Cardi B always understands the assignment.
The “WAP” rapper showed her style prowess last night at Skims’ star-studded New York City flagship store opening, turning up on-theme in a head-to-toe leopard print look.
She turned heads in pieces from Skims’ recent collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana, including a floor-sweeping trench coat atop its form-fitting bodysuit ($298).
The musician went full speed ahead on the timeless motif by finishing the look with pointed-toe leopard Christian Louboutin heels.
Her eye-grabbing accessories didn’t disappoint, either.
Cardi B styled the wildly chic outfit with an oversized cross necklace, chunky black ring and fishnet tights.
She brought the glam with her makeup, too, opting for a sharp winged eye, spidery-long lashes and a glossy mauve-colored lip, pulling her hair up in a very Pamela Anderson-inspired updo with sweeping bangs.
Other A-list attendees, including Ice Spice and Paris Hilton, also got the leopard print memo, arriving in the aforementioned collaboration, which dropped last month and mostly sold out instantly after crashing the site.
Ice Spice chose to layer up with the lace-up corset ($498) and pants ($298) while Hilton went with the bodysuit ($148) and skirt ($178).
Meanwhile, the woman of the night made a huge statement — but not necessarily because of her outfit.
Suffering from a broken foot, Kim Kardashian wheeled around the buzzy event on a scooter, refusing to abandon her signature high heels.
The entrepreneur put on a busty display in a skin-tight yellow leather jumpsuit with a plunging neckline and zipper in the front.
Despite the injury, the fashion and beauty mogul was in high spirits on the big night, as the flagship marks a major milestone for the brand, which launched in 2019.
“It really is such a proud moment,” she said of the store in an exclusive interview with WWD published on Wednesday.
“When we started Skims, we obviously had high hopes, but I never thought of retail and how that would look … We were very focused on direct-to-consumer and everything online. So a Fifth Avenue store exceeds all of the expectations that I had,” the mogul concluded.
The three-story space will include the most popular collections spanning both men’s and women’s styles as well as limited-edition drops.
