This spring, Cardi B gave the world one of the catchiest songs of all time. With a sample of Pete Rodriguez’s 1967 hit “I Like It Like That” strumming in the background, the rapper pronounced that she liked “dollars” and “diamonds,” “stunting” and “shining.” She also exclaimed: “I like those Balenciagas, the ones that look like socks.” Since “I Like It” came out, Cardi has certainly slipped on a pair of the French house’s sock boots once or twice, but she’s also become a style star in her own right with a Fashion Nova line and designer labels falling at her feet during fashion month. Last night, however, Kulture’s mom proved that she is still loyal to Balenciaga.

Cardi posted an Instagram photo of herself dressed in a sculptural plaid coat and matching boots from designer Demna Gvasalia’s Fall 2018 collection. She carried a turquoise Hermès Birkin bag and captioned the image, “Balenciaga Mama.” The musician is certainly a fashion risk-taker, and the futuristic tailoring of the coat, as well as the boots that blended in with it, gave Cardi more cred in that department. So will she namecheck more major fashion names when her next song drops? There’s no telling, but one thing’s for sure: She likes what she likes.
