Motion to rename "Paris Haute Couture Week" to “Cardi B Fashion and Beauty Week.” The rapper, who is gearing up for the release of her second album Am I the Drama? later this year, turned the streets of Paris into her own personal runway with look after look after look, including curls so full and bountiful, “big hair” doesn't even begin to cut it.
Cardi turned up the volume to 11—or maybe even 12 or 13—for the Balenciaga show with massive curls that spilled over her shoulders and down her back, ending just above her hips. To call this a voluminous hairstyle is an understatement; it's so packed with body and oomph that even the ‘90s supermodels with their signature bouncy blowouts and sky-high hairstyles would be jealous. Cardi’s hair was parted to the side with the front portion teased up for several inches of volume at the root, then styled in big, loose curls that matched the romantic-goth vibes of her sheer black beaded gown. If you were to DIY this look at home, you'd need some giant Velcro rollers, a teasing comb, and lots and lots (and lots) of hairspray.

The rapper's glam team, including hairstylist Mia Jackson (a.k.a. Tokyo Stylez) and makeup artist Erika La' Pearl, have been busy crafting tons of different looks for Cardi as she attends the shows, but this miiiight just be our favorite. Skinny brows, an exaggerated cat-eye, and a rich red lip added to the maximalist Parisian glamour.
Cardi's “WAP” duet partner Megan Thee Stallion is also feeling the big hair vibes; she recently showed off some full, feathery Farrah Fawcett-style waves and a thick, sideswept bang. On the flipside, fellow Balenciaga attendee Kim Kardashian—who also walked in the show—went short for the occasion with a cute flippy bob. If there was ever a time to go big—really, really big—it's Haute Couture Week, right?
