Couture is the costar of Cardi B‘s new music video, “Imaginary Playerz.” Released on Friday, the video features the rapper bragging about her love for high fashion, while delivering lines about the difference between vintage and archive, saying she is “Striped like Thom Brown” and “I got more Gaultier than Jean probably.”
To create the visuals for her comeback single, Cardi worked with her longtime stylist Kollin Carter. The video starts with Cardi modeling a dramatic red dress with a 3D floral-embellished coat from Tony Ward’s fall 2024 couture collection, while walking on the tarmac to board a private jet.
