Cardi B has never been one to dim her light, and her latest pregnancy—her fourth child, announced amid a whirlwind of divorce drama with Offset—has only amplified her unapologetic flair. At 32, the Grammy-winning rapper, born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, revealed she was expecting in August 2024, just hours after filing for divorce from her estranged husband of seven years. Fast-forward to 2025, and as rumors swirl about a possible fourth baby (despite her vehement denials in September), Cardi continues to dominate headlines with her bold, body-positive style. From barely-there bodysuits that hug her curves to oversized coats that tease just enough, her maternity looks are a masterclass in fierce, fearless fashion. It’s not just about the clothes; it’s Cardi’s refusal to hide, clubbing late into the night and shutting down critics with her signature clapbacks. As she puts it in a viral video, “I’m pretty, petty… and pregnant.” This isn’t passive maternity wear—it’s a statement of power, blending high-end glam with street-edge attitude that has fans and fashionistas buzzing.

Cardi’s pregnancy journey has been anything but conventional. She and Offset, 33, share three kids: daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, 7; son Wave Set Cephus, 3; and daughter Blossom, now 11 months old, born just months after the initial divorce filing in July 2024. The couple’s relationship has been a rollercoaster of reconciliations and splits, with Cardi announcing the third pregnancy as a “new beginning” on Instagram, captioning photos of her baby bump in a crimson Versace gown: “With every ending comes a new beginning.” By early 2025, however, fresh rumors erupted about a fourth child, sparked by her court appearances in a high-profile assault trial against security guard Emani Ellis. During testimony in August 2025, Cardi—dressed in loose blazers and strategically placed hand-over-belly poses—fueled speculation, leading to viral TikToks dissecting her every outfit. She shot back on Instagram Live: “Look 30 weeks pregnant? No, you stupid btch. I’m just fcking out of breath ’cause I have asthma.”

The drama peaked on September 2, 2025, outside a Los Angeles courthouse, where a reporter grilled her post-verdict (she was cleared of the 2018 assault claims): “Insiders are claiming Offset is bragging about getting you pregnant for the fourth time. Do you foresee paternity issues with Stefon Diggs?”—a nod to her rumored fling with the Buffalo Bills star. Cardi, fresh from victory, snatched a pen from a fan and hurled it at the reporter, snarling, “Stop disrespecting me. You’re disrespectful. Don’t do that.” Offset jumped in days later, addressing TikTok-fueled gossip on social media, but Cardi held firm: “Respect women!” she yelled to the press, flipping off photographers as she stormed away. Amid the mess, her style remained a constant flex—proving pregnancy doesn’t mean pausing the slay.

What sets Cardi’s maternity era apart is her commitment to body confidence, turning what could be a vulnerable time into a runway of empowerment. Take her August 2024 announcement: That floor-length red Versace gown, complete with a dramatic fur stole, wasn’t subtle—it was a siren call, the plunging neckline and side slits accentuating her bump like a weaponized hourglass. Fast-forward to her trial looks in August 2025: Oversized Balenciaga blazers over leather leggings screamed “boss in the boardroom,” while a hand strategically cradling her midsection added intrigue without apology. Fans on X raved, with one posting, “Cardi B always pregnant ,” capturing the mix of awe and exhaustion at her prolific glow-ups.

But it’s her nightlife style that’s truly “super fierce”—a term echoing Vietnamese fan lingo for her unyielding edge. Despite critics slamming her for clubbing while pregnant, Cardi defended it fiercely in an October 2025 clapback: “I’m an entertainer, honey! I’m a night owl.” A viral video from October 19 shows her in a black Mugler bodysuit that clings like second skin, fishnet panels teasing her bump, paired with sky-high stilettos and a waist chain that spells “Bardi.” She raps to her single “Imaginary Playerz,” collapsing dramatically on the floor in mock exhaustion—pretty, petty, and profoundly pregnant. The clip exploded on X, with users like @iamcardi_bot captioning it “Pretty & petty … and pregnant,” amassing millions of views. Collaborations with designers like House of CB and Area keep her looks fresh: Think crystal-embellished mini dresses that hit mid-thigh, balancing bump visibility with va-va-voom sex appeal.

Cardi’s fashion choices aren’t accidental; they’re a rebellion against maternity norms. “When you’re pregnant, I’m very disabled,” she testified in court, recounting the 2018 incident when she was four months along with Kulture, yet her style then—and now—defies fragility. She’s leaned into designers who celebrate curves: A September 2025 sighting had her in a sheer LaQuan Smith bodysuit under a leather trench, bumping and grinding at a Miami hotspot. Critics called it reckless; Cardi called it living. On Reddit’s r/popculturechat, fans debated: “Offset speaks out on rumors that Cardi is pregnant—girl, let her breathe!” Her response? A TikTok stitch: “I feel like I was withdrawing love… but nah, I’m out here thriving.”

This era ties into broader themes in Cardi’s life: resilience amid chaos. The divorce filing cited an “irretrievably broken” marriage with “no prospects for reconciliation,” yet Offset’s album Kiari (2025) raps about moving on peacefully, while Cardi insists, “I don’t have hate in my heart anymore.” She’s focused on co-parenting—”Kiari is allowed to see my kids”—and her career, dropping hints of a new album amid the baby buzz. Fashion-wise, it’s aspirational: A pregnant fan tweeted, “Ain’t no way Cardi B 164 pounds and she dang near ready to pop and my 4 month pregnant self is 158 pounds ,” sparking a wave of body-positivity shares.

As October 2025 rolls on, Cardi’s “super fierce” style—Vietnamese slang for her unbeatable vibe—continues to inspire. From courtrooms to clubs, she’s rewriting maternity rules, one glittering ensemble at a time. Whether baby No. 4 is real or rumor (she swears it’s the latter), one thing’s clear: Cardi B’s glow-up is eternal, bump or no bump.
