The week got off to a flying start at Schiaparelli on Monday with Cardi B in a whimsical shrug that resembled giant wings for the high fashion’s kick-off show.

Cardi B made her dramatic entrance in a velvet gown that she declared “beautiful, amazing.”

“I’m about to take a seat next to Tracee Ellis Ross,” she exclaimed. “I’ll see you after the show, my little truffles.” But because the show ended she was overwhelmed by guests attempting to snap photos along with her and made a fast exit.

The large wings were less shocking than last season’s hyper-realistic animal-themed pieces at Schiaparelli. The cape was constructed of layered wool tufts to amplify the quantity — and was faux doubtless.

Ellis Ross, who has worn Schiaparelli on several red carpets — including a whimsical bird hat on one occasion — was more relaxed in a purple pajama-style silk suit. She said she attended Daniel Roseberry’s first couture collection back in 2019 and has been capable of see him grow as a designer.

“I’ve worn beautiful things. He’s such an artist. I like the way in which he transforms his inspiration with every collection. And particularly with couture, then you definately get to see him and his full glory,” she said of Roseberry.

The actress just accomplished the film “Cold Copy” with Jeffrey Wright, which is making the film festival rounds now.

“It was such a distinct character than I’ve ever played. I don’t even smile. She’s an actual terrible person nevertheless it was really fun to play. And I even have straight hair with bangs,” she said of the film’s style. Next up is a Christmas movie, “Candy Cane Lane,” with Eddie Murphy.

Ellis Ross doesn’t shrink back from taking risks on the red carpet. “I just love clothes, and I like the art of garments. They’re a type of creative expression for me,” she said, admitting she devotes loads of floor space in her home to housing her wardrobe.

“I took a room and a half, well, two rooms. I don’t have kids, in order that’s the bedrooms,” she joked of what takes up space in her life.

“Game of Thrones” star Gwendoline Christie was seated next to model Marisa Berenson, and the 2 made fast friends within the front row. They snapped selfies and asked bystanders to take photos and videos of them together.

Christie, who has long been a fan of Roseberry’s, praised the show.

“I like seeing the evolution of Daniel’s craft. And I feel that craft is something that isn’t necessarily focused on in our world. But what I see is the evolution of a well-trained designer branching out his imagination, but additionally continuing to form an especially completely satisfied relationship along with his atelier, and it’s a delight to receive that work,” she said.

As for the worlds of drama and design colliding, she added: “They’re similar by way of craft, but they’re very, very different.”

Roseberry presented loads of looks that can make their red carpet mark. Many had dramatic volume with blanket-size proportions, mirrored suits and a skirt constructed from gold stones. Irina Shayk walked in a wrap of flowers that dramatically descended down her arm, and last looks were on white silk with painted feathers.
