Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayCardi B Shares How Motherhood Has Changed Her Fashion
Cardi B likes diamonds, stunting and shining even more since becoming a mom.
The Grammy winner explained how being a mother to her four kids—Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 20 months, who she shares with ex Offset, as well as her 5-month-old son with Stefon Diggs—has altered her love for fashion.
"It hasn't. F--k that, they haven't changed me for sh--t!" Cardi joked during an exclusive interview with E! News, though the rapper conceded, "I'm not gonna go to my daughter's school with a see-through shirt or with a shirt [where] my nipples are rock hard."
Although the new Fashionphile ambassador knows how to shift her style between a red carpet and a school play, bold fashion is always a must for Cardi.
"Fashion is a big thing in my life. It makes me feel good, it makes me feel sexy," she said. "If I'm not working on music or if I'm not doing music videos, I want to get creative throughout the day. Changing your clothes, like doing different hair, doing different makeup, doing different accessories—I love fashion, fashion is my thing."
In fact, keeping up with the latest trends is one of Cardi's secrets to staying motivated through motherhood, especially amid "tour withdrawal."
"I like to get dressed up, I like to feel nice," Cardi shared. "When you look good, you want to work, you want to go outside, you want to do something."
Indeed, the "Bodak Yellow" singer's lifelong passion for fashion has encouraged her eldest, Kulture, to get in on the fun.
Fashionphile
"Oh my god. This girl [Kulture] is always in my closet," Cardi added with a laugh. "I'm about sick of it, but she already knows the rules—my clothes, whatever, and my shoes, whatever, but don't touch Mommy's purses. You already wrote on one of them."
"She loves colorful things," Cardi continued of her Kulture's penchant for graphics, rainbows and flowers. "She's a very vibrant girl…She's a girly girl."
As Cardi spends time with Kulture and the rest of her family off stage before diving into her next "less personal" album, she's excited to tap into other exciting projects, like becoming an ambassador for Fashionphile, the luxury fashion resale site.
Fashionphile
"Fashionphile is the perfect fit for me because they have some bags that I've been trying to look for all over the world," Cardi explained. "New bags, vintage bags, [ones] that they just don't have in the store anymore."
Plus, even though the Am I The Drama? artist loves to be spoiled with designer attire, she also loves a good deal.
"I like me a discount, honey," Cardi said of Fashionphile's prices. "I don't want to pay extra."
To relive Cardi's most daring ensembles, look no further.
