Charli XCX showed her love for leather with a head-to-toe statement at Moncler Genius’ fall 2023 presentation during London Fashion Week. The event was attended by a range of stars, including XCX, Serena Williams, Pharrell and Ashley Graham.
On Monday, XCX arrived to the presentation in London. For the occasion, the “Crash” musician wore a black patent leather minidress in a silhouette mimicking an oversized windbreaker, complete with a high neckline and large silver upper zipper.
Accenting her long-sleeved outfit were black Prada Sport shield sunglasses and Courrèges’ black leather $790 Racer shoulder bag, giving the darkly sleek ensemble a futuristic effect.

When it came to footwear, XCX finished her outfit with a set of slick Christian Louboutin pumps. Her black patent leather pair — the $895 Hot Chick style — featured a slingback version of the designer’s standard “Hot Chick” silhouette, with its scalloped pair’s rounded counters replaced by an angled heel cutout. Completing the glossy set were sharp triangular toes, as well as thin 4-inch stiletto heels. XCX’s monochrome outfit, merging sophisticated and sporty aesthetics, also gained a pop of color from Louboutin’s signature bright red lacquered soles.
