“Cardi B’s Paris Fashion Week Outfit Sparks Discussion on Double Standards”
Cardi B’s Striking Fashion Statement in Paris
Cardi B made a significant impact at Paris Fashion Week, donning a head-to-toe Richard Quinn AW19 ensemble. Her appearance has stirred conversations about the perceived double standards in fashion choices, especially when compared to societal norms and regulations.
Fashion or Political Statement?
While visiting the Eiffel Tower, Cardi B sported a floral print outfit that entirely covered her face. Sharing a video of herself in front of the Parisian landmark, the rapper exclaimed, “PARIS FASHION WEEK, IM HERE!” In the video, she playfully remarked, “What’s poppin’ baby? I heard you bitches was missing me in Fashion Week New York. I’m here to serve it to you motherfuckers, serve it to you cold. Make sure a car don’t hit me ’cause a b.i.t.c.h can’t see.’”
Public Reaction to Cardi B’s Outfit
The public response to Cardi B’s outfit choice was mixed, with some seeing it as a potential commentary on the restrictions faced by Muslim women. One Twitter user questioned, “So if Muslim women do this we terrorists. If Cardi does it she’s iconic?” “Game of Thrones” actress Nathalie Emmanuel also chimed in, highlighting the issue of Niqab bans in France and their implications.
France’s Controversial Veil Ban
France’s 2011 law, making it illegal to wear clothing that conceals the face in public places, has been a subject of debate. Former President Nicolas Sarkozy stated in 2009 that the veil “is not welcome in France,” citing issues of liberty and women’s dignity. However, the United Nations Human Rights Committee ruled in 2018 that this law violated the human rights of Muslim women, though no action was taken by the French government.
Limited Response from Representatives
Despite the controversy, representatives for Cardi B and designer Richard Quinn have not yet responded to requests for comment regarding the outfit and its potential implications.
