Cardi B got a Kim Kardashian makeover as she flaunted her curves in a striking blue ensemble during a trip to Paris over the 4th of July weekend.
The WAP singer, 32 - who is currently embroiled in a dramatic divorce battle with estranged husband Offset - wore a mini dress with a turtleneck and long sleeves in a brilliant shade of blue.
The look was reminiscent of a figure-hugging Balenciaga gown that the SKIMS founder donned while attending the Vanity Fair Oscars party in 2022.
But unlike Kim's gown, the hem of Cardi's dress was extremely short and her frock had a dazzling embellishment on the left hip.
The rapper's raven hair was parted down the middle and styled in a sleek, low ponytail — which was also similar to Kim's 2022 look.
Cardi left two long pieces of hair down, which framed her face and cascaded down her torso.

Her makeup was glammed up and comprised of a warm blush to her cheekbones while a nude-colored tint was worn on her lips.
At the Vanity Fair Oscars bash three years earlier, Kardashian had also done her makeup with similar shades.
Cardi B's outing in Paris comes shortly after she announced her long awaited second album Am I the Drama? on June 23.
Am I the Drama? follows the success of the rapper's 2018 debut Invasion of Privacy, which won the Grammy for Best Rap Album in 2019.
The album drops on September 19, and in addition to her new song Outside and other new music, the 23-track record will feature her No. 1 smash hits Up and WAP with Megan Thee Stallion.
In her first single from the upcoming album, Outside, she appears to diss her ex Offset, 33, with lyrics that allude to her more recent romance with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
Cardi shares three children with Offset — Kulture, six, Wave, three, and Blossom, eight months.
'Do you how you do me, bet you we won't speak again,' she rapped in the track. 'Favorite player from your favorite team, he in my DM.'
The Girls Like You rapper - who has gone Instagram official in her romance with Diggs, now a member of the New England Patriots - rapped the lyrics 'heard them Patriots got them n*****, let me in the locker room.'
Diggs has been a mainstay in the NFL for 10 seasons, playing his first five seasons with the Minnesota Vikings before playing for the Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans in the years since.
The release of the track comes less than a year after the Bodak Yellow artist filed for divorce from the Migos rapper.
The hip-hop mainstay, whose full name is Belcalis Almánzar, a few weeks back delved into her family's over-the-top finances and made a dig at her estranged husband Offset in a furious social media stream.
In it, she said that the rapper has not pitched in a penny for the kids since their split.
Cardi B added on X Spaces: 'A whole year straight, you have left me with the kids' bills. Y'all want to know what's the kids' bills? Start adding.
'My kids got their own driver — they pick them up from school, they drop them off and they take them to gymnastics and boxing classes. The kids' driver is on a retainer for $10,000 a month.'
Cardi B audited the expensive tuitions she is footing the bill for, claiming Offset didn't help with any of it.
'Kulture's school this year — you didn't pay for it — that's $45,000,' said Cardi B. 'Wave's school a year is $35,000, which you didn't help me pay for it this year at all.'

Cardi said she pays a relative $3,000 weekly to babysit, and a nanny for their baby Blossom charges a daily fee of $500.
Cardi B listed a series of ancillary charges she's eaten in the near-year since their bitter breakup.
'Kulture and Wave get tutoring four times a week. Each hour is $250. Count that up,' she said. 'Kulture's piano class, that's $300 an hour and she gets piano classes three times a week.
'I'm not sure how much is gymnastics and Wave's boxing classes, but I pay that too,' she added.
The I Like It performer also was critical of Offset for seeking spousal support in the split, again itemizing expenses she's paid for without his assistance.
'Kiari, have I asked you for anything?' the Bodak Yellow vocalist said. 'You want spousal support so bad.
'And mind you, this is not even including food - my kids have a personal chef that comes from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. that I pay for because people in my house don't have time to cook.'
Cardi also said that Offset has 'seen Blossom only like five times' since her birth last fall.
She added, 'I been trying to save your face. I said you can see my kids in my house. I want my daughter to feel the love of her dad. He hasn't seen his kids since March.'
Cardi B filed for divorce from the musical artist in July of 2024, and petitioned the court for full custody of their three kids. She and Offset initially wed in 2017 and had previously filed for divorce in 2020, but eventually called it off.
