Lil Nas X Shines in Crystal Skirt & Boots for Versace Fashion Show – Footwear News

Lil Nas X shone at the Versace Fall 2023 Fashion Show at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, California on Thursday.

He brought the sparkle into a mesh top embellished with crystals, which he paired with a black skirt with coordinating jewels around the waist. They morphed into a darker shade at the hem of the skirt, creating an ombre illusion. To represent the brand, he donned a pair of Versace underwear that was slightly pointed under the skirt. Let’s not forget the accessories, including a shiny Versace Medusa clutch and retro reflective sunglasses. The rapper’s hair was styled in big double stranded twists that effortlessly shaped his face.

When it came to footwear, the “Old Town Road” singer stepped down with embellished cleated boots that added elegance and flair. The movement of the crystals along the top of the boots delivered exactly what it was supposed to do to complete this look. Boots with cleated soles are essential footwear, whether on the catwalk or on the street. Deviating from your typical winter boot, this style asserts what it means to wear a tall boot. Just ask brands like Bottega Veneta, By Far, Dr. Martens and Gia Borghini.

The rapper often wears costume-like attire to red carpets and full sequined bodysuits to high fashion events. Since his musical debut in the country genre, Lil Nas X has had a plethora of colorful cowboy boots and hats that are custom made. His whimsical style almost feels like he’s been dressing up as a funny character over the years.

Donatella Versace relocated to Los Angeles from Milan to present Versace’s Fall 2023 collection at the Pacific Design Center on Thursday. The star-studded event was attended by Miley Cyrus, Cher, Dua Lipa, Paris Hilton, Lil Nas X, Anne Hathaway, Demi Moore and Pamela Anderson, among others. Naomi Campbell, Gigi Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski walked the runway for the Italian brand.
