Cardi B Means ‘Business’ When She Wears Her ‘Money Wig’

Cardi B is an equal part entertainer and entrepreneur, and she slays at both in style.

The rapper, 32, showed off her “business” look via Instagram on Wednesday, October 16, pairing a bouncy ’do with flipped ends and a classy-chic cashmere top.

In the clip, Cardi ran her fingers through her “money wig,” which came styled in an elegant deep side part with voluminous roots that cascaded into serious barrel curls. In keeping with the “rich mom” aesthetic, she elevated the shoulder-length look with a sleeveless gray turtleneck sweater and chunky silver earrings.

Cardi didn’t let the expensive-looking vibes stop there. She donned a full beat, including a dewy foundation, filled-in eyebrows, bronzed and rosy cheeks, strategic sweeps of highlighter across the tip of her nose and cheekbones plus perfectly lined lips. Her dramatic eye makeup spoke for itself, featuring a taupe shade blended into her crease, a nude shadow across her lid and sharp winged liner that accentuated her brown eyes. Long wispy eyelashes completed the look.

“I mean business when I put a turtleneck on and my money wig 😩,” Cardi captioned the post.

When it comes to fancy coiffures, Cardi has no shortage of options. On Tuesday, October 15, she channeled Old Hollywood beauty with big curls that were pushed over her forehead, at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York City.

Cardi paired her glam with a custom blush-pink dress by DSquared2, which hugged her curves in all the right places. The frock featured a strapless sweetheart neckline juxtaposed with crisscrossed sexy cutouts.

The pièce de résistance was a fuzzy Barbie pink coat that was perfectly matched to the Victoria’s Secret, not red, but pink carpet.

In true Cardi B fashion, she dripped in diamonds, including a necklace and gold earrings. A dainty jewel crystal glued to her cheek provided a subtle, sparkling finish.
