While donning a vibrant blue faux fur coat, the rapper was hard to miss at the designer label's pre-fall 2024 show.

"Yesterday was a dream! I had too much fun storming your runway!, the "Drip" rapper captioned a carousel of photos from her fashion-filled day with Balenciaga.

She went on to thank the fashion house's creative director Demna Gvasalia as well as VIP and couture relations director Johan Fleury. She concluded the post saying, "DARE TO BE DIFFERENT."

Cardi B also posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, "On my way to chic fil A!' alongside an image of herself walking in the show.

The latest Balenciaga show is the brand's first since it faced backlash for its controversial ad scandal featuring children with sexualized teddy bears.

Gvasalia has since apologized for the inappropriate ad calling it "the wrong artistic choice of concept. It was inappropriate to have kids promote objects that had nothing to do with them," he said.

"As much as I would sometimes like to provoke a thought through my work, I would NEVER have an intention to do that with such an awful subject as child abuse that I condemn," he added.
