In honor of Cardi B being an Essence Festival 2026 headliner, let’s take a look back at some of her best archival fashion moments.

The rapper’s long standing preppy aesthetic is intertwined with the French fashion house’s classic brand voice.

Sensual designs with themes of black, leather, lace, and sheer were the throughline of this season’s show.

Although the International Olympic Committee flagged an issue with the political nature of the uniform, Stella Jean’s designs are stunning. 

Who doesn’t love the soulful British singer? Channel Sade's minimal yet alluring energy through this look.

From WNBA star Angel Reese to global artist Rihanna, these were the best looks that defined the Met Museum’s chosen theme: “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

The Florida rapper’s debut at the Met Gala was nothing short of memorable. She worked with her stylist Sam Woolf, Pharrell Williams and the house on a superb ensemble featuring shorts.

The artist's take on the "Superfine" theme is a fashion-forward interpretation that blends 1980s trends with Dandyism.

The lauded designer, once again, steps outside of the fashion box to curate a night to remember in one of New York’s beloved museums.

The founder utilizes her longstanding passion for activism to create opportunities for designers who aren’t getting a fair chance in Italy's fashion industry.
