Cardi B spells love with Stefon Diggs' name on her nails
The 'Bodak Yellow' hitmaker recently turned heads at Spotify Beach during the Cannes Lions Festival, where she delivered an electric performance packed with some of her greatest hits, including the crowd-pumping 'Bartier Cardi' and her latest single 'Outside.' But it wasn't just her music that caught everyone's attention—it was what she wore on her hands that really had fans talking.
Dressed in a vivid orange and white ensemble dripping in sequins and fringe, Cardi B looked summer-ready from head to toe.
She completed the eye-catching outfit with orange tabi boots by Maison Margiela and topped the look with a wide-brimmed sunhat. But perhaps the most personal detail of her look came in the form of her custom manicure.
Created by celebrity nail artist Coca Michelle, Cardi's fresh almond-shaped nails were painted in orange and white vertical lines—perfectly mirroring her performance outfit. But the real showstopper? Her nails bore the name 'Stefon Diggs' written in ornate black script that spanned across both hands.
Michelle showcased the artwork on Instagram with the caption, "@iamcardib Cannes @spotify Performance 🧡," confirming the manicure's special tribute.
Cardi's nail game has long been a barometer of her mood, and this latest set screams loud and clear—she's in love and unapologetically proud of it. The manicure came hot on the heels of Cardi's hard-launch of her relationship with the New England Patriots wide receiver.

On June 1, she shared a series of boat-side Instagram photos, one of which showed the pair locked in an intimate gaze. With that post, the rumors were put to rest.
Cardi and Diggs were no longer just a whisper—they were official. Seeing this new gesture, fans can't stop but commenting on the love she is showering. One fan said, "Oh, she's smitten." Another goes saying, "I love how love makes you do silly things."
It's no surprise that Cardi is channeling her emotions into bold beauty statements.
After filing for divorce from Offset in 2024, a source revealed that the decision 'wasn't easy' for her. 'She has two kids already, is pregnant and is also a working mom,' the source told PEOPLE. 'She'd love to have a great marriage too, but she needs to end it… It's been a long time coming. She's matured a lot. She knows exactly what she wants her life to look like.
'
Her ex, Offset, didn't go quietly. In May 2025, TMZ reported that he had filed an amended divorce response requesting spousal support—something Cardi didn't take lightly.
She responded with an explosive rant on X, delivering a scathing message that made headlines for its intensity.
But with the past firmly in the rearview, Cardi B is all in on her new chapter. And like everything she does, she's putting her personal stamp on it—literally. Her relationship with Stefon Diggs isn't just Insta-official; it's manicure-official. And in true Cardi style, she's making sure the world sees it, sparkles and all.
