Crown Snatched! Here Are All The Reasons Why Cardi B Is Our 'Fashion Icon Of The Year'

The receipts don't lie.

If you weren’t paying close attention, you may have missed how quickly Cardi B has gone from a “regular degular shemgular girl from the Bronx,” to a fashion-forward megastar holding front row seats during Fashion Week!

From collaborations and endorsements to posting videos in her Fashion Nova jeans, the 26-year-old “Money” rapper has become highly-coveted in the world of fashion as each designer/brand looks to find a way to have Cardi’s name associated with their brand.

Money moves, it must feel good to be winning!

Styled to perfection whenever she steps on a red carpet, poses for a magazine, or flaunts her fashions on Instagram, we find that with fashion stylist Kollin Carter on her Rolodex, her looks are bound to garner her a best-dressed title.

As if you need receipts, we compiled Cardi’s most memorable moments in fashion this year that has single-handedly convinced us she deserves the label of 2018’s Fashion Icon Of The Year. Enjoy!
