Makeup-free Cardi B in workout gear at NYC court, heading to divorce court again?
She looked like a Hollywood diva when she went to court in New York City on Thursday morning in a fur hat, fur coat and stilettos with oversized sunglasses.
The mother-of-one almost looked like a modern-day Norma Desmond from the 1950 film Sunset Blvd.
But then hours later the 26-year-old singer was dressed down in a robe, workout clothes and slippers with not a bit of makeup on as she headed to the airport.
When heading to her flight, Cardi wore a graphic white shirt and pair of long tights that drew attention to her lean legs.
The I Like It singer was also spotted with her favorite black-and-yellow plaid blanket for the flight.
She completed her look with a long white cardigan and a pair of animal printed fluffy slippers.
Cardi kept her head down while spotted in the terminal and had her dark locks left out naturally.
She was fresh faced with no makeup on her olive-toned complexion.
The Bodak Yellow singer’s look was quite the de-glam from her earlier appearance a Queens criminal court following her ‘orchestration of a strip club brawl’ last August.
Cardi B strolled into the basement courtroom in high spirits, sporting a long fur coat with a matching hat, heeled boots, distressed jeans and bold taupe-framed sunglasses.
Her long neon yellow-green nails were on display as she clutched her demure black purse, despite the icy weather.
The star, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, is due to appear again in court on April 4.
The alleged assault occurred last August, when bartenders Baddie Gi and Jade of Angel’s Strip Club claimed that Cardi ordered an attack on the women because she believed her husband had had an affair with one of them.
A police spokesperson said that Cardi was allegedly ‘throwing chairs, bottles and hookahs in the club at 3 a.m.’ Cardi was reportedly caught on camera tossing an ice bucket at the women.
In October, Cardi surrendered to police and was subsequently arrested, fingerprinted, had a mugshot taken and was charged with one count of assault and two counts of reckless endangerment.
Police charged her with one count of assault and two counts of reckless endangerment over the incident.
US media reports say she allegedly ordered an attack on two sisters working at the club because one of them slept with her husband, the rapper Offset. In December, she said she and Offset had separated.
Prior to Thursday’s minutes-long court appearance, rumors were swirling that the pair were back together.
Leaving court in Queens, the Grammy-nominated rapper was asked by reporters if she was ‘back with Offset’ after the two split late last year amid rumors of infidelity. ‘We working things out, baby,’ Cardi, 26, coyly replied as she slid on her sunglasses and made her way to a waiting car.
Early Thursday, TMZ reported that Cardi and the Migos rapper, 27, had reconciled in Atlanta after Offset reportedly changed his phone number and instituted a ‘no groupies’ rule. Cardi quickly clapped back in a since-deleted tweet, writing, ‘TMZ why ya be lying. I haven’t even been in Atl since Christmas.’ The couple are expected in the Georgia capital this weekend, as both rappers are performing at Super Bowl events.
The couple secretly married in September 2017 and their daughter, Kulture, was born in July.
Cardi B is one of US music’s hottest stars thanks to the runaway success of her song ‘Bodak Yellow,’ which touches on her past life as a stripper.
She is no stranger to controversy — she was involved in a fracas with fellow rapper Nicki Minaj at New York Fashion Week in September, later taking to Instagram to say that the older Minaj had questioned her parenting skills.
At the Grammys in February, Cardi B will vie for two of the most prestigious awards — Album and Record of the Year.
