As for accessories, Cardi opted to go minimal, save for a pair of pearl statement earrings in a teardrop style that complemented the cascading strings of pearls as part of her sculptural ensemble.
When it came to Cardi's glam, the rapper went old school. Her hair was styled in a blunt bob with a sinuous side part reminiscent of the aesthetic popularized during the 'roaring' 1920s. Her makeup included standout elements like bold brows, dramatically lined eyes and a glossy lip.
Cardi posed for photos with a live raven on the steps of the Petit Palais ahead of the show. WWD caught up with the rapper at the show, inquiring about her feelings when posing with the raven. 'I'm not scared of the bird,' the rapper told WWD's Joelle Diderich. 'That's my friend! I control him; we're best friends,' Cardi said.

The rapper has a long-standing relationship with Schiaparelli and previously attended the haute couture show in 2023. For the 2023 edition of the haute couture collection show, Cardi wore a similarly extravagant ensemble.
Channeling creative director Daniel Roseberry's animal-inspired 2023 collection, Cardi wore a cape covered in wool tendrils, which gave the illusion of black feathers. Upon removing the cape, the rapper revealed a sleek, strapless black dress with gold trim at the neckline and lace-up gold corsetry elements at the back.

Michael Jordan Picked Kevin Durant Over LeBron James And Kobe Bryant In Resurfaced Video
Michael Jordan Picked Kevin Durant Over LeBron James And Kobe Bryant In Resurfaced Video originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Kevin Durant recently took a hilarious jab at Michael Jordan while praising LeBron James' longevity. Following his comments, fans were not very pleased on social media and called him out. Durant was hence forced to reveal that he did not mean to disrespect Jordan and holds him in a very high regard. So much that he claimed to have spent $1 million on just Jordan's shoes. Advertisement Following this, a basketball page on Instagram resurfaced an old fan-made video that included Michael Jordan's 2013 interview with Ahmad Rashad, where Jordan indicated what he felt about Kevin Durant. It was also combined with Kobe Bryant's comments on Durant from his appearance on 'The Corp With A-Rod and Big Cat' in 2018. When Jordan was asked to pick between Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, he got flustered and could not decide. "Well, I'd say... Kevin Durant," said Jordan as he hilariously tried to create a way out for himself from that question. But it indicated that Jordan felt Durant belonged in the same discussion as James and Bryant. Following this, the video cuts to Kobe Bryant's comments on Durant after he retired, where he claimed he was the hardest to guard. Advertisement "Kevin Durant, that was the one I had to retire without having been able to figure out what it is that he--- how I can stop him." Then the video cuts to Durant's comments on what he said to Patrick Beverley during their back-and-forth trash-talking in a Warriors game. "Back and forth with Patrick Beverley, I'm Kevin Durant, you know who I am. Y'all know who I am." While the video is originally a fan-made video to highlight Kevin Durant's greatness, some fans were still unhappy with Durant and criticized him in the comments section. Fans also pointed out that in the original interview with Rashad, Jordan in fact corrects himself later and answers the question directly, saying LeBron James is more dominant but Kobe Bryant is a better winner. Here are some other criticisms that Durant got from the fans in the post's comment section. Advertisement "They cut the scenes. MJ was just playing, he was going to take LBJ or Kobe anyway over KD. He can't win nothing without Steph [Curry]." "He was clearly joking because he didn't want to choose between them. Jeez the internet is dumb." "Insecure can never be GOAT." "Unlimited skill but can't win a chip by himself. The definition of good for no reason lol" "People are gonna feed into this knowing he said something different." "The Boston Celtics made this man look pedestrian in the playoffs." To be fair, James and Bryant are better than Durant in almost every statistical measure except scoring. James has accumulated more points in five more years in the league, sure, but Durant averages better numbers for his career. James has averaged 27.0 points per game for 22 seasons so far, while Durant has averaged 27.2 points per game in 17 seasons played in the NBA. Advertisement If Durant plays as long as James has played, then he would potentially surpass his all-time record. However, that would also require him to be consistent for that duration. At age 36, Durant is only four years younger than James but two seasons behind in parallel (James started playing at 18 while Durant was 20 years old). But James is about to play another season in the NBA, at least. Do you think Durant could play until age 43 to beat James' record?

Blake Griffin shares bizarre Donald Sterling locker room encounter
More than a decade after he was banned from the NBA, the bizarre Donald Sterling stories are still flowing. Former Clippers star Blake Griffin detailed an awkward locker room interaction he had with the franchise's former owner during an appearance on 'The Adam Friedland Show' this week. 'He would come in with his crew, it'd be like 10-12 people with him in the locker room. And we'd all have towels on,' Griffin recalled. 'One time, I'm in a towel, [Sterling] comes over, grabs my arm, and he's got all his people in there and he goes, 'Let's hear it for our number one star, hip hip!' And he raised my arm, and all these people go 'hooray!' Advertisement 3 Blake Griffin apparently had some weird interactions with former Clippers owner Donald Sterling. Adam Friedland Show/YouTube 'And I'm sitting there holding the towel going 'hip hip, hooray!' He did it three times.' The No. 1 overall pick in 2009 also told the story of a time Sterling told some in attendance at one of his white parties to touch Griffin's ab and arm muscles. Advertisement 3 Former Clippers owner Donald Sterling gestures while watching the Clippers play the Los Angeles Lakers during an NBA preseason basketball game in Los Angeles. AP 'I was like 19 years old,' Griffin said. It's far from the first time Griffin, who spent eight-plus seasons with the Clippers, has ripped the disgraced Sterling. In a 2014 piece for The Players' Tribune, Griffin described Sterling as his 'weird uncle,' and stated that he had long known he was 'really, really a racist' and 'off his rocker.' Advertisement 3 Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin #32 shoots a free throw. March 25th, 2015. Anthony J. Causi / New York Post The ex-Clippers owner was banned from the league by commissioner Adam Silver in 2014 after recordings by his then-girlfriend V. Stiviano of a racist rant by Sterling — where he told Stiviano not to bring 'black people' to his games — emerged. Sterling also told Stiviano, 'You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that [Instagram] and not to bring them to my games.' Advertisement Griffin retired from the NBA in 2023 after 13 seasons in the league, making six NBA All-Star teams and five All-NBA teams. Next season, Griffin will serve as an analyst alongside Dirk Nowitzki and host Taylor Rooks on Amazon's new NBA studio show.

Steph Curry's secret weapons in golf? A YouTuber and his college hoops teammate
STATELINE, Nev. — Stephen Curry and Jason Richards share deep personal history. They formed the starting backcourt at Davidson for two seasons, with Richards playing point guard and baby-faced Curry scurrying around off the ball. Curry and Alex Riggs share a different kind of history. Curry watched some of Riggs' golf instructional videos on YouTube four or five years ago, liked the way he explained the swing and reached out on Instagram, a digital cold call. And now Richards and Riggs both are instrumental members of the Curry golf team. Their presence was unmistakable Friday at Edgewood Tahoe in the opening round of the American Century Championship. Curry started slowly, posted three birdies on the back nine and finished with 21 points in the modified Stableford scoring system, two behind former San Jose Sharks standout Joe Pavelski. Curry will begin play Saturday tied for third in the celebrity tournament alongside Lake Tahoe, well positioned to chase the title he memorably won two years ago. 49ers' George Kittle catches passes, smacks shots, muses on season ahead Warriors' Steph Curry talks hoops ahead of his return to Tahoe celebrity golf tourney His connection to Richards traces to the 2006-07 college basketball season, when Curry arrived at Davidson amid little fanfare — long before he was world-famous Steph Curry. Richardson, two years older, was entrenched at point guard. Curry slid into the lineup alongside him. He promptly committed 13 turnovers in his debut, against Eastern Michigan, before bouncing back the next night to score 32 points against Michigan. Their bond grew over the years and ultimately stretched onto the golf course, where Richards started serving as Curry's caddie at Edgewood about five years ago. 'We know each other so well, we call ourselves 'hand and glove' from Davidson,' Curry told the Chronicle after Friday's round. 'He knows how to kind of challenge me if I'm thinking ridiculous on the course, or keep me having confidence. It's just fun.' Or, as Richards said, 'When you're college teammates, there's a special bonding experience. That carries over. You go through a lot of ups and downs on a basketball team, and we sure did in those two years.' Friday offered one example of Curry momentarily 'thinking ridiculous,' and Richards bringing him back. Curry had resurrected his round with consecutive birdies on Nos. 14 and 15, before momentum-halting bogeys on the next two holes. Then his drive on No. 18 drifted into the gallery on the right, his path to the green blocked by trees. At first Curry planned to punch the ball back onto the fairway. Then he contemplated boldly threading a shot over the tree branches in front of him. Richards suggested hitting a low shot toward the green, aggressive but safely underneath the branches. Curry listened. He followed with a spectacular third shot, a soft pitch onto the green, to set up his final birdie of the day. Curry acknowledged Richards' help in making the decision, and also the value of his own self-awareness. 'That was knowing I'm not a professional golfer, and I want to win this tournament,' he said. 'This is kind of a cool shot, let's go for it. That's kind of what happened, and it worked out.' All the while, Riggs watched closely as he walked inside the ropes. His back story is interesting: He grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada, moved to Florida to teach golf and has been based in Dubai (in the United Arab Emirates) the past 14 years, working at a club there. He's posted 129 instructional videos on YouTube, some of which caught the attention of Curry, a self-acknowledged golf geek. He sent Riggs an unsolicited direct message, which Riggs initially thought was a bot until he saw the check mark verifying the sender really was Stephen Curry. They went back and forth a few times, leading to Curry sending Riggs an eight-minute video of his swing to break down. Then they connected in person in the summer of 2022, when Riggs came to the U.S. to visit tour players, celebrities and amateurs he tutors. Curry thought Riggs explained the golf swing in a sensible, easy-to-understand way, so they started working together each summer. Not coincidentally, in Curry's mind, his golf game soon improved. 'I didn't have much time in '22, after the Finals, but I kind of grinded and the foundation from that led to the summer of '23. And then we won,' Curry said, referring to his victory at Edgewood. 'So now he's kind of part of the crew, not just because of golf but he's also just a great dude. He has a great presence about him.' Curry's crew in Tahoe flows with family and friends, most notably Friday's playing partners — his dad, Dell, and brother Seth. Some lesser-known people also make the annual trip, filling notable roles in Curry's quest to excel as a golfer.
