Okoye escorts Cardi B at Paris Fashion Week, fans react

American rapper Cardi B and Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye drew attention with their appearance at Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday.

The pair attended the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture Show, where they were seen together before taking their seats for the runway presentation.

Videos from the event showed Okoye escorting Cardi B to her seat as photographers captured the moment. They were also spotted later at the Messika showcase during the fashion week activities.

Their appearance quickly became a trending topic on social media, with many fans praising their fashion choices and confident presence.

Cardi B’s striking red outfit was widely regarded as one of the standout looks of the event.

Okoye, who currently plays for Italian club Udinese, has increasingly become involved in fashion and lifestyle events away from football.

The 26 year old goalkeeper was born in Germany to a Nigerian father and made his debut for the Super Eagles in 2019.
He began his professional career in Germany before moving to Dutch club Sparta Rotterdam, where he was named Player of the Season for the 2020/21 campaign.

Okoye later joined English club Watford in 2022 before completing a move to Udinese in 2023. Since then, he has established himself as one of Nigeria’s leading goalkeepers both at club and international level.
