Baltimore, Maryland – In a night that blended high-stakes NFL drama with high-fashion glamour, Cardi B turned heads and sparked viral frenzy at M&T Bank Stadium on December 21, 2025, during the New England Patriots’ thrilling 28-24 comeback victory over the Baltimore Ravens. While her boyfriend, Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, delivered a standout performance with 9 receptions for 138-139 yards, helping secure a playoff berth for New England (now 12-3), it was Cardi B’s sidelines spectacle – particularly her $125,000 rare vintage Hermès Jean Paul Gaultier Birkin shoulder bag – that became the unexpected headline.

The rapper, dressed in a full-length mink fur coat, platinum-blonde hair, and exuding unapologetic energy, sat in a luxury suite alongside Patriots owners Robert Kraft and his son Jonathan. Cameras caught her trash-talking Ravens fans with the now-iconic line: “Enjoy your trip to Cancun!” – a savage nod to Baltimore’s fading playoff hopes. The moment went mega-viral, amplified by the awkward optics of the Krafts smiling behind her as she leaned into the rivalry.

But the real buzz exploded post-game when fashion insiders identified her accessory: an extremely rare green vintage Hermès Jean Paul Gaultier Birkin, created in 2004 during Gaultier’s short stint as Hermès’ creative director. This one-of-a-kind piece features a dramatic half-cut design, making it a holy grail for collectors. Reports claim it was flown in specially for the occasion and retailed around $125,000 – turning Cardi B’s game-day look into a subtle (or not-so-subtle) flex of luxury and status.

Online reactions were immediate and divided. “Cardi B just turned an NFL game into a fashion runway – that Birkin is museum-worthy!” one fan tweeted. Others focused on the price tag: “While Diggs is balling out on the field, Cardi’s casually carrying a quarter-million in accessories. Power couple goals!” Fashion accounts dissected the bag’s history, noting its rarity and how it elevated her from celebrity girlfriend to cultural icon.

The game itself was a nail-biter. The Patriots trailed early but rallied in the fourth quarter behind quarterback Drake Maye’s heroics, including key touchdown drives. Diggs, in his first season with New England after stints with the Vikings, Bills, and Texans, ended a recent quiet stretch with his fourth 100-yard game of 2025. His clutch catches, including a crucial 21-yard gain on fourth down, helped seal the win and clinch the Patriots’ first playoff spot since 2021.

Post-whistle celebrations were pure joy: Cardi B joined Diggs on the field, embracing him and his mother Stephanie in heartfelt moments captured on video. The couple – who welcomed a baby boy earlier in 2025 – radiated happiness, with Cardi recording the family dancing in triumph.

Cardi and Diggs’ relationship has been a highlight of the NFL season. From her WAG debut at Gillette Stadium in November (complete with matching fur coats) to supporting his lifestyle brand launches, Cardi has embraced the role with flair. Diggs, recovering from a 2024 ACL tear, has credited her as his “good luck charm.”

As the Patriots head to the playoffs and the Ravens (7-8 or similar) fight elimination, this game will be remembered for more than football. Cardi B reminded everyone that sometimes, the sidelines steal the spotlight – one $125,000 purse at a time.

In a season of comebacks, both on and off the field, Cardi and Diggs are the ultimate power duo.
