Balenciaga Brings Out the Stars for L.A. Fashion Extravaganza
Under the sunny skies of Los Angeles, Balenciaga staged a dazzling display of their Fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection on Saturday, December 2nd. Creative Director Demna Gvasalia transformed a residential Hancock Park street into a glamorous runway, treating an crowd of A-listers and fashion icons to an unforgettable sartorial spectacle.
Leading the celebrity pack was Kim Kardashian, who arrived with Erewhon shopping bag in hand – a clever cross-promotion with the luxury grocery store chain. “This is my purse for the day,” she remarked cheekily. “There are flowers in it. I’m going to give them to Demna later.” The exclusive bags are rumored to retail for $1,000 each.
Surprise catwalk cameos included Cardi B, stunning the audience in an oversized cobalt coat, and 80’s film legend Brigitte Nielsen, both adding to the presentation’s Hollywood allure.
While celebrity models held court on the runway, the front row overflowed with famous faces like Nicole Kidman, who joked “We have to get umbrellas!” while shielding herself Los Angeles sunshine. Salma Hayek fully embodied the Barbiecore trend in a black sheath dress with hot pink accents. Newly minted Angel Kendall Jenner made a joint appearance with sister Kim Kardashian in head-to-toe Balenciaga looks. She later raved, “I loved the black fur off-the-shoulder moment.”
The sizzling display of Balenciaga’s latest clothing and accessories left the glitzy crowd abuzz. Joey King, resplendent in a slouchy gown with gloves, gushed, “I always get so excited when I get to wear Balenciaga – every time, I feel sexy but not basic.”
With an uber-exclusive guest list and über-luxe, Tinseltown-inspired styles on full display, Demna and Balenciaga undoubtedly solidified their status as Hollywood’s hottest designer du jour with Saturday’s tour de force presentation.
