Cardi B Kicks Off 2025 in Christian Louboutin Ballerina Pumps and a Colorful Skintight Minidress
Cardi B kicked off the new year in an elaborate pair of Christian Louboutin lace-up pumps.
The rapper opted for the shoe designer’s Cassia platform Ballerina Pumps in silk, which feature a bow and lace-up straps. Posting a set of pictures to her Instagram story, the pumps were characterized by a platform design in the upper, with the thick sole measuring an estimated 2.5 inches in height.
Crafted with crepe satin material, the upper also consists of a lace-up design in the front, and a satin strap that extends towards the ankle. The shoes are completed by a sharp stiletto heel ranging between 4-to-5 inches in height, and the brand’s signature red bottom outsole. The shoes retail for $1,295.
Completing her look was a colorful, form-fitting lace minidress, which she accessorized with the Kelly Lizard Mini handbag from Hermès. Rounding out her fashion choice for the evening was a pink hair choice that further accentuated her makeup and outfit. The “Bodak Yellow” rapper isn’t the only celebrity that’s chosen Christian Louboutin for their holiday festivities.
Earlier this week, singer Chloe Bailey shared a set of pictures on Instagram wearing an elegant pair of Louboutin strappy sandals. Channeling a “rich auntie” vibe, those shoes were crafted with patent leather material, and characterized by a white strappy design that included slim straps on the upper region and straps that criss-crossed around the ankle for security. The 3-to-4 inch heel was finished with Louboutin’s signature red bottom sole.
