Cardi B has had quite the breakout year. After releasing “Bodak Yellow” she become the first solo female MC to land at the top of the Billboards chart since 1998 when Lauryn Hill did so with “Doo Wop (That Thing.)” The song went platinum three times and its video has received over 300 million views since it was released in June.

Cardi also won five BET awards this year as well as two Grammy nominations. Those BET wins included both best new hip-hop artist and Hustler of the Year. The star recently spoke out her massive success and explained where her super strong work ethic came from.

“This is my work ethic: I do not want to raise my future kids where I was raised, and I know the only way to do it is working, working, working, working, working. I don’t want to live in a small Bronx apartment. I don’t want to have three kids that got to share one room. I don’t want my kids to go to school and get gang-affiliated. I don’t want to do welfare. I don’t.”

Just this week the star dropped her first single hit “Bodak Yellow” was released. Cardi first teased “Bartier Cardi” on The Tonight Show and the song has been gaining traction since its release, putting to rest any fears that the star might be a one-hit wonder.

In addition to a busy work year, Cardi also had some great news in her personal life. The star got engaged to Migos’ Offset and received a $550,000 custom diamond ring. Migos were also Grammy nominated this year for “Bad and Boujee.” Cardi said that she and Offset might move to Atlanta because they want a “big crazy” house.

Kylie Jenner Launches Khy “After Dark,” a 16-Piece Winter Collection Inspired by L.A. Nights

Kylie Jenner’s fashion label Khy has its winter moment. The brand launched “Khy After Dark,” a 16-piece eveningwear collection, worldwide on Tuesday (October 27), sold exclusively through the brand’s own web store at khy.com.

The capsule is built for the hours after sunset. Khy describes the drop as inspired by Los Angeles after hours — “a love letter to L.A. nights” — and Jenner echoed the theme in her launch post: “LA nights have always been such a big part of my inspiration and i loved bringing that feeling into this collection.” The lineup leans into moody, after-dark glamour: sculpted tailoring, plush faux fur, layered knitwear, oversized bombers and animal-print accents across coats, dresses, cardigans and tops. The standout piece is the floor-sweeping Marmont Sculpted Coat. The campaign, photographed by Quentin de Briey in the Los Angeles hills, puts Jenner herself in the collection’s statement outerwear against the city lights.

After Dark also underlines how Khy does business. Rather than running on traditional celebrity endorsements, the label operates through designer collaborations, partnering with creative founders and peer brands — including footwear label Gia Borghini and Francesca Aiello’s Frankies Bikinis — to merge their aesthetics with Jenner’s vision. The winter drop keeps up a rapid release cadence: earlier this year Khy expanded into warm-weather staples with the silk-and-jersey “Dear Summer, Love Khy” line, then returned to swim with Frankies Bikinis on their second collaborative capsule, “Fever Dream.”

The timing is deliberate. The launch caps a headline week for Jenner, who made her runway debut at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 18 wearing the $50 million Jacob & Co. diamond Fantasy Bra — and now channels that fashion spotlight straight into her own label. Khy After Dark is available now at khy.com.
