Cardi B must like her “Money” right where she can see it, hanging in her closet and in her hair! The 27-year-old Bronx native and celebrity hairstylist Tokyo Stylez joined forces to create a custom Louis Vuitton logo-printed ponytail.

Cardi debuted her platinum blond printed pony with a swooped side part in a Thursday, July 28, Instagram post. Captured from the front, the photo shows the mother of one wearing a Louis Vuitton skirt that was tailored and redesigned by African fashion designer Baba Jagne into a two-piece crop top set. The skirt retails for $1,620, while her sold-out Boite Chapeau bag is worth an estimated $7,000. The former “Love and Hip Hop: New York” reality star accessorized her outfit with gold bangles, nude platform heels, and large hoop earrings. She completed her appearance with a sexy smoky eye and pink lipstick. With the help of her shimmery gold highlighter, Cardi glowed in the photo. “I’m on my way …thanks @sirbabajagne skirt into a shirt!” she captioned the image.

Some people went absolutely insane over Cardi’s hair. Over 20,000 people wrote comments like “😍 This is so hotttttt I love it 👌🏽” and “This is soooo FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.”

Cardi shared a second image that showed how her hair looked from the back. In the shot, Cardi poses with one hand on the side of her head, giving fans a glimpse of her green coffin nails as her ponytail hangs behind her. The luxury brand’s logo appears to be embellished onto the waist-length ponytail in a dark brown color that matches the set she’s wearing.

Since the photo was taken from the back, fans were also able to get a peek at the colorful tattoo on her shoulder that she recently got touched up. Her body art, which is made up of roses, other colorful flowers, and monarch butterflies, starts from her shoulder and extends to the middle of one thigh.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
