Cardi B stunned fans this week after revealing she had just given birth to her fourth child, only to appear on a red carpet just hours later.
The 33-year-old rapper stepped out at the launch of Cybex’s flagship store in New York looking nothing like someone who had just welcomed a newborn.
Instead, she appeared radiant, confident and fully styled in front of the cameras.
Her waist looked incredibly cinched in a black cropped bomber jacket from Dilara Findikologu.
The design featured a corset-style cut-out midriff, which showed only a small amount of skin at her hips. She paired it with a dramatic black bow, feather details, a sleek bob and open-toed shoes with scale accents that reached her knees.
With dark nails, a matching hat with earflaps and bright white toenails for contrast, the look was pure Cardi, bold and intentional.
While showing off the outfit on Instagram, Cardi not only revealed her baby news, but also what she sees as the start of a whole new phase in her life.
“My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons,” she began, before referring to what she called her “final chapter,” which includes “starting over” after her divorce from Offset.
She said the rough patch was “worth it,” especially because it brought new music and now “a new baby into my world.”
She explained that this child is “one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else, so that I can continue to give my babies the love and life they deserve.”
Cardi also said she’s already thinking ahead – personally, mentally and professionally.
She called her next phase ‘Me vs. Me’ and said she is getting ready for tour season and working on both her body and her mindset.
“Nothing will stop me from giving you the performance of their lives!” she wrote. Cardi added that she has “learned,” “healed” and “loves the woman I have become,” saying this next era represents all that growth.
With a newborn at home, an album released and a fierce new attitude, Cardi B’s red carpet moment wasn’t just a fashion statement, it was her way of confidently stepping into whatever she sets out to do.
