Cardi B surprises with her bold style as she flaunts ‘Pantaboots’ from Y/Project, a avant-garde choice straight from the Autumn/Winter 2023 runway.
We’ve witnessed Cardi B donning a wide array of shoes over the years, from the delicate Christian Louboutin heels famously mentioned in her 2018 hit “Bodak Yellow” to the unconventional split-toe Tabi boots by Maison Margiela. Earlier this year, she turned heads with vibrant, sky-high wedges from Dolce & Gabbana paired with a matching bodysuit. And now, Cardi ventures into yet another bold footwear style that the chicest celebrities can’t get enough of.

During a casual shopping outing along Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, the rap superstar sported an ensemble that, upon closer examination, was far from understated. Her look featured an oversized top adorned with checkered patterns in dual tones and exposed shoulder details. She completed her outfit with an ultra-luxurious champagne-toned crocodile Birkin bag from Hermès, valued at over £50,000. However, the unquestionable focal point of her ensemble was her choice of footwear: a striking pair of denim Pantaboots from Y/Project, reaching up to her waist and lending her a disheveled yet avant-garde silhouette, straight off the Autumn/Winter 2023 runway.
While Pantaboots have become a familiar sight in the wardrobes of Hollywood stars like Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and Kim Kardashian, the style doesn’t seem to be going anywhere in the near future, thanks to designers like Demna at Balenciaga and Glenn Martens at Diesel. Moreover, the festive season couldn’t be a more fitting time to embrace this look, just like Cardi.
