In a move that made viewers wonder who was a model and who was a spectator, Demna Gvasalia turned the red carpet into his spring 2022 runway for Balenciaga [1]. Actor Elliot Page happened to be one such guest — when they arrived on the red carpet in a sleek black suit, complete with Balenciaga's latest riff on Crocs [2], he begged the question: model or showgoer? Incidentally, Elliot was, in fact, enlisted by Demna as an official model for the collection — and he and his Crocs quickly became the stars of the red carpet show. The studded platforms are Crocs reimagined — tougher and more statement-making with a metal plate at the toe that reads "Balenciaga", just so everyone knows exactly how fashion they are.

Read on to see Elliot debuting the newest style on the Balenciaga red carpet/runway.
