Cardi B Totally owned the Balenciaga Fall 2024 fashion show, stealing the show in a faux fur coat and diamond necklace.
The 31-year-old rapper walked in the Balenciaga catwalk presentation on Saturday, December 2, which took place outside on South Windsor Boulevard in Los Angeles. Cardi strolled down the sidewalk in a long fur coat, which she wore slightly off her shoulders. She completed her look with a diamond necklace and a sleek ponytail.
Underneath the breathtaking jacket, Cardi opted for a black bustier panta bodysuit, Rock Stud earrings and a Diamant Typo ring. For glamour, she went dark, with winged eyes and smoky lids, which complemented her purple lips.
The runway was an exciting, but exhausting moment for Cardi.
“If I tell you all, I feel like I’m dying. Can you all believe this? The voice I had all day [is gone]” she joked later on Saturday evening in an Instagram Story. ‘But I persevered! Some bitch got through, y’all.”
Cardi continued: “I have to stop talking because I need my voice. I have to record. I feel like st, but I’m a trooper.
Saturday’s runway appearance marked Cardi’s first time on the catwalk, although she has previously appeared in the brand’s fashion campaigns. She became the face of Balenciaga in 2020, a year before her husband, Offsetmade his catwalk debut with the brand.
“Went to the s/s 22 @balenciaga show! So proud of my husband @offsetyrn who walked the show!” Cardi wrote about Offset’s surprise performance at the Paris show via Instagram in October 2021. “Thank you [Demna, the creative director] and the Balenciaga team for your hospitality! I had such a wonderful experience.”
Cardi and Offset, 31, married in 2018 and share two children: Kulture, 5, and Wave, 2. (Offset also has three older children from previous relationships.)
Just like their fashion-conscious parents, Cardi and Offsett’s mixed offspring have their own tastes.
“She has a lot of dresses. She already has an attitude about herself where she already knows how to walk like a model and she takes it seriously,” Offset shared about Kulture in an October TikTok video for UGG. “She always wants to show me, ‘Daddy, look what I put together, look at this scarf I’m wearing…’ I feel like she can dress herself.”
The couple even gifted Kulture a miniature Birkin bag for her last birthday. However, their sons have a different relationship with fashion.
“I remember one time I wanted to buy a Wave hat and Offset said, ‘No,’” Cardi added in the social media clip. “Whatever. I try! … All the kids got different styles – literally.”
