Cardi B is feeling blue… in a good way! The Am I the Drama? rapper gave us some winter hair color inspiration in an indigo bob inspired by the ever-iconic pair of jeans.
Cardi, who recently welcomed a baby boy with boyfriend Stefon Diggs, celebrated Diggs's birthday over the weekend with a variety of fabulous wigs and outfits, kicking things off with a short, chin-length bob in a platinum-and-deep blue color palette reminiscent of vintage denim. Her hair, styled by her go-to hairstylist Tokyo Stylez, was deeply parted to one side for a peekaboo effect and to show off the icy blonde roots, which transitioned from a steely baby blue to a dark denim at the ends.
From the front, the wig appeared to be a straightforward ombré style, but when viewed from other angles, the blue color was more prominent than your typical blonde-to-blue pattern—more concentrated near her face, with a softer diffusion throughout. Her hair was curled under to cup her jawline and frame her glam by Erika La' Pearl, which included a winged eye, long lashes, and peachy blush. And if you're wondering, yes, Cardi did pair the denim blue bob with a matching denim gown for a monochromatic moment.
If you're not quite ready to take the plunge and go blue, you could easily replicate the vibe with your makeup; pros told us that '80s-inspired shadow shades, including all blue hues, will be big in 2026.

Cardi isn't the only celeb to dabble in the world of blue hair this year. In the fall, Halsey had fun with a cheekbone-grazing turquoise bob with choppy baby bangs, though they swapped it for a deep, onyx black not long after. Cardi herself has gone blue many times in the past; we've seen her in shades of aqua, bright sky blue, and cobalt, not to mention a colorblock yellow-and-blue combo. Maybe the denim bob was a sweet shoutout to her new baby boy, or perhaps she was just into the idea of a jean-centric statement look with a wintry, icy twist. Denim really can do it all.
