Megan Thee Stallion took on New York City in bold style this week, with equally bold heels to boot.

The Grammy Award-winning musician arrived in Rockefeller Plaza while shopping at the record store Rough Trade on Saturday, wearing a Jean Paul Gaultier crop top and matching short shorts. Each piece featured a gauzy sheer texture, overlaid with mixed patterns in hues of red, blue and green. Completing the “Body” rapper’s ensemble was a matching scarf tied around her head, as well as a thick silver cuff bracelet, stacked beadchain necklaces and thin hoop earrings.

The “Plan B” rapper elevated her ensemble with a pair of Stuart Weitzman platform sandals. Her $550 Skyhigh style, part of the brand’s 2022 Pride capsule collection, featured metallic orange uppers with 5.75-inch block heels, thick platform soles and adjustable ankle straps. The pair added a glamorous finish to her outfit that was bold and sleek; however, it also contained a charitable twist through the brand’s partnership with the It Gets Better Project.
