With Céline Dion notably absent, and Billy Porter calling time on the SS20 season at the end of LFW, Paris Fashion Week’s front rows have been somewhat lacking in the iconic celebrity category over the course of the last week. That is: until now.
Step forward Cardi B, who landed in the city serving a wildly OTT floral look last night. The work of London designer Richard Quinn, the outfit featured a wide skirt, a nipped-in jacket, thigh-high boots, and a headscarf which covered her entire face. If you’ve ever seen his show and wondered how the models actually manage to make it down the catwalk, Cardi confirmed it’s basically through sheer luck: “Make sure a car don’t hit me, ‘cos a bitch can’t see!” she called out to her bodyguard, as the paparazzi swarmed around her.
It wasn’t the first time someone turned up to fashion week totally incognito this season, though. One half of anonymous creative duo Checking Invoices, known for their love of morphsuits, was invited to sit front row at the Fendi show in Milan earlier this month. Could the trend be catching on? Watch this space… or rather, get your bodyguard to.
