The “Holiday” singer was outfitted in a casual ensemble for the occasion, with a black tee depicting Jack Harlow, the film’s leading man, on the front wearing Lil Nas X merch.

On the footwear front, Nas stepped out in a pair of all-black suede combat boots with a chunky silhouette and rubber soles sat atop short stacked block heels. The set also featured lace-up detailing that offered the shoes a utilitarian feel. Combat boots are well-loved by many celebrities, including Nas.
