Cardi’s tweet with a video that shows the rapper in a floral bodysuit, covered from head to toe ignited a controversy around the world as in 2010, France law forbids “any article of clothing intended to conceal the face” in public spaces.

Many Muslim women were upset as they are banned from wearing face veils for religious reasons.

Here is what people have to say about Cardi B’s Fashion Week’s look.

So it’s illegal for Muslim women to wear the niqab in France, but when Cardi B dresses in a “head to toe” outfit for Paris fashion week it’s celebrated ?? Make it make sense https://t.co/2zH8WsK4Ks
