Cardi B turns heads in chic cut-out dress at THR & Power Stylists Instagram event

Cardi B put her signature sultry touch on a classic black dress at The Hollywood Reporter and Instagram Power Stylist Dinner at Sunset Tower in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (March 27), celebrating the year 25 Best Celebrity Stylists.

Joined by her stylist Kollin Carter — who she's been working with since 2017 — at the event, the “Enough (Miami)” rapper was photographed wearing a chic high-slit black midi dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline and cutouts and straps along the length of the bust. The look was completed with a classic updo, sheer tights, black heels, silver accessories and a sparkling clutch.

“There are so many obstacles against us,” Cardi said THR of her struggles in the fashion industry. “For example, this body is not meant for a size 2… It wasn't easy, but we make it look easy. Our door has been closed many times, but we are here because we do it well.”

Carter added, “We've scrutinized, year after year, we've come across records that are impossible to access. We caused a cultural shift. I don't think there were many women like Cardi out there in fashion. Now there are many other female rappers aspiring to be in this space because they see what is possible. We set trends.”

Andrew Mukamal, Brad Goreski, Danyul Brown, Dara, Enrique Melendez, Erica Cloud, Erin Walsh, Jamie Mizrahi, Jessica Paster, Samantha McMillen, Shiona Turini, Warren Alfie Baker and Wayman & Micah were all also present at the event as spotlight stylists. . Celebrity attendees at the intimate dinner included Aja Naomi King, Awkwafina, Cardi B, Demi Moore, Glen Powell, Hunter Schafer, Lisa Rinna and more.
