Balenciaga has become one of the top brands among celebrities. His close relationship with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has meant that the firm directed by Demma Gvasalia is at one of the highest points in the history of the Spanish brand, founded more than 100 years ago. Now, Dua Lipa has become part of the Balenciaga muses by being part of its parade at Paris Fashion Week last July. However, off the catwalks, the interpreter of ‘Levitating’ has decided to join a trend imposed by Kim Kardashian by betting on a somewhat strange fashion, but which promises to be the most innovative piece of the year: the pants-boots o’ pantaleggins’ as can be found on the firm’s website.
And it is that, although Dua Lipa and Kim Kardashian belong to different sectors within the entertainment industry, the truth is that both have become style references for their innovative outfits that do not go unnoticed, being the Balenciaga trouser-boots the garment that has united them as representatives of this futuristic trend. The design of this garment completely covers the legs, from the feet to the waist, since it comes with the shoes included, although the garment itself is categorized in the ‘pants’ section.
Dua Lipa
Recently, the British singer was captured on the streets of New York wearing a model of boots-trousers in black which she has combined with an asymmetrical white blazer-dress from the firm Luar, a neon green mini bag with a snake print and eye-catching cycling glasses, a vintage aesthetic accessory designed by John Galliano for Christian Dior in 2003 and which were first seen in a successful campaign led by American model Angela Lindvall. In this way, Lipa managed to create a totally impressive look by adding the curious ‘pantaleggins’ by Balenciaga with which she has managed to create the optical effect of much longer and more stylized legs.
From Mugler to Balenciaga
Although this type of garment has not yet become the most common in street-style, this is not the first time that Dua Lipa has taken a risk by incorporating these pants into her outfits. Previously, the performer opted to wear several jumpsuits with this same Mugler signature built-in boot design on her ‘Future Nostalgia’ tour. Although it would be the first time that the interpreter chooses these peculiar pants in a daily look, so it could be confirmed that all the effort that Kim Kardashian has made to make this garment fashionable has been worth it. Above all, considering that this pants model was presented for the first time in the Balenciaga Cruise collection in 2018, but it did not have a good reception and simply became the object of criticism and ridicule on social networks. However, Kim Kardashian managed to turn them into a star piece by including them in her stunning total black look at the 2021 MET Gala show.
