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.

Rounding out her fashion choice for the evening was a pink hair choice that further accentuated her makeup and outfit.

 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.
