Barbara Palvin turned a simple Balenciaga sweater‑and‑skirt outfit into a head‑turner with one sharp detail: a massive midriff cutout. Stepping out in a chic look styled by Marc Eram, the model was a masterclass in how a pared‑back palette can still make a huge statement when the shapes do the talking. The result? Cool, modern, and very street-friendly.
Barbara Palvin adds a touch of bold to Balenciaga set with fun cutout
Barbara Palvin’s recent Balenciaga outfit with a huge cutout was one for the books. Her top did the heavy lifting. Instead of a standard cardigan, Palvin wore a slate gray knit with a built‑in collar and a straight row of buttons, fastening it at the bust and hem, leaving the center open to form a clean, inverted V cut that showed her belly button. The cutout broke up the dark colors and gave the outfit an edge without being over the top.
The Hungarian model paired the sweater with a black, high‑volume skirt that hit mid‑calf, with its gathered design bringing drama and movement, especially in motion. Moreover, her knee‑high black boots grounded the proportions, and a classic Balenciaga City bag added that familiar edge, with its textured leather and metal hardware giving the look a bit of Y2K nostalgia that suits the brand.
Owen Gould left Palvin’s hair loose and easy, matching the energy of her outfit. Meanwhile, Tobi Henney kept the model’s makeup clean with soft definition around the eyes, letting nothing distract from the cutout. On the contrary, everything complemented the statement-worthy outfit.
As a fashion moment, the balance works. But if we are fine‑tuning, the skirt’s bulk can overwhelm from some angles. Hence, a slightly slimmer shape or a higher waist would sharpen the line and let the cutout sit even more intentionally. Moreover, a slick ponytail could also highlight the collar detail and add structure up top. But the tall boot was the right call, serving as the perfect finishing touch.
Despite it all, Barbara Palvin’s Balenciaga outfit with a cutout proves that good styling can turn even basics into chic, street‑worthy pieces.
