Paris Fashion Week may as well have been Cardi B Fashion Week, for all the jaw-dropping outfits the rapper and icon dazzled in during her short time in the city.

Touching down in Paris with husband Offset, Cardi B brought with her a slew of high fashion looks that cemented her as one of the most influential figures in fashion today.

From dazzling in a showgirl-inspired Mugler look at an exhibition of the designer's work, to turning heads in matching outfits by Schiaparelli and supporting Offset as he walked in the star-studded Balenciaga show, Cardi was arguably the most eye-catching of all the celebrities taking in the fashion that week.

Among her couture-stuffed wardrobe were not one, but two outfits by revered London-Irish designer Richard Quinn, whose pieces are worn by everyone from Kendall and Kylie Jenner, to Celine Dion.

Quinn, who is based in London but whose parents are Irish, is known for his edgy designs that blend maximalism patterns with exaggerated silhouettes. He's a favourite of Cardi B's and dressed her for her last Paris Fashion Week in 2019, when she wore a full blue floral outfit.

Cardi first stepped out wearing a striking emerald green catsuit that combined a slinky high roll-neck top, long sleeves that incorporated gloves, a cinched gathered waist and trapeze trousers that covered her matching high heels.

It was a daring look that was central to Quinn's most recent collection, and was paired with a matching frilled bonnet that the star wore tied around her face. She finished off the look with a pair of matching green sunglasses, with her hair styled into classic finger waves.

Later that night, the Bodak Yellow rapper stepped out for a jewellery presentation in another Quinn creation, this time a bang-on-trend lavender jumpsuit that varied slightly from the green. This one featured a darling v-neck, a ruched bodice that enhanced the singer's hourglass figure and relaxed shoulders.

Cardi went retro with this look, adding a matching lavender headband to her voluminous beehive hairstyle, matching sunglasses and dazzling diamond earrings and necklace.
