Cardi B’s eldest daughter, Kulture Kiari Cephus, is proving she’s got the strut, the style, and the star power to outshine even her rap superstar mom. At just 7 years old, the pint-sized fashionista turned heads during New York Fashion Week on September 12, 2025, channeling her inner supermodel at the Alexander Wang Spring/Summer 2026 show. Dressed in a fierce fur skirt ensemble that mirrored her mom’s oversized brown coat and boots, Kulture didn’t just attend—she owned the front row, striking poses that had photographers scrambling and social media buzzing with cries of “future icon.” In a world where celebrity kids often play sidekick, Kulture’s bold confidence is stealing the show, one sassy snap at a time.

The dynamic duo’s appearance at the star-studded event was pure mother-daughter magic. Cardi, 32, rocked a voluminous fur coat over fishnet tights and lace-up heels, her signature curves on full display, while Kulture slayed in a black bodysuit topped with a matching fur skirt, tiny boots, and oversized shades that screamed “don’t mess with me.” The youngster’s bantu knots and perfectly swooped baby hairs added that extra edge, turning heads from Martha Stewart—who sat nearby—to the entire fashion elite. Eyewitnesses described Kulture as “unfazed and fabulous,” posing like a pro as cameras flashed. “She walked up like she owned the runway,” one attendee told E! News, noting how the kiddo even vogued for the paps without a prompt. Cardi, beaming with pride, later reposted fan edits on her Instagram Story, captioning one: “My baby girl gettin’ it! 💅 Who’s next on the catwalk?”

This isn’t Kulture’s first rodeo in the modeling game. From viral TikToks of her nailing a runway walk at age 4—complete with hip pops and hair flips that racked up millions of views—to recreating her mom’s sultry poolside poses by Louis Vuitton bags at 6, the girl’s got natural flair. Just months ago, in June 2025, Cardi clapped back at online trolls criticizing innocent poolside pics of Kulture posing cutely, declaring on X: “Offset approved it, so I don’t care what y’all say. My daughter was born to be a model. Just ’cause a lil’ girl poses cute don’t mean she’s bad.” The post, which included clips of Kulture hamming it up in a swimsuit, sparked a wave of support from fans who flooded the comments with fire emojis and “Protect her talent!” messages. It’s a testament to Cardi’s fierce parenting—shielding her kid from haters while hyping her unapologetic vibe.

Born July 10, 2018, to Cardi (Belcalis Almanzar) and Offset (Kiari Kendrell Cephus), Kulture entered the world amid headlines, with her name—a nod to Cardi’s love for “culture”—becoming a cultural phenomenon itself. The Bronx-bred rapper announced her pregnancy dramatically during a 2018 Rolling Loud set, debuting her baby bump in a neon-green wig and barely-there bodysuit. Fast-forward to today, and Kulture’s life is a whirlwind of luxury and lessons. She shares siblings Wave Set, 4, and Blossom Belle, 1, with Offset—the Migos star from whom Cardi filed for divorce (again) in August 2024, though they’ve maintained a surprisingly amicable co-parenting setup amid custody talks.

Cardi’s no stranger to blending family with fame. At Kulture’s 7th birthday bash in July 2025—a lavish Hello Kitty extravaganza followed by a private-jet jaunt to Disney—the birthday girl posed like a seasoned influencer in front of her cake, complete with a custom crown and designer threads. Cardi shared the snaps on IG, writing, “My heart outside my body turns 7 today. Shine, baby girl! ✨” Offset chimed in too, posting a carousel of daddy-daughter moments and calling her his “inspiration.” But it’s the fashion flexes that keep stealing scrolls: Kulture’s been decked out in $2,400 Balenciaga fits for Disneyland trips and Chanel bags that rival her mom’s collection, proving the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree—or the runway.

The NYFW moment arrives on the heels of Cardi’s legal wins and life reinventions. Just weeks prior, a Manhattan jury cleared her in a civil assault trial stemming from a 2018 incident where she was accused of throwing a shoe at a videographer outside a doctor’s office—while pregnant with Kulture, no less. The verdict, delivered September 1, 2025, saw Cardi strutting into court in color-block wigs and power suits, turning the proceedings into a spectacle. “Free at last,” she tweeted post-win, before diving into Fashion Week promo for her sophomore album Am I the Drama?, dropping October 25. Tracks like “Invasion of Privacy 2.0” tease nods to motherhood’s madness, with insiders hinting at features inspired by her kids’ antics.

Kulture’s rise as a mini-model taps into a broader celeb-kid trend. Think North West, 12, who DJs for Yeezy and shades her mom’s SKIMS drops, or Blue Ivy Carter, 13, nabbing Grammys and ballet solos. But Kulture’s got that unfiltered Cardi edge—sassy, unapologetic, and already clapping back via her mom’s posts. Child psychologists applaud the exposure, noting in a 2025 Parents Magazine piece that guided public moments build resilience, as long as boundaries are set. Cardi seems to nail it: No full-face IG account (yet—that was a short-lived 2020 experiment with 600K followers), but plenty of empowering glimpses.

Social media’s lit up like a runway light show. On X, #KultureKiari trended post-NYFW, with users posting: “Kulture ate and left no crumbs at Wang—future VS Angel fr.” TikTok edits mash her poses to Cardi’s “Bodak Yellow,” amassing 10 million views overnight. Even fashion vets like Anna Wintour reposted the duo’s pics on the Vogue account, captioning: “The next generation of fierce.” Critics? Mostly drowned out, though a few grumbled about “pushing kids too soon”—a shade Cardi shut down quick: “My child poses ’cause she wants to. Let kids be kids… in Dior.”

For Cardi, these moments are more than cute content—they’re legacy-building. The Grammy winner, who’s flipped her strip-club past into a $80 million empire (Fenty deals, Revolt TV stake, and that rumored Vegas residency), credits Kulture with grounding her. “This girl taught me patience and power,” she told Jennifer Hudson in a September 2025 sit-down, eyes misty as she scrolled through baby pics. Offset, 34, echoes the sentiment, sharing rare co-parenting wins like their joint “Little Mermaid” premiere in 2023, where Kulture modeled her princess gown on video.

As NYFW wraps and Cardi’s tour looms (kicking off February 2026 in Miami), Kulture’s star is only rising. Will she hit the actual catwalk soon? Cardi teased in a post-show IG Live: “If she wants it, the world’s hers. But doctor’s her dream job too—doc in Dior?” Fans are here for it, flooding comments with “Book her for Fashion Week 2026!” and heart-eyes galore.

In a city that eats egos for breakfast, Kulture’s serving sparkle with substance—proving that at 7, she’s already strutting circles around us all. Cardi couldn’t be prouder, and neither could we. Keep slaying, mini-B: The runway’s waiting.
