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.
The Grammy winner also wore an eye-catching, diamond-encrusted chain necklace and delicate stud earrings for her jewelry of choice.
She parted her extremely long, raven black tresses down the middle and slicked it back into a sleek and polished ponytail.
For makeup, she rocked wispy lashes as well as jet black lip liner and a deep red gloss.
Kardashian, 43, took to her Instagram to share photos and videos of the models as she sat in the front row observing the show.
She recorded a clip of Cardi B walking during the show and modeling her fab garb.
She also posted a photo of actress and model Brigitte Nielson, 60, making her way down the sidewalk catwalk in a chic, all-black ensemble.
The blonde bombshell donned a pair of over-the-knee, latex boots with a very tall platform and pointed heels as the statement piece of her outfit.
She also rocked an extremely long and pointed manicure with glossy black nail polish to match her look.
The Kardashians reality star was spotted arriving at the fashion show herself in a similar all-black look featuring floral tights as pants and a pair of wraparound, reflective sunglasses.
Ahead of the show, she stepped out of her car and was joined by her younger sister and supermodel Kendall Jenner — who slipped into a skintight, black dress for the event.
Nicole Kidman, 56, also sat front row at the fashion show wearing a chic, all-black outfit.
Kidman also shared a series of stunning black-and-white snaps of herself modeling the Balenciaga outfit she wore to the fashion show.
The Big Little Lies actress donned a tweed peacoat tea dress with a structured neckline that revealed her shoulders and highlighted décolletage.
Underneath the chic dress, she wore sheer tights and suede pumps.
For accessories, she wore opera gloves as well as a pair of circular, retro sunglasses.
She left her blonde tresses down in a sleek and straight hairstyle and tucked the ends into the collar of her coat dress.
Ahead of the show, Kidman also posed for a photo with actress Samara Weaving — who donned a cropped, black turtleneck top as well as oversize denim jeans and a floor-sweeping trench coat.
The fashion show was also graced by the presence of Salma Hayek and her husband, François-Henri Pinault.
The Magic Mike's Last Dance star showed off her incredible hourglass figure in a figure-hugging, ruched midi dress with an asymmetrical neckline and quarter sleeves.
For a pop of color against her otherwise all-black look, she rocked Barbie pink pumps and a matching leather purse.
Her billionaire businessman beau looked dapper in an all-black suit worn over a classic T-shirt and paired with patent leather dress shoes.
The Balenciaga fashion show was also a family affair as Lisa Rinna made an appearance with her daughters Amelia Gray Hamlin and Delilah Belle Hamlin.
The reality TV star and her daughters posed for fun photos ahead of the event.
For the show, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alumna donned a floor-sweeping, deep blue raincoat-style trench coat over a turtleneck top and black pantaleggings.
Her eldest daughter wore an oversize gray blazer teamed with the matching, distressed dress pants.
She sported massive, rectangular-shaped sunglasses and toted around a leather shoulder bag.
Amelia Gray Hamlin wore an oversize but cropped peacoat as a dress to go with a pair of shiny pantaleggings.
She was spotted carrying a metallic silver purse and rocking funky sunglasses in a wavy frame.
In the snaps, she leaned against a plain white wall and posed with her arms spread open in a melodramatic manner.
Following the show, many other A-list attendees also took to Instagram in sharing their Balenciaga x Erewhon goodie bags and sipping their bottled beverages.
According a photo shared by Zooey Deschanel, the celebrity guests were treated to a cold-pressed apple juice ahead of the fashion show.
The bottled beverage was made to look black to match Balenciaga's branding using activated charcoal powder amongst other organic ingredients.
Amelia Gray Hamlin took a selfie of herself rocking a mullet hairstyle and enjoying the drink in the car.
She appeared to be wearing an oversize blazer and Balenciaga chain-linked earrings as she also played around with a bow filter on the social media app.
Her mother, Lisa Rinna, also took a snap of the bottle of juice sitting in the cupholder of her car as she headed to the fashion show.
Anastasia Karanikolaou also shared a photo of herself drinking the juice while sitting in the car and on a video call with Luka Sabbat.
Ashley Graham also took a snap of her own bottle of the drink next to her Balenciaga handbag in her lap as she also sat in the car heading to the fashion show.
Over a year ago in the summer months 2022, Balenciaga incited a firestorm after they released two controversial campaigns.
Consumers alleged that the depictions of children alongside bondage-style attire promoted child exploitation.
Following the backlash, Balenciaga removed imagery from the campaigns off of social media as well as sued the designer and production company, seeking 'redress for extensive damages' of $25 million.
