Cardi B’s Runway Walk in Stiletto Boots Goes Viral at Balenciaga’s Los Angeles Fashion Show

Cardi B‘s latest viral appearance featured a runway-ready flair — literally, thanks to Balenciaga‘s pre-fall 2024 show.

On Saturday, Cardi B was seen on the runway during the occasion in Los Angeles. While strutting down South Windsor Boulevard, the Grammy Award-winning rapper wore a sleek pair of the French brand’s signature stocking boots — a pointed-toe boot with thin stiletto heels, topped by stretchy, waist-high black uppers reminiscent of leggings.

For a burst of vibrant drama, the sleek heels were layered beneath a deep blue faux-fur coat, which Cardi B clutched around her chest.

The musician’s attire was glamorously finished with a sparkling diamond “BB” logo necklace — part of the label’s collaboration with fine jewelry brand Jacob & Co. — in addition to gleaming diamond stud earrings and a large lettering ring.

A slick red lipstick with black liner smoothly completed Cardi B’s runway look. Similarly two-toned lip looks have been trending this season for their ’90s and rock n’ roll roots, with deeply colored lipsticks and liners seen in new collections from brands including Urban Decay, Pat McGrath Labs and Lancôme, among others.

During the occasion, Cardi B mingled with starry attendees at the show following her bold runway appearance — including fellow musician Teyana Taylor.
