Cardi B embraced her love for anime with a standout fashion moment over the weekend in New Orleans, showing that she shares her WAP collaborator Megan Thee Stallion’s affection for the Japanese art form.
The rapper made a surprise visit to local hotspot Fat on Friday, where she played bartender and served up colorful frozen drinks. However, it was her anime-inspired outfit that truly stole the show.
Cardi wore a playful ensemble featuring an asymmetrical plaid skirt paired with a Dublet T-shirt. The shirt displayed an anime-style character with rabbit ears sitting on a crescent moon—perfectly in line with her signature bold style.
She completed the look with a whimsical hairstyle: sleek, dark hair worn down and parted in the middle, styled into two flawless space buns. White ribbons were tied into the buns, adding a mischievous touch. The look was finished with soft, sweeping bangs that framed her face.
Sharing photos of the outfit on Instagram, Cardi captioned the post, “My new b lookin like a trophy walking.” Fans flooded the comments with praise. “The freaking cutest,” one wrote, while rapper Chanel West Coast chimed in, “Obsessed with this look!!.”
Despite the love for her anime-inspired look, Cardi didn’t stick with it for long. By the end of the weekend, she had swapped it out for a vintage-inspired ponytail. Styled with extra volume—thanks to a Bumpit—and dyed a deep red, the new hairdo channeled classic pin-up glam, marking a full departure from the anime theme.
Even with the style switch, Cardi’s weekend in New Orleans was a celebration of fashion, fun, and her ever-evolving beauty choices.
