blending Japanese animation vibes with her signature flair for fun and fashion. Forget football—this trip was all about making statements that spark joy.
The “WAP” star kicked things off on Friday at Fat Tuesday, where she took a turn behind the bar mixing colorful frozen drinks. But let’s be real, no one could focus on the cocktails when Cardi was serving up such a sweet and stylish ensemble. Her outfit featured an asymmetrical plaid skirt paired with a Dublet t-shirt showcasing an anime character perched on a crescent moon, complete with bunny ears. It was cute, quirky, and totally Cardi.
But the real showstopper? Her hair. Cardi rocked two perfectly symmetrical space buns tied with white ribbons, giving off major kawaii (that’s Japanese for “cute”) energy. The look was completed with swoopy bangs framing her face, making her resemble an anime protagonist come to life. Fans immediately flooded her Instagram comments after she shared a carousel of photos captioned, “My new b🏖️ lookin like a trophy walking.” And honestly? She wasn’t wrong.
Chanel West Coast chimed in with, “Obsessed with this look!!😍🔥,” while other fans gushed over how effortlessly adorable the whole vibe was. One commenter summed it up best: “The freaking cutest🖤🖤🖤.”
This isn’t the first time Cardi has experimented with playful hairstyles or unexpected fashion choices, but there’s something about this anime-inspired moment that feels especially fresh. Whether she’s channeling cartoon characters or dominating the music charts, Cardi continues to remind us why she’s always ahead of the curve.
So what’s next for the rap icon? If history is any indication, we’ll have to wait and see—but one thing’s for sure: Whatever she does, it’ll be unforgettable.
