Nicole Kidman, Kendall Jenner, Eva Longoria… In pictures: celebrities in black at the Balenciaga California show

It was almost Saturday for celebrities in the City of Angels. On December 1st, in the almost winter sun, on the edge of a palm-lined avenue and with the famous Hollywood sign in the background, they met to participate in the Balenciaga Fall 2024 fashion show, which was inspired by the everyday life of the locals. Los Angeles. There was a sportswoman in leggings who was probably on her way to a yoga class, a young man in pajamas who looked like he had just returned from a busy night out, or even a business woman in a business suit, coffee in hand of course. With this fashion show, the designer Demna reinvented the Californian city from all its angles and all its clichés, but also the daily life of the city, in front of the accomplices in the front row, played in parody before him.

Kim Kardashian, for example, arrived with a Balenciaga x Erewhon collaboration paper bag as her only accessory, known as the supermarket of the rich, where a carton of milk costs twenty dollars (about eighteen euros). A store that is not unfamiliar to other guests of the fashion show, such as Brooklyn Beckham, his wife Nicole Peltz-Beckham or even Kendall Jenner, who have been seen there several times this year. Other personalities were present beside them.

Externally, black monochrome prevailed. Eva Longoria, Ashley Graham, Elsa Hosk, Dylan Minnette, Stella Maxwell and almost all the guests chose the charcoal color. Some celebrities came alone, others with their families. like Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, of course, but also Lisa Rinna, who came with her two daughters, Amelia and Delilah. Nicole Kidman was accompanied by Balenciaga CEO Cedric Sharbit for a very special reason.
