Lately, celebrities have been wearing shoes that are, well, let’s say unconventional. This summer, Alaïa’s mesh ballet flats were a hit on stars like Jennifer Lawrence. For fall, Marc Jacobs’s Kiki boots—complete with a staggering 7-inch platform—have been embraced by Olivia Rodrigo and Beyoncé, among others. Standard sneakers or heels these are not: everybody wants a weird-but-chic silhouette. Another star who’s on board with this offbeat vibe? Rapper Cardi B, who just emerged in one of the hottest—and most polarizing—shoes of the moment: The Margiela Tabi, which features a split-toe (and hoof-like) construction.
Her pair—in a cream leather—was one of Margiela’s heeled Tabi pump styles. While it’s no everyday staple, the Tabi is one of the hottest shoes in fashion right now. It just topped the Lyst Index’s list of the hottest 2023 products for Q3, and has been worn by everyone from Dua Lipa to Chloe Sevigny, too. Cardi, who was spotted out in Long Island, made the shoe feel very her, by pairing it with a worn-in leather bomber jacket, spray-painted jeans, and her signature Hermès Birkin bag. (Her collection of the luxe handbags is unmatched.)
Of course, Cardi is no stranger to a bold shoe, either. Remember when she sported these death-defying skyscraper shoes earlier this year? Or when she rocked these sky-high Dolce Gabbana platforms by the pool? With the Tabis, however, the star is clearly ready to embrace a more ugly-chic shoe. Though, leave it to her to make them look utterly fabulous.
