Just In: Kim Kardashian and Sexyy Red Spark Buzz at Balenciaga Fashion Show Amid North West Fan Moment

It’s been over a year since the streets of Los Angeles became the backdrop for one of 2023’s most talked-about celebrity crossovers, and the moment still resonates in pop culture circles. On December 19, 2023, rapper Sexyy Red (@SexyyRed314_) shared a now-iconic photo on X, capturing her alongside reality TV mogul Kim Kardashian at Balenciaga’s highly anticipated Fall 2024 fashion show. The image—set against a sunlit, palm-lined street—shows the two stars striking a pose, with Sexyy Red pointing confidently at the camera and Kim pouting beside her. The post, which tagged Kim and included a link to the image, quickly became a viral sensation, racking up thousands of likes and sparking a wave of reactions online.

The Balenciaga event, held on December 3, 2023, was a star-studded affair that drew A-listers like Cardi B, Nicole Kidman, and Salma Hayek to the City of Angels. According to Variety, Kim arrived carrying an Erewhon shopping bag—a chic collaboration between the luxury fashion house and the upscale grocery chain—while Salma Hayek dubbed her black dress and hot pink accessories her “Balenciaga Barbie” look. The show itself featured the Fall 2024 collection, with highlights like Juicy Couture-inspired sweats and oversized sneakers that had attendees like Brooklyn Beckham buzzing. But it was the unexpected pairing of Sexyy Red and Kim Kardashian that stole the spotlight, blending two worlds—hip-hop and high fashion—in a way that felt quintessentially LA.

At the time, Sexyy Red was riding a wave of success following the release of her breakout tracks “Pound Town” and “SkeeYee,” which had taken the hip-hop scene by storm earlier that year. Her album Hood Hottest Princess had already amassed 447.6 million on-demand U.S. streams by January 2024, according to Billboard, cementing her as a force in the industry. Known for her raw, unapologetic style, Sexyy Red was also making headlines for a more personal reason: her pregnancy. She had announced it in October 2023, revealing her baby bump onstage in Atlanta and later posing with SZA on Instagram, as reported by Newsweek. In the Balenciaga photo, her pregnancy is subtly visible, adding a layer of significance to her presence at such a high-profile event.

Kim Kardashian, meanwhile, was no stranger to the fashion world, often serving as a muse for Balenciaga’s creative director, Demna. Her appearance at the show was a family affair—her daughter North West, then 10 years old, became part of the story in a surprising way. Just days before the event, Kim had facilitated a FaceTime call between North and Sexyy Red, a moment that sparked both adoration and debate online. As
