The model donned a black spandex mini dress to the after-party. The dress featured a long pleated piece that fell down the front, giving it the illusion of a midi dress from the front. Ratajkowski added long black spandex gloves to the look, a Balenciaga staple.

Ratajkowski finished off her look with one of the most unique shoe trends — Balenciaga’s pantaleggings. The hybrid garment is comprised of skintight leggings with built-in pointy stiletto boots.This fashion/footwear fusion didn’t start with Balenciaga. Nearly a decade ago, shoe designer Tamara Mellon dreamt up a style she called “legging boots,” which she’d pitched during her tenure at Jimmy Choo without success.

EmRata attended the Balenciaga Fall 2022 couture show before the dinner, also held in Paris. The show featured a futuristic take on couture by Demna, including sculpted silhouettes in leather and neoprene, as well as dramatic ball gowns. Ratajkowski wore oversized low-rise black trousers with a black tube top and black pointy-toe shoes as she attended the show as a guest. Other notable front-row attendees included Kris Jenner, North West, Tracee Ellis Ross and Keith Urban.
