It’s one rule for the President — and another for Cardi B.
The rapper and singer, who performed at the New York Knicks versus San Antonio Spurs Game 3 of the NBA Finals Monday, showed off a $7,000 Chanel purse as she Instagrammed from celebrity row.
This was despite the strict no-bag rule in place due to security measures around President Trump’s planned appearance at the game.
And she wasn’t the only spectator with fashion in full bloom at The Garden.
Court-side couture is causing almost as much commotion as the New York Knicks. And the stop-and-stare wear at Game 3 was no exception — from super fan Spike Lee donning a Knicks jersey signed by Pope Leo, to Jay-Z decked out in an $1,110 all-black designer jacket by Bode.
Super fan Timothée Chalamet sat court-side in head to toe Knicks orange, and Cardi B sported a curve-clinging gray corset and skin-tight leggings for her half-time performance, after posting photos of her purse to Instagram Stories.
Jordyn Woods, 28, the fiancé of NYK center Karl Anthony Towns known for sporting her “good luck charm” custom purse to matchups, was forced to leave her bougie bag at home,
But she still turned up the haute in a custom-made top, stitched together from vintage Knicks T-shirts and jerseys, paired with jeans.
The voguish visionary transformed her lucky, albeit banned pocketbook into a pair of shoes — heels she named the “Stunt sandals in limited edition ‘Summer Citrus.’”
Chalamet, 30, threw a fashionable fit in a head-to-toe orange number by luxe label Chrome Hearts, finishing the look with a pair of Timberland boots.
The who’s who on the scene included DJ Khaled, rapper Fat Joe, dripped in diamonds, “Law and Order: SVU” legends Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni sat shoulder-to-shoulder in causal Knicks gear, as did comedians Tracy Morgan and Chris Rock.
Major League Baseball paragon Derek Jeter, John McEnroe of tennis fame, acting couple Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor, and more were at the nail-biting big show.
Danielle Becker, the Gotham-based artist behind the viral, hand-painted leather jacket worn by Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson’s wife, Ali Brunson, told The Post that celebrity row at Madison Square Garden has become NYC hottest runway.
“The celebrity fashion is partly the reason so many people, including who aren’t necessarily into sports, are watching the Knicks right now,” said Becker, founder of Lefty’s Right Mind, a creative marketing studio. “Everyone wants to be a part of this incredible episode in Knicks history.”
“New York City is electric right now,” she continued. “Nobody who loves fashion is going to hold back at Game 4.”
