Cardi B stepped out in style with Offset to kick off “Ugg season,” which is marked between October and April. On Thursday, the couple arrived at the southern California brand’s “Feel House” party with Hypebeast in New York City, which also celebrated its new Uggextreme winter collection.
For the occasion, Cardi B slipped on Ugg’s Classic Chillapeak boots — a $250 style with short shafts, rounded toes and smooth brown suede uppers. The “Money” musician’s footwear gained a cozy twist, however, from its puffy quilting, branded “Ugg” patches and soft cream sheepskin trim. Her fluffy pair also earned a height boost from its thick platform soles, which were made with sugarcane for an eco-friendly height boost.
Cardi B’s boots comfortably finished to her outfit for the occasion, which included a white collared shirt, brown sweater vest and gingham-printed miniskirt. Her ensemble was smoothly complete with a chain-trimmed Chanel water bottle holder — which held a gold Chanel water bottle — and sparkling statement earrings. Offset also coordinated with his wife, outfitted in a graphic hoodie, tan pants and Ugg’s $220 Classic Short Hybrid boots with orange rubber soles.

The event notably celebrated Ugg’s Uggextreme collection, which was prominently on display. The range includes two updated takes on the brand’s classic Meridian and Meridian Hiker boots, revamped with waterproof leather uppers, Gore-Tex lining and thick, textured Vibram rubber outsoles for outdoor wear in up to -32°C temperatures.
The $350 Adirondack Meridian Hiker and knee-high, $400 Adirondack Meridian styles are each complete with soft Uggplush lining and PU foam footbeds for added comfort, while their reflective laces and gusseted tongues provide added security against the cold.
Additionally, the boots — which come in a versatile palette of brown, black, white and red — are joined by the brand’s $1,498 Shasta puffer. This water-resistant nylon coat is packed with down-filled paneling, soft fleece lining and lined pockets to comfortably withstand up to -23.3°C temperatures, similar to Ugg’s matching winter footwear.
Aside from Cardi B and Offset, guests including Ryan Bailey Potter, Aleali May, Francisco Martin and Alessandra Lucia Pronti enjoyed the ‘Feel House’ party’s snowy entryway, UGGextreme displays and ski ball. Attendees also customized Ugg’s winter boots with personalized charms, adding a whimsical finish to the winter-worthy evening.
