Cardi B stuns Paris Couture Week with live crow on her arm in fierce Schiaparelli look

Schiaparelli's show at Paris Couture Week
Cardi B's Schiaparelli is the latest in the fashion house's list of dramatic ensembles. Elsa Schiaparelli, the founder of the house, built her legacy on fashion that leaned toward the absurd. Lobster dresses, hats shaped like shoes, unexpected textures, objects placed where they didn't belong - and that was the point. Her clothes played with ideas, not just shapes.
Daniel Roseberry, the brand's current artistic director, has kept that legacy intact. His Fall 2025 couture show unfolded in stark black and white, draining away every bit of color to focus on structure and emotion.
Inside, the show had the feel of a moody film. There was sharp tailoring, oversized silhouettes, and dresses that looked like sculptures in motion. Metallics caught the light in flickers. But the real shift came in how the clothes moved.

Roseberry ditches heavy corset aesthetics for breezy flair
Roseberry let go of his usual corset-heavy aesthetic, as the past collections were known for extreme body shaping. This time, the designs breathed. They had rhythm and flexibility. It felt like a release, not a break from tradition, but an evolution of it.
The designer told ABC News the inspiration came from Elsa's 1940 escape from Nazi-occupied Paris to New York, where she left everything behind. That moment - between destruction and survival - inspired the entire show.
The Petit Palais hosted the show, and the timing couldn't have been better. Inside, there's currently an exhibit on Charles Worth - the British designer who basically invented haute couture by bringing artistry to French fashion.
The contrast made sense. In rooms dedicated to craft and tradition, Schiaparelli offered a glimpse of the future. And not a digital one, but something handcrafted, strange, and real.
Schiaparelli still knows how to shock after ten years
Since its relaunch a decade ago, Schiaparelli has become a favorite on red carpets and found commercial stability, which is a rare thing in couture. But its real power is still the sense of surprise.
And on opening day, as Cardi B's crow flapped and shrieked, it was clear that Schiaparelli doesn't just make clothes, it creates moments.

With Brad Pitt's 'F1' success, rising star Damson Idris enters Hollywood's fast lane
The British-Nigerian actor was in the zone, in character, filming the high-octane summer movie 'F1' with Brad Pitt at some of the world's most famous racetracks read more Damson Idris was trying to tune out the noise, but that's a little difficult at a Formula One race. The British-Nigerian actor was in the zone, in character, filming the high-octane summer movie 'F1' with Brad Pitt at some of the world's most famous racetracks. While Idris' profile has been rising in recent years, after six seasons starring in the FX series 'Snowfall,' there's nothing like being next to globally famous Formula One drivers and a Hollywood megastar to put things into perspective. He was pretty sure he was going to coast under the radar. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Then he started hearing not just his own name from fans in the crowd but 'Franklin Saint,' too, the name of his drug kingpin character on 'Snowfall.' 'It's funny, because I see myself as a young actor who nobody knows,' Idris, 33, said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. Revving up to the next level Anonymity may already be a thing of the past for Idris, though. In May, he made a splash at the Met Gala, arriving in a full racing suit (branded with 'F1's' fictional team name APXGP) and a Swarovski crystal-studded helmet that he and two ushers removed to reveal a second look underneath. The boldness and theatricality of the stunt made it one of the most talked about moments at an event where everyone is trying to stand out. And things are poised to rev up even more when 'F1' opens globally Friday. Speeding into theaters on a wave of great reviews and the promise of a 'Top Gun: Maverick'-style spectacle, filmmaker Joseph Kosinski is pretty sure Idris is going to start hearing people shout 'Joshua Pearce' at him too. That's the name of Idris' character, the hotshot rookie driver of the worst team on the circuit who's desperate to prove himself and hang on to one of the coveted seats. 'I'm very excited for people to see him own this character and go toe to toe with a giant movie star,' Kosinski said. 'I think he can do anything. He's just super talented, and I feel like I'm lucky to see him at the beginning of what's going to be a pretty stratospheric launch.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Idris tries to seek out projects that challenge him and characters who are as different as possible — from each other and, especially, from him. Joshua Pearce fit the bill in a moment when he was preparing to say goodbye to Franklin Saint. After he read the 'F1' script, the character even infiltrated his dreams. 'I said to myself, 'Man, no one's going to be able to play this part like I will.' I remember writing Joe (Kosinski) a letter and telling him that,' Idris said. 'When we finally jumped in the cars for the first time, I was hooked. I was like, 'Yep this movie's mine. It's no one else's and I can't wait to give my all to it.' And that's exactly what I did.' Giving it his all at 180 mph 'F1' wouldn't just require playing a part. Both he and Pitt had to learn how to drive the cars at speeds of up to 180 mph. It took months of training behind the wheel the supervision of stunt drivers Luciano Bacheta and Craig Dolby, as well as physical training to adapt to the G-forces they'd feel in the car. When it came time to film, which they did with special cameras attached to the cars, sometimes they were driving during breaks at real races with hundreds of thousands of spectators around. Every time you see Idris' or Pitt's face in the car, Kosinski said, they're really driving that car. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It's so insane. It's actually quicker in real life and it looks really fast on the screen,' Idris said. 'In a split second, a decision could be really detrimental. But I couldn't imagine doing this movie any other way. If it was on green screen, you'd be able to tell.' There's a bit of art-meets-life symmetry wrapped up in 'F1,' in which an up-and-comer teams up with a veteran. In the film, it's a reluctant pairing of two alphas. The mentorship is fraught, the lessons are hard-earned and the competition is not exactly friendly. Unlike Joshua, Idris is more than willing to get advice from those around him, whether it's producers like Jerry Bruckheimer and Jeremy Kleiner, his director Kosinski, or his co-stars, from Pitt to Javier Bardem. 'I speak to them every day and I ask for advice,' he said. 'The main focus is on stories, playing characters that I can be proud of and range. That's everything I'm setting out to do in this career.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Acting was not always the goal for Idris. Like many kids in South London, he once dreamed of being a soccer player. Sure, the idea of being a renowned athlete held some appeal, but he also loved the sheer discipline it required. Then, at age 18, he realized he'd never be as great as Lionel Messi. 'When I see him one day, hopefully I'm blessed to meet him, I'm going to tell him that he's the reason why I quit football, because he was so good,' he said. 'Wonderfully, acting is a subjective industry, so I can at least cheat my way into working with Brad Pitt.' Cheating is, of course, a bit of cheeky hyperbole for an actor who studied drama at university and continued training at London's Identity School of Acting afterward. Since he made his stage debut in Ade Solanke's 'Pandora's Box' over 10 years ago, Idris has been hitting the pavement like the rest of his peers. And he's just getting started. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD What's next for Damson Idris Idris recently wrapped filming the Tomi Adeyemi adaptation 'Children of Bone and Blood' in Cape Town, South Africa. Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, Idris plays Prince Inan in the African fantasy that co-stars Viola Davis, Cynthia Erivo, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Idris' idol and real-life mentor Idris Elba. 'It's not just a namesake,' Idris said. 'I feel so blessed to be able to say that I'm like his little brother and I can call him and get advice.' Next up, Idris will prepare to portray Miles Davis in Bill Pohlad's 'Miles & Juliette,' about the jazz legend's romance with French singer Juliette Gréco. He's also founded a fine jewelry line, named Didris, inspired by his mother, and is getting into producing as well — his production company has a deal with FX Networks and wants to make opportunities for emerging talents. And like his character in 'F1,' Idris is learning to block out the noise. He knows that a film career is a long journey and there will be ups and downs. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It's a huge moment, but I'm fortunate to have so many people in my life that keep me grounded,' Idris said. 'I've soaked in information from people I admire who say the same thing during these higher moments: Pinch yourself, stay grounded, remember where you came from. 'That's exactly how I'm walking through this portal and into these next couple of years. I'm excited, I'm humbled, I am blessed and I can't wait to see what the future brings.'

"She still on his page": Cardi B's Stefon Diggs deletion leaves fans suspicious and divided — Split or publicity stunt?
Cardi B wiped Stefon Diggs from Instagram weeks after going public with their romantic French vacation. (Getty Images) The internet is buzzing once again, and this time, it's Cardi B and Stefon Diggs at the center of the storm. Just a month after the Grammy-winning rapper made her relationship with the NFL star Instagram official, fans were quick to notice something suspicious—every trace of Diggs has vanished from her social media. Fans react to Cardi B and Stefon Diggs breakup speculation The sudden deletion of their romantic posts came shortly after the couple's lavish getaway to France, where Diggs pulled out all the stops by renting the historic Château de Farcheville for Cardi. 'Why this man got us staying in a castle?' she asked her followers in June. 'I'm talking about a real castle.' That moment alone had fans convinced the two were stronger than ever. But the silence that followed painted a different picture. Split Confirmed? Cardi B Erases Stefon Diggs l The TMZ Podcast Adding fuel to the speculation, Cardi didn't directly address the relationship rumors. Instead, she shifted the focus to her workload. 'In the past 72 hours, if you could count the time that we've slept… I think me, 6,' she said on July 6. 'That's why I don't want to hear no complaining from no fing body because I'm working my ass off. But I want this s f***ing bad.' While the hustle is real, fans couldn't help but notice the absence of any mention of Diggs. The pair's relationship journey had only recently begun to unfold publicly. From a cozy Valentine's Day dinner in February to a flirty appearance at Coachella, they seemed inseparable. Their June 1 Instagram debut was the tipping point—complete with a yacht ride, PDA, and even a moment where Diggs received a lap dance from the rapper. Cardi even sported a custom manicure that had Diggs' name written across her nails. So, what went wrong? That's the question fans are debating. Some believe the couple may be facing rocky waters. Others, however, are chalking it all up to strategy. One fan named @B3SS_BM on X, wrote, 'Do I believe Cardi and Stefon broke up? Nope. Do I believe they decided to be more private because people are overly weird and obsessed? Yup.' And many echoed the sentiment in the comments. Responding to this post, one user named @QUEEN___chink wrote, "She still on his page so maybe it's just for album roll out." Another with the user name @sexyslim2311 commented, "Her post is still up on her threads so it wouldn't make sense to delete it off of IG but not threads it when they both post automatically together so I would think she got reported on IG for that post and IG deleted it." A third user @Bombshell_Bee_ added, "Cardi said in her group chat 'more private ,less hints. So I'm pretty sure she still with him." Fans speculate the photo purge is a strategy to go private, not a breakup confirmation. (Image vis X) In today's digital age, a simple photo deletion can stir up storm-sized theories. Whether this is a carefully orchestrated PR play or a genuine sign of trouble in paradise, one thing's for sure—Cardi and Diggs have the internet watching their every move. For now, fans will have to keep refreshing those feeds for answers.
