    Cardi B is having a really good year—just in case anyone was wondering. Her 2025 wrapped includes: a new album, a new baby, a new man, a new blonde bob, and a new Birkin bag. It's safe to say 2026 is coming up all Cardi.

    On Dec. 23—days ahead of the biggest gift-giving holiday of the year—the rapper hard-launched one of the rarest presents money can buy. Cardi is one of the blessed few to carry the John Paul Gaultier x Hermès Birkin, an impossibly rare release worth a stunning six figures.

    The masterpiece boasts a modern east-west silhouette (a departure from the Birkin's usual rectangular shape) and is covered in forrest green croc skin. It's one of only 10 ever produced and, as such, the purse costs $120,000.

    Beneath her lavish ensemble, Cardi wore a pair of skin-tight pantaboots. The sock-like style covered her legs entirely, providing her with a rare moment of modesty.
