Cardi B graced the runway at the Balenciaga Fall 2024 fashion show making her first time ever to hit the catwalk. The event, held on South Windsor Boulevard in Los Angeles, was nothing short of spectacular, with the iconic Hollywood sign as the backdrop and A-list celebrities in attendance, including Kim Kardashian and runway model Kendal Jenner. But it was Cardi’s runway debut that stole the show.
Cardi B, known for her bold fashion choices and unapologetic personality, strutted down the runway in a vibrant blue fur coat — a statement piece in itself paired with Balenciaga’s famous pantaleggings, featuring attached pointed-toe heels. The result was a stunning ensemble that only someone like Cardi B could effortlessly pull off.

The brand came under fire when its ad campaign featured children posing with bears wearing BDSM gear, leading to accusations of promoting “child exploitation.” With Cardi B as the face of their latest runway show, Balenciaga seemed determined to steer the conversation in a new direction.
Cardi B, as expected, showcased her unique style and personality as she wore the coat in an off-shoulder style, holding the front closed with confidence. Her fashion choices were complemented by exquisite accessories, including an eye-catching diamond-encrusted chain necklace and delicate stud earrings. Her long, raven-black tresses were parted down the middle and slicked back into a sleek and polished ponytail, completing the overall look of sophistication and glamour.

Her makeup, too, reflected her edgy and glamorous persona. She rocked wispy lashes, accentuated by jet-black lip liner and a deep red gloss. The combination of her flawless makeup and sleek ponytail highlighted her natural beauty and allowed the vibrant blue fur coat to take center stage.
Kim Kardashian, another fashion icon who was in the show wore skintight nude lace leggings that featured built-in heels. She topped the look with a black zip-up jacket and carried the Balenciaga X Erewhon tote bag.
