Cardi B the catwalk queen! Rapper make runway debut in blue fur coat at Balenciaga show with Kim Kardashian and Nicole Kidman sitting front row… a year after luxury brand faced massive backlash over controversial child ad campaign
Cardi B made a show-stopping runway debut at the Balenciaga Fall 2024 fashion show on Saturday.
The rapper, 31, modeled a bright blue fur coat as she strutted down South Windsor Boulevard in Los Angeles with the Hollywood sign in the background and Kim Kardashian sitting in the front row.
This comes after the luxury fashion house faced a massive controversy over a year ago when consumers claimed their ad campaign that showed children posing with bears wearing BDSM gear promoted ‘child exploitation.’
Following the backlash the brand received, the Up hitmaker — who looked stunning in a colorful leather ensemble after leaving a fitting in West Hollywood just days earlier — took to the runway wearing the vibrant coat teamed with Balenciaga’s famous pantaleggings with attached pointed-toe heels.
She opted to wear the coat in an off-shoulder style and held the front closed as she walked down the street.
