Cardi B in Rahul Mishra: When Couture Becomes a Love Story

Published

9 July 2025

There are moments in fashion that move beyond spectacle and become something quietly unforgettable — when a garment doesn’t just dress a woman, it seems to reveal her truest, most delicate power. Last night in Paris was one of those rare moments.

Cardi B x Rahul Mishra

Stepping out in Rahul Mishra’s Becoming Love couture creation, Cardi B wasn’t merely attending an event; she was inhabiting a dream meticulously brought to life by dozens of patient hands. The gown, a deep, romantic red, wrapped around her figure with almost flowing grace. Its sculpted bodice donned over a long skirt that sparkled with the subtlest of embellishments, catching light like tiny whispers. But it was the captivating radiance of oversized roses — blossoming around her shoulders and arms — that transformed the look into a living composition.

Rahul Mishra a Visionary Designer

Rahul Mishra, whose work is known to be deeply personal, a painstaking craftsmanship and storytelling, put together the essence of this moment best in his own words. He shared the images of Cardi on Instagram, and wrote:

“Last night was truly special

It meant the world to have Cardi B @iamcardib with us, not just as a muse but as the embodiment of our collection’s spirit.”

There is something rare and beautiful about the alignment of muse and maker. Cardi B, known for her fierce energy and fearless approach to personal style, carried Mishra’s vision with a softness that felt almost surprising. She stood poised and radiant, letting the roses curve protectively around her as though she were both queen and bloom. It was a tender contradiction — strength wrapped in the language of delicate petals — and together, the designer and star created a fashion moment that goes beyond any ordinary red carpet appearance.

Mishra’s work has long been a quiet celebration of nature, romance, and renewal. Each of his pieces seems to hold a certain patience — the embroidery is slow and deliberate, the features thoughtfully considered, as if reminding the world that beauty worth having can’t ever be rushed. With Becoming Love, he appeared to push this philosophy even further, turning fabric into a narrative about opening up, standing unguarded, and letting oneself be seen.

Cardi B x Rahul Mishra

Seeing Cardi B in this masterpiece only underscored how universal that story truly is. It’s easy to focus on the grandness of couture — the hours of labor, the luxury, the sheer visual spectacle. But sometimes, the most moving part is how it allows a woman to stand fully inside a fantasy that feels crafted just for her. Watching Cardi move in Mishra’s creation felt exactly like that: a private story shared in a public space, tender yet undeniably powerful.

And under the lights in Paris, for a brief and shining moment, love itself seemed to take shape — in velvet, roses, and the confident glow of a woman who knows precisely who she is.

Kim Kardashian has turned the All’s Fair press tour into a study fashion narrative. On October 22, she launched the tour in Paris in an exquisite baby-blue satin gown from John Galliano’s Spring/Summer 2000 collection for Dior. It was a vintage couture piece with a fluid metallic sheen.

The design combined nostalgia and power through its sculpted peplum waist, deep neckline, and soft train. The gown mirrored the character traits of Allura Grant romantic, self-possessed, and unforgettable.

Two days later, on October 24, Kim was regal. For her London appearance, she wore a black leather corset dress with snakeskin patterns by Dilara Findikoglu, her neck down to her breast were covered in bold chains, for this look, she wore no earring, she completed the look in a pair of leather boots. The edgy, sophisticated outfit, once worn by Naomi Campbell, radiated confidence and danger, a darker part of the movie’s central theme: that power always has a price. The outfit felt like Allura allure moving from the courtroom to the battlefield.

By early November, Kardashian shared a carousel of “Press Tour Looks” on Instagram, a curated gallery of couture pieces, each of these reinforced her belief that it is possible to push boundaries creatively since becoming Allura Grant: strength wrapped in elegance, control disguised as charm. As she previously said in an interview when discussing the role, “I think me starting a new challenge and something that I want to try in my 40s is maybe inspiring to someone.” Together, the looks formed a visual narrative of ambition and reinvention.

Across these appearances, Kim didn’t just wear clothes, she became them. The All’s Fair press tour has become her runway, where fashion and fiction converge. From Galliano’s archival grace to Findikoglu’s modern rebellion, Kardashian proves that in both style and story, she knows exactly how to own the narrative.
