Cardi B Continued Her Couture Streak With Feathers and Sequins

Yes, Paris;s bi-annual couture shows in Paris are a showcase for some pretty stellar runway fashion. But (sometimes, more interestingly) it’s also an excuse for countless celebrities to pull out equally as show stopping looks for the occasion.
