Megan Thee Stallion brought sleek style — some might even deem it “bae”-worthy — to Balenciaga‘s Spring 2023 fashion show.
The Webby Award-winning singer arrived at the New York Stock Exchange in an all-black outfit, consisting of long high-waisted black leggings with a long oversized coat. Layered beneath was a sheer black top and matching bra, creating a sultry yet modern monochrome appearance. The “Hot Girl Summer” musician completed her look with a pari of angular sunglasses, huggie hoop earrings and a black Balenciaga shoulder bag.
Finishing the Coach ambassador’s look was a pair of black leather boots, featuring a knee-high silhouette with triangular pointed toes. Stiletto heels ranging from 3-4 inches in height finished the pair, elongating her outfit and adding an edgy twist to the ensemble.

The Grammy Award-winning singer even deemed her look “bae”-worthy — “bae,” that is, being herself. “Balenciaga bae,” she captioned a series of images on Instagram inside the NYSE, where she posed next to computers, perched on top of desks and even answered the phone.
