New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs had a big game on Sunday, December 28 against the New York Jets, but his girlfriend, Cardi B, made an even louder statement as she watched the game from team owner Robert Kraft’s suite.
Cardi, 33, posed for a photo with Kraft, 84, during the 42-10 blowout win, sporting an outfit that ensured she would go viral.
The rapper embraced her inner Barbie, donning a pink Chanel jacket and white button-down shirt, with a gray miniskirt and pink tights. Her gigantic pearl necklace, which she wore like a sash, ran down the length of her shirt, just above an oversized pearl belt.
“Cardi B joined Robert Kraft this afternoon to support the Blue Square Alliance and to watch the Patriots defeat the Jets to remain undefeated on the road,” the Patriots wrote via Instagram alongside the viral pic.

Though her outfit garnered predictably mixed reactions, many fans took to the comments section to applaud her look, spamming the post with fire emojis. One went as far as to write, “Cardi B and Diggs > Taylor and Travis.”
“Our First Lady mhmmmmm! Diggs always balls out when Cardi in the building 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽,” another wrote.
Cardi added videos to her Instagram Story as well, showing off her outfit as she walked into the stadium and sat in her suite, cheering on the Patriots.
As the score indicates, Diggs, 32, had a great game — and so did most of his teammates. Diggs finished with a game-high 101 receiving yards with a touchdown and had six receptions on six targets.

The Patriots’ win combined with the Buffalo Bills’ loss later in the day wrapped up the AFC East crown, and Diggs ended the game with an extra half-million dollars in his pocket. His second-quarter touchdown reception was his 80th catch of the season, triggering a $500,000 bonus in his contract.
Diggs is in the first year of a three-year, $63.5 million contract with New England. He could receive another $500,000 in the Patriots’ final regular season game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, January 4, if he accumulates 30 or more receiving yards, which would put him at 1,000 for the season.
He can earn additional half-million-dollar bonuses with a monster performance against Miami. Eight receptions would give him 90 on the season and 130 yards would give him 1,100 total.
As strong as Diggs has looked on the field the last few weeks, it’s been an even bigger season for him off the field. He and Cardi welcomed their first child together, a son, on November 4. (Diggs has two daughters from past relationships and Cardi has three children with ex Offset.)
“My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons. My last chapter was the beginning of a new season,” Cardi wrote via Instagram at the time. “Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it! I brought new music and a new album to the world, a new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve.”
