Cardi B always knows how to make an entrance, and her recent court appearance was no exception. On Tuesday, August 26, the rap superstar turned heads in an outfit that perfectly blended high fashion with courtroom seriousness. She showed up looking incredibly stylish, proving that even a legal battle won’t dim her spotlight.
Cardi, who was 32 at the time, stepped out in a plush gray coat paired with matching tweed pants. The jacket caught the eye with its white and black furry patches and playful fringe along the neckline and sleeves. Her pants were tailored just right, keeping the whole look sharp and coordinated. To add a pop of color, she carried a striking Louis Vuitton bag, black with the brand’s iconic logos in a rainbow of hues.
Her beauty game was just as strong. Cardi wore a full face of makeup, featuring glowing foundation and perfectly shaped eyebrows. Her cheeks were bronzed, giving her a warm, sculpted look. She amped up the glamour with a smoky eyeshadow blended softly into her eyelids and long, fluttery eyelashes. A shiny pink lip color finished off her stunning look. She also changed up her hair, sporting a platinum blonde wig styled with a side part and big, bouncy curls.
This stylish court visit wasn’t just for show; it was for a lawsuit that goes all the way back to 2018. A security guard had accused Cardi B of assault outside a doctor’s office in Beverly Hills. But Cardi has always stood firm, saying there was no physical fight, just a heated verbal exchange.
During the trial, Cardi testified that the security guard had filmed her as she entered the medical building. She was visibly pregnant with her first child with Offset at the time, before she had even told the public about her pregnancy. Speaking from the stand, Cardi recounted the moment, as reported by ABC. She said, “You are recording me. Now you are following me, so move away.” She continued, describing the guard’s reply, “And she says, ‘I can do what I want.'” Cardi’s response was clear: “It’s like, ‘No, you can’t. You can’t do what you want.’ And that’s when we started to argue.” The defense later highlighted some parts of the security guard’s statements that didn’t quite line up during cross-examination.
