Josesito is back with the ‘fits. With Fashion Week festivities finally hitting the streets of Paris, France, the Colombian reggaetonero couldn’t help but join in on the fun. J Balvin dropped in for Virgil Abloh’s Off-White show earlier this week, and he continued to stunt on the sidelines at Louis Vuitton’s event on Thursday, January 16. Of course, his outfits were fit for each occasion. What else would you expect from 2019’s Style Influencer of the Year?

Balvin rolled up to Abloh’s show decked out in the Off-White brand, which the artist has already shown an appreciation for in the past. Back in November 2019, he wore a custom jumpsuit by the fashion designer in his “Blanco” music video — making for an appropriately white palette in his first single off of his Colores series.

“It’s living art,” Balvin said to fashion magazine WWD after the show. “It’s beautiful, like going to the theater.” He also hinted at his appreciation for color by referencing his upcoming album: “You gotta be ready. It’s really colorful,” he added. We had no idea, José!

On that note, Balvin also proved he’s not reigning in any of his purple royalty vibes off of his latest single “Morado” any time soon. At the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2020 show this week, he served up lavender realness before chilling in the front row alongside Blood Orange, Tyga and members of Migos.

Imagine the conversation these guys had. Who knows — maybe we’ll even be lucky enough to get a collab out of it.
