It’s official: Cardi B is the fashion industry’s new obsession. And that obsession is only growing stronger. Having landed the covers of ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue within a very short space of time, the American rapper just bagged herself an advertising campaign for a major fashion house. Cardi is the new face of Balenciaga for Fall 2020 looking perfectly at ease in the just-released image (shot and styled by Cardi’s team on location in Los Angeles) showcasing the star decked out in a dress from the brand’s Fall 2020 collection surrounded by kids’ toys and a Balenciaga Neo Classic bag.
The campaign came as a pleasant surprise. “I love this. People will hate it, but the fact is Cardi is a fashion icon now,” stated Serend1pity.
“Very beautiful and it kinda fits the aesthetic of Balenciaga today. I love Cardi and how vulgar she is,” added Lola701.

“I love it! She looks good and is selling it to me,” declared an impressed Kimihiro.
Forum member aracic also liked the outcome: “Demna’s best campaign to date. Cardi looks great in that dress!”
“I like when there is a clash between two different worlds. Balenciaga stopped being so elitist when Kering hired Alexander Wang so let’s not be outraged. I like this odd combination. Cardi B is funny and successful with a huge audience and that’s what any brand wants in order to raise sales,” GivenchyAddict pointed out.
“Honestly? This is just fun. Love it,” confessed RedSmokeRise.
